From Allentown to Levittown - Fr. Kevin On January 31, 2017, John Oliver Barres became the Fifth Bishop of the Diocese of Rockville Centre. Amid much pomp, pageantry and solemnity Bishop Barres was escorted to the Cathedra (Bishop’s chair) in St. Agnes Cathedral by His Eminence Timothy Cardinal Dolan, Metropolitan/ Archbishop of New York and Most Reverend Christophe Pierre, Apostolic Nuncio to the United States of America to succeed Most Rev. William F. Murphy, Fourth Bishop of Rockville Centre. The ceremony was very impressive and over fifty Bishops and three Cardinals were present as well as hundreds of priests and deacons from the Dioceses of Allentown, PA, Wilmington, DE and Rockville Centre NY. A number of Religious Sisters and Brothers were also present as well as a myriad of lay people from all backgrounds and ages. In an interview before the Mass of Installation, Bishop Barres joked that he is the only United States Prelate that has something in common with Billy Joel. Billy Joel wrote a song about Allentown (Bishop Barres’ former Diocese) and Joel hails from Long Island (Bishop Barres’ new Diocese). Bishop Barres was then asked if he was familiarizing himself with all the littles towns, hamlets and villages of Nassau and Suffolk Counties and he replied yes and that he knew where Levittown was. He then went on to say “I guess I am going from living in Allentown to living near Levittown!” I thought it might be of value to write a little bit about Bishop Barres’ predecessors here in our Diocese. The Diocese of Rockville Centre was established on April 16, 1957 by Pope Pius XII, prior to that we were a part of the Brooklyn Diocese. The First Bishop of Rockville Centre was Walter P. Kellenberg who was ordained a priest for the Archdiocese of New York on June 2, 1928. In 1954, Bishop Kellenberg was consecrated Bishop of the Diocese of Ogdensberg, NY where he served until 1957 when he was consecrated Bishop of the newly formed Rockville Centre Diocese. Bishop Kellenberg served at a time when church attendance was high, the reforms of Vatican II were being implemented and new Catholic High Schools like Holy Trinity and St. Pius X were being opened. His episcopal moto was Queen, Guide Me by Thy Light. He retired in June 1976 when John R. McGann succeeded him. Bishop McGann, the Second Bishop of Rockville Centre was consecrated a Bishop on June 24, 1976. He is the only Bishop in the history of our Diocese to be consecrated in a place other than our Diocesan Cathedral. Bishop McGann’s installation took place at the Nassau Coliseum because he wanted as many people as possible to be able to attend. I was privileged to be in attendance at the ceremony because I was a freshman at the high school seminary St. Pius X.
Bishop McGann was loved by laity, priests and religious. His easy going and friendly down to earth personality made him approachable. He encouraged lay participation in the Church and continued the teachings of Vatican II. Bishop McGann’s episcopal moto was Serve the Lord with Gladness, and that he did in his 25 years as Bishop. He retired in January 2000, when James T. McHugh succeeded him. Bishop McHugh, the Third Bishop of Rockville Centre served only for 11 months and was victim to an untimely death. In his brief tenure as Bishop here in Rockville Centre, Bishop McHugh is best remembered as being a champion and defender of life in all its forms from the womb to the tomb. He was a man of profound humility, who even though was a successor to the Apostles was not afraid to do his own dishes, cook for himself and even take out his own garbage. His episcopal motto was What Shall I Return to the Lord? In December of 2000, Bishop James McHugh succumbed to cancer and died. William F. Murphy of Boston succeeded him in September 2001. Bishop Murphy, the Fourth Bishop of Rockville Centre was ordained a priest for the Archdiocese of Boston and was consecrated Auxiliary Bishop of Boston on December 27, 1995. On September 5, 2001 Bishop Murphy was installed as Bishop of Rockville Centre at St. Agnes Cathedral. He has served on numerous committees with the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and as a member of the Board of Trustees of the Catholic University of America. Less than a week after his installation, Bishop Murphy led us through the tragic and uncertain times following the 9/11 attacks, reminding us that mercy, forgiveness and trust in God will eventually led to healing. He celebrated a hope filled and uplifting mass at the Nassau Coliseum a month after the attack in honor of all the First Responders, both living and deceased. Bishop Murphy is fluent in four languages, French, Spanish, English and Italian. His episcopal motto is No Other Name. He retired on January 31, 2017 when he was succeeded by John Oliver Barres. Bishop Barres brings a love for the youth of our Church and is encouraging them to be proud of their Catholicity. He has a love of sports, particularly basketball and played J.V. Basketball for Princeton University. He can even be seen on You Tube videos conducting basketball practices with the young people of his former Diocese, Allentown. His episcopal motto is Holiness and Mission. As a priest of this Diocese I look forward to working with and supporting Bishop Barres and welcoming him here to St. Boniface Martyr in the not too distant future. Ad Multos Anos, Bishop Barres.

Take Five for Faith Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time, February 12 Marriage isn’t for everyone, and current trends may point to a declining appeal. But for those who have said, “I do,” the rest of us say, “Thank you.” Your bold act of casting lots together for better or worse until death offers all of us insight into the joyful and sorrowful mysteries of divine love and the nature and power of God, who is love. Whether or not you’re married, do what you can to support the marriages in your midst—today, World Marriage Day, and every day.
Monday, February 13 Everyone experiences difficulties at some point in their lives. No matter how fortunate a person may be, going a lifetime without adversity is next to impossible. The early church went through trials of a different sort: hostility, persecution, and the general tension of living in a world that did not share its beliefs. These days there is still friction between a life of faith and an increasingly secular world. The response of some is to condemn that world rather than engage it. Contemporary Christians can learn from the first ones, who saw in trials the opportunity to grow in virtue and develop their faith. Tuesday, February 14 Memorial of St. Cyril and St. Methodius There’s a small detail in the gospel story of how Jesus fed 4,000 people with a few loaves and fish: “Some of them have come from a great distance.” “Great distance” here was a code word for “outsider.” Even outsiders, like Gentiles, were welcome at God’s table. Eight centuries later the brothers Cyril and Methodius were called to be missionaries. They not only evangelized, at great distances, but also translated scripture and liturgy into the language of the people. These saints recognized that truly welcoming everyone to God’s kingdom called for moving out of established boundaries. And that’s a miracle we, too, can be part of. Wednesday, February 15 As any teacher can attest, not everyone comprehends a lesson on the first teaching: Instructions need to be repeated. The same holds true for Christian enlightenment: Some people have a sudden moment of clarity when they know Jesus as their savior; others need continual signs before they realize that through Jesus their lives have been
restored. No matter how a person reaches this 5 moment of truth, conversion is the central message of Christianity. We must come to know God, feel the presence of the divine in our lives, and strive for holiness in which we give glory to God and are of service to others. Thursday, February 16 At a time in our country when we most need unity, we are divided. We face many difficult issues at one time—war and national security, healthcare, immigration, fiscal policies—each demanding serious attention. Yet our political debate has become toxic. We no longer seem willing to listen carefully, argue dispassionately, or disagree respectfully—much less reach for a compromise of any kind. The internet plays an important role here. In both bread and politics a little yeast goes a long way. Remember, then, to read widely and pay attention to your sources. Where are your “facts” coming from? Friday, February 17 Memorial of the Seven Holy Founders of the Servite Order A good number of religious orders started out as a small group of people looking for a simpler life of prayer and fellowship. Originally a group of seven successful cloth merchants from Florence, the founders of the Servite order started to meet in 1233 to pray and do penance. In time they left their wealthy lifestyles to reside in a dilapidated structure outside the city. Because of their holiness, though, people started coming to them for prayers and spiritual advice. Eventually the community grew into an order that today serves around the world. Make time for an inner life of prayer—and then live out that prayer in the world. Saturday, February 18 Memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary Children often ask why Mary, the mother of Jesus, stands on a snake in many of her images—they’re afraid of snakes; why isn’t she? Tradition has long interpreted the divine saying to Eve in Genesis as a prophecy that one day a woman would come to wage war on the serpent who tricked her weaker sister. This woman would have no fear of the snake because she would never experience the bondage of sin. This story explains the origin of the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception. Offer the traditional prayer today: O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to you. ©2017 TrueQuest Communications. Reprinted with permission from TakeFiveForFaith.com.

Faith Foundation Future
January 2017 Dear Parishioners, I am happy to report that we have a beautiful new awning that has been added to the main entrance of our school building! Thanks to the generous donation of the Rezza, Filippone, and Rocco families we have this new addition to our school. Mrs. Rezza was a member of the St. Patrick/ All Saints Staff and parishioner for 40 years. She devoted much of her time and talent to our community. I had the privilege of spending some time with her when I came to All Saints 5 years ago. Mrs. Rezza would stop in my office every Tuesday afternoon at 3pm before she went to help in the religious education office. I enjoyed my chats with her and the tradition continues as I have the pleasure of working and chatting with her daughter Mrs. Carol Filippone every day. Mrs. Filippone is the Bursar for the school and works tirelessly to help the school community. Mrs. Rezza passed away in September. She is greatly missed, but not forgotten. Every time someone enters or leaves the school it will be a reminder of her devotion to Catholic Education. Sincerely Yours in Christ, Mrs. Joanne Fitzgerald
All Saints Celebrates Catholic Schools Week “Since 1974, National Catholic Schools Week is the annual celebration of Catholic education in the United States.

*WHAT
IS
A HOOLEY?
We’re having a Hooley!*
“Hooley” is a fun word for a very lively, informal Irish house party. It's a tradition that dates back in Ireland and Irish America to the days before recorded entertainment, before radio and TV. It still lingers among people who understand how much fun it can be for friends and family to entertain each other.
To celebrate the Presentation of Sashes to the Grand Marshal and Aides of the 29th Annual
The party centers around the idea of the "party piece". A lot of people come to the party prepared with at least one party piece of entertainment - a song or a tune on an instrument, a stepdance, a poem, a recitation, or a joke or story to tell - for the enjoyment of everyone at the party. Anyone can take a turn, or join in with someone else, or just listen. It's a great way to get to know your friends and neighbors. A hooley might break out spontaneously anytime friends are gathered at a neighbor's house, usually in the kitchen, where everyone can share the food and drink brought along by the guests.

National Marriage Week is Feb 7-14 - Celebrating the 'Gift and Blessing of Marriage' WASHINGTON—National Marriage Week USA and World Marriage Day are opportunities "to celebrate the gift and blessing of marriage," said the chairman of the Committee on Laity, Marriage, Family Life and Youth of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). It's not too late to start a daily virtual marriage retreat available through Facebook: www.facebook.com/foryourmarriage or to download here. This year's retreat draws from both Pope Francis' apostolic exhortation Amoris Laetitia (2015) and the USCCB pastoral letter Marriage: Love and Life in the Divine Plan (2009). The celebration of National Marriage Week in the U.S. began in 2002, originating from Marriage Week International. World Marriage Day, held the second Sunday of February each year, was started in 1983 by Worldwide Marriage Encounter. Prayer of Married Couples Almighty and eternal God, You blessed the union of husband and wife so that we might reflect the union of Christ with his Church: look with kindness on us. Renew our marriage covenant. Increase your love in us, and strengthen our bond of peace so that, [with our children], we may always rejoice in the gift of your blessing. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen. --From USCCB Virtual Retreat Book Talk: "The Expansive Mind of John Henry Newman" Come hear Msgr. Charles Fink speak on the spiritual teachings and other writings of Blessed John Henry Newman in the library at the Seminary of the Immaculate Conception on Sunday afternoon, February 26th, at 2 pm.
