HURRICANE RELIEF

suffering from the effects of Hurricane Sandy. 

We have established a “Hurricane Relief Fund” for

Raymond Church” with “Hurricane Relief” on the 

memo line. This money will be used to help our 

parishioners and neighbors get through this 

devastating time. 

Our Parish Social Ministry Office is conducting an 

ongoing collection of “items” that are most needed. 

Below is a listing of the things to donate. You can drop 

them off at the Parish Social Ministry Office or call for 

the PSM at 887-9197 for drop-off instructions. Thanks 

for your help!

Fr. Chuck’s Corner 

Greetings and God’s blessings be yours on the 

Feast of the Baptism of the Lord! Today signals 

the official end of the Christmas season. 

Monday starts the initial segment of Ordinary 

Time. The voice of God rings out loud and clear 

in today’s readings proclaiming a message of 

salvation. Faith means changing one’s behavior, 

a reorientation of one’s whole life. In the first 

reading, Isaiah proclaims the fulfillment of Gods 

coming. “Then the glory of the Lord shall be 

revealed, and all people shall see it together; 

for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.” Then in 

Paul’s letter to Titus, God’s generous love and 

kindness are revealed in Jesus who is our hope; 

while Luke’s gospel solidifies the importance of 

Jesus through his baptism. “And a voice came 

from heaven, ‘You Are my beloved Son; with 

you I am well pleased.’” 

Through his baptism, Jesus was revealed as 

the anointed and chosen one, a sign of God’s 

care and the proclamation of God’s grace and 

glory. Now with the coming of the Holy Spirit, 

God shows his constant process of communication 

with humanity. Jesus represents the 

fullness of God’s revelation to humanity. As 

Jesus says to the apostle Philip, “Whoever has 

seen me has seen the Father.” By his example, 

Jesus has shown us that God possesses and 

expresses to perfection the qualities of truth, 

beauty, justice, mercy, grace, goodness, 

compassion-in a word, love. Perhaps one of the 

most useful titles found in the Bible for God is 

the Advent one-Emmanuel, which literally 

means “God-with-us.” That conviction, firmly 

rooted in our hearts, may be all we ever need to 

know about our loving God. 

I believe that this feast in honor of the 

Baptism of Jesus should remind us of the great 

calling of our own baptism. God is revealing 

something of how we are to follow Jesus and 

ultimately God’s self. The Messiah has come 

and as his disciples we are to imitate him in 

doing good, living righteously, showing 

kindness, and bringing God’s justice which 

outlasts all violence. So make sure you know 

the date of your own baptism. Use it as a day 

to reflect on your own faith commitment.. Con- 

nect with God in prayer that day, maybe at Mass 

and Holy Communion. Know it as the most 

important day in your life for its meaning, 

significance and destiny for your life. 

What a great response we had to the plea for 

help in selling the remaining Backwards 

Drawing Tickets last weekend. Over 200 tickets 

were taken for sale. Now the key is to get them 

all back by this coming Friday, January 18 th , the 

day before the Winter Bash party on the 

19 th . All ticket agents are asked to please 

return their sold or unsold ticket by this Friday, 

the 18 th . Tickets for the Winter Bash party are 

still available at the rectory during regular 

office hours. Check the bulletin ad for more 

information. And, again, thanks to all who 

stepped up to get a ticket sold last weekend. 

The latest issue of The Cloak is being 

distributed after all the Masses this 

weekend. The theme is Stewardship and it was 

supposed to be a part of our annual Stewardship 

renewal campaign last November. However, 

with the hurricane, we changed this year’s 

approach, leaving it as only the parish-wide 

mailing that went out in late November. So now 

we are offering this issue of The Cloak to 

everyone for information and spiritual insight to 

the whole approach of Stewardship. Thanks to 

John Markey and his diligent staff of reporters 

and writers for giving us another great issue of 

The Cloak. I hope everyone enjoys it. 

Please remember to take home a copy of the 

bulletin when you leave Mass today. It contains 

many items of interest and invitation with 

something for everyone. Of special note is news 

and needs from Parish Social Ministry, info 

from Religious Education and the Principal’s 

Corner from St. Raymond’s School, sign-up for 

the March for Life on Friday, January 25 th , 

sponsored by the Human Life Committee and 

much more. To keep informed, keep a copy of 

the bulletin at home each week for quick and 

easy reference. 

Have a great week. Smile, share and if you 

don’t already know it, find out the date of your 

own baptism. Hey: Did you ever wonder what 

was the best thing before sliced bread God 

bless always.

PARISH BULLETIN BOARD 

Celebrate life and pay tribute to your 

loved one in a special way with… 

ST. RAYMOND’S CHURCH 

COMMEMORATIVE BRICK MEMORIALS 

Saint Raymond’s Commemorative Brick 

Memorials are a lasting and inspirational way to 

honor a loved one. Your brick will be a reminder to 

all who spend time at any of our four memorials, 

the importance of a life shared with family, friends 

and our parish community. 

Your commemorative brick can be placed at any 

of the four memorials of your choosing: the 

beautiful bronze Holy Family statue on the front 

lawn of the church on the corner of Carman Ave., 

at the lovely St. Therese of Lisiuex (“The Little 

Flower”) memorial garden on the back lawn of the 

church, the impressive God & Country memorial 

on the front lawn on the corner of Roosevelt Ave., 

or at our new St. Padre Pio statue in front of the 

arches connecting the church to the rectory. 

All bricks are 4” x 8” with a 3 line inscription area 

and can be purchased for $250 at the church 

rectory during office hours (Mon.-Fri., 9am—5pm), 

or call the rectory office at 593-5000 and request 

an order form be mailed to you. 

All text will be printed in upper 

case lettering, centered on 

each brick, and with the same 

typeface. There is a maximum 

of 14 characters per line. 

You may also use numbers for 

the inscriptions. Spacing 

between words is considered a 

character, however, 

punctuation does not require a space. 

Please note: All inscriptions are subject to the 

approval of St. Raymond Church. 

Family Mass 

Next Sunday, 

Jan. 20th, 9:00am 

We look forward to 

seeing your family at 

this special Mass! 

Tickets are still on sale for our new 

Winter Bash party which is replacing the 

postponed “Fall Fling.” Because of the 

hurricane and all the recovery efforts, I 

decided that it was not the time to have 

this party so it has been moved to 

Saturday January 19, 2013. Hence 

the new title of “Winter Bash.” 

Previously sold Fall Fling tickets will be 

honored for that day or refunds given if 

necessary. The party will run from 6- 

11pm in the School Auditorium. There 

will be food, drink, music, dancing, 

raffles, door prizes and surprises. Plus, 

throughout the evening festivities the 

“Backwards Money Drawing” 

tickets will be pulled until the last of the 

500 tickets is left which will win the 

Grand Prize of $10,000. 

So make plans now to enjoy a fun 

evening out with friends here at St. 

Raymond’s. Tickets to the 

“Winter Bash Party” are 

$20 each and can be 

purchased at the rectory 

during regular office hours.

“Given the current political climate, the 

40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade & 

Nellie’s death (Nellie Gray, the founder of 

the “March of Life”), I expect this January 

to bring a lot of media coverage. We’ll 

warmly embrace it and do our very best to 

bring to light as much as we can about our 

movement—how positive it is, how youth-focused it is. 

The vast majority of participants are 25 and younger, 

and that speaks volumes. We know polling is showing 

that being pro-life is the new normal in America. More 

Americans self-identify as being pro-life, and young 

people are the most pro-life of all age groups. Young 

people know that abortion is the human rights issue of 

our day, and they’re set to overturn Roe v. Wade in 

their lifetime to make things right. The other side is 

definitely afraid of us, because we have the young 

people on our side. 

“There have been so many advances in technology, 

such as ultra-sound machines that can detect the 

sound of the heartbeat, that show that a baby is a 

baby from the moment of conception. We don’t ever 

have to manipulate or try to cajole people to believe 

what we believe, because the truth is so compelling. 

As we see more scientific advances and research, 

people will become more pro-life.” (Jeanne Monahan, 

the new full-time president of the “March for Life 

Education & Defense Fund”) 

Next monthly meeting: Monday, Jan. 21st, 2:30pm- 

4pm, in the rectory basement (MWMR). All are 

invited—all are needed. Help be a voice for God’s little 

ones residing in the womb.

The Heart 

of the Parish 

Parish Social Ministry 

If we were blessed to escape the fury 

of Sandy, the extensive impact of this 

that storm may also escape our 

comprehension. Unless we are 

affected personally in some way, it is 

difficult to understand completely the 

continued ramifications and domino 

effect of such an event. Yet, because 

we are a community of especially 

concerned and empathetic people in East Rockaway 

and Lynbrook our close-knit community will continue 

to be as generous as possible so that our neighbors 

can return to life close to normal, as quickly as 

possible. However, we must realize that much of the 

devastation will take months if not years to return to 

relative normality. Do we have the resolution and 

commitment to stay the course of generosity and 

concern for Sandy’s victims for as long as it takes 

From what we are privileged to witness at Parish 

Social Ministry, we most certainly do. We see a 

community dedicated to stewardship; one which 

exhibits a cooperate spirit, striving to make a 

difference. With the gift of God’s graces, we will 

accomplish all that needs to be done. 

Disaster Relief Fund: If you know anyone in our 

parish neighborhood who was affected by Sandy, 

please let him or her know that applications for 

Catholic Charities Disaster Relief Fund continue to be 

accepted. Everyone who was impacted by Sandy in 

our Parish can call Parish Social Ministry (887-9197) 

to make an appointment to submit an application for 

help with immediate needs. Please help us to spread 

the word. 

Pantry Items Needed: Powdered and 

Evaporated Milk, Coffee, Packaged Mashed 

Potatoes, Rice Dinners, Small Bottles of Oil, 

Canned Fruit, Frosting, Canned Pasta, 

Razors, Dishwashing Detergent, Shampoo 

and Conditioner.
