J
From the Pastor’s Desk Dear Parishioners,
“Let the one without sin cast the first stone.” (John 8:7) In today’s Gospel, on the Fifth Sunday of Lent, Jesus directs our attention to two places. First, He addresses the accusers in their anger and desire for vengeance. In simple, yet compassionate language, He asks that the one who thinks himself perfect and without any sin be the first to carry out the prescribed punishment. Jesus doesn’t say that the sin is not wrong or against the law of God, but He challenges them to look at their own lives. In that introspection, Jesus wishes them to see in the failings of that woman, a reflection of their own lives and to reflect on the times they themselves have sinned. In seeing or remembering their personal sins, they are to realize that to sin is part of the human experience. And, if common to each person, then the question to a rational person becomes... what is the response when we encounter another sinner? The second direction our minds must turn to is Jesus’ treatment of the woman caught in adultery. When all around her were quick to condemn and seek out a vengeance, this woman, scared and alone, now encounters probably what she never could have imagined...a voice of compassion. Jesus doesn’t minimize her sin, but rather offers her hope for a new life. That hope is based on a willingness to embrace a new life. Those words of Jesus, “neither do I condemn you, go and from now on do not sin anymore” must have been joy to her ears. It is a challenge to live a new life and to realize that the God we worship in Jesus is not one that wishes us to die in our sins, but rather to live in the freedom that He came to offer us. By the words of Jesus, she has been given a second chance to live faithfully in God. So what does this mean for us? Very simply, be careful how we judge the sins and failings of others. Because if we look closely at our own lives, we realize that we too fall short of the expectations that God has for us. As much as God is merciful to us, so we must in turn share that compassion with the sinner in our midst. We also learn that God wants so much to forgive our sins so that they do not weigh heavy upon our hearts. But for that to happen, we must be willing to acknowledge our sins and to hear the voice of Jesus as He forgives them. What better way than to take advantage of the Sacrament of Reconciliation? Do not be afraid...come to the Sacrament and hear and feel the healing that Jesus so much wants to offer to you. Do not let pride or FEAR keep you from this wondrous Sacrament. A reminder that we have launched a new website and I invite you to check it out: saintmarysmanhasset.org. I want to thank Eileen Symmons for all her hard work and dedication to our website. A reminder that the Stations of the Cross are prayed each Friday evening at 7:00 PM in the Church. You are invited to walk with Jesus in this ancient prayer form.
The Veiling of Crosses and Statues on the 5th Sunday of Lent As you come into the church today, you will see that the crosses and statues have been covered or “veiled.” Why are we doing this? Veils over sacred images keep our minds on the promise of Easter. It might seem strange that during the most sacred time of year, Catholics cover everything that is beautiful in their churches, even the crucifix. Shouldn’t we be looking at the painful scene at Calvary while we listen to the Passion narrative on Palm Sunday?

From the Pastor’s Desk (con’t.) While it may appear counterintuitive to veil statues and images during the final weeks of Lent, the Church recommends this practice to heighten our senses and build a longing for Easter Sunday within us. It is a tradition that should not only be carried out in our local parish, but can also be a fruitful activity for the “domestic church.” The rubrics can guide us in the practices of this season. In the Roman Missal, we find the instruction, “In the Dioceses of the United States, the practice of covering crosses and images throughout the church from [the fifth] Sunday [of Lent] should be observed. Crosses remain covered until the end of the Celebration of the Lord’s Passion on Good Friday, but other images remain covered until the beginning of the Easter Vigil.” This is the current practice of the Church, but veiling from the Fifth Sunday of Lent onward is minuscule compared to what was once practiced. For example, in Germany, there was a tradition to veil the altar from view throughout all of Lent. Families are also encouraged to imitate this practice and veil prominent religious images in their homes. It helps us to participate in the liturgical season, especially if we are not able to go to Mass during the week. Otherwise, we only see the veiled images in church once or twice before Easter and it has a minor effect on us. It is also a beautiful tradition to pass down to our children, who will be intrigued by it, and it will make this time of year truly special for them. We go through great lengths to decorate our homes for Easter, so why not prepare for the great feast by using veils? But why go through such lengths to cover up images that are designed to raise our hearts and minds toward heaven? First of all, we use veils to alert us to the special time that we are in. When we walk into church and notice everything is covered, we immediately know that something is different. These last two weeks of Lent are meant to be a time of immediate preparation for the Sacred Triduum and the veils are a powerful reminder to get ready. Secondly, the veils focus our attention on the words being said at Mass. When we listen to the Passion narrative, our senses are allowed to focus on the striking words from the Gospel and truly enter into the scene. Third, the Church uses veils to produce a heightened sense of anticipation for Easter Sunday. This is further actualized when you attend daily Mass and see the veils each day. You don’t want them to be there because they are hiding some very beautiful images. And therein lies the whole point: the veils are not meant to be there forever. The images need to be unveiled; it is unnatural for them to be covered. The unveiling before the Easter Vigil is a great reminder of our own life on earth. We live in a “veiled” world, in exile from our true home. It is only through our own death that the veil is lifted and we are finally able to see the beauty of everything in our lives. In Jesus, our Crucified Lord, Fr. Bob

The Schools of Saint Mary Spring Blood Drive Held in Memory of Faculty Member, Mrs. Anne Salzman Our Fourth Grade Little Doctors Program was a huge success for the St. Mary’s Elementary School’s annual Spring Blood Drive. In collaboration with New York Blood Center, students returned in person to the Marian Room this year to assist in the Blood Drive. They guided donors to their respective stations, providing snacks and lending a hand to their steady flow of participants as they arrived at the Church of Saint Mary on Wednesday, March 23. Mr. Doug Salzman stopped by to support the students and thank them for continuing to keep his wife Anne’s memory alive here at St. Mary’s. Donors received orange carnations distributed by the children in remembrance of Mrs. Salzman, who quickly became a cherished faculty member when she joined our family in 2012. Among other roles, she served as the Blood Drive Coordinator during her time at St. Mary’s. Mrs. Salzman advocated helping those in need and teaching our students the importance of blood donations. Mrs. Salzman was diagnosed with leukemia in 2019, and, after fighting with incredible physical and spiritual strength, she went home to God in September of 2020. Co-Principal Sarah Griffin was proud to report that “78 donors participated, which translates to 234 lives saved! In addition to the Blood Drive, a Student Dress Down Day fundraiser was held simultaneously in the school and provided the children an opportunity to help the effort since they are much too young to give blood. Together they raised over $1,000 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.” With your help, we will continue this critical work in Mrs. Salzman’s name. Thank you to all who were able to donate blood or contribute to the fundraiser. We are also grateful to those who volunteered and assisted with the program.
Harvard Club Honors Mrs. Trudy Hoffman Saint Mary’s is proud to announce that Mrs. Trudy Hoffman, a faculty member of St. Mary’s Elementary School, has been named a “Distinguished Teacher of 2022” by the Harvard Club of Long Island. “This award honors middle and high school teachers who have profoundly influenced their students’ lives,” explained Dr. Judith Esterquest, Chair of the Distinguished Teacher Selection Committee. “Dedicated teachers like Mrs. Hoffman inspire Long Island students to excel, to become passionate about learning, and to recognize the value of hard work. These teachers devote countless hours to creating better futures for our children.” Mrs. Hoffman will be honored at a virtual awards ceremony on Saturday, April 2, along with seven other teachers from across Long Island. Delivering the keynote will be Harvard Professor of Psychology Fiery Cushman, who studies how people make moral decisions. Mrs. Hoffman, who has taught 6th grade English Language Arts (ELA) and Old Testament religion for the past 22 years at St. Mary’s Elementary School, wanted to be a teacher ever since she was in kindergarten. After receiving both her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Education from St. John’s University, she continued her studies, earning numerous New York State certifications. Mrs. Hoffman moderates the Middle School Mock Trial Program at St. John’s. She is also the St. Mary’s team moderator, which consistently achieves entrance to the highly regarded annual regional competition. She is also a member of the Cognia Accreditation Committee. Happily married and a mother of three adult children, Mrs. Hoffman enjoys travel, seeking out art and history museums during European adventures.
Mary Duvnjak, who attended Saint Mary’s Elementary School a decade ago, still remembers her 6th-grade grammar lessons. She describes Mrs. Hoffman as such “a supportive teacher, and kind person [she] inspired my Harvard essay.” Mary went on to say, “she taught me that if I put meaning into my work and work hard, I can succeed.” Mary expects to graduate from Harvard College next month. When St. Mary’s Co-Principal Sarah Griffin learned of this award, she said, “Through her creative, cutting-edge, and thought-provoking lessons in English Language Arts and religion, Mrs. Hoffman always leaves a lasting and motivating impression on her 6th-grade students.” Principal Griffin proudly shared that “Mrs. Hoffman does something our School’s patroness taught us all first; she listens. Mrs. Hoffman listens and hears the needs of her students and responds with kindness, genuine care, and compassion.” At the virtual ceremony on April 2, the Harvard Club of Long Island will announce the Distinguished Teacher of 2022, who will also receive a scholarship for a “Harvard Experience” at the Harvard University campus in Cambridge, MA. Past winners of the scholarships have enhanced their teaching by sampling the resources available to Harvard students, such as meeting with faculty; visiting research laboratories, rare book archives, and specialty museums; and enjoying visual and performance art. The scholarships are funded by contributions from Harvard alumni living on Long Island. This year’s Distinguished Teacher Award winners were nominated by current Harvard undergraduates and then selected by Harvard Club of Long Island board members. They teach algebra, biology, chemistry, English, history, language arts, and psychology. The winners teach in Copiague, Freeport, Lawrence, Port Jefferson, Syosset, Three Village public school districts, and St. Mary’s Elementary School in Manhasset. Mrs. Hoffman is the first teacher from Saint Mary’s Elementary School to receive this prestigious award. Congratulations on this tremendous honor, Mrs. Hoffman. We are blessed to have you as a member of our faculty, guiding our students in their faith journeys and achievement of academic success. We also thank Ms. Mary Duvnjak, who is also a member of our St. Mary’s Parish family, for nominating Mrs. Hoffman for this award. The testimony of your educational experience with Mrs. Hoffman provided the Harvard Club with exemplary words evidenced in your heart. Your continued studies, determination, and work ethic are applauded. We wish you much success in your future.

Celebration of the Solemnity of the Annunciation St. Mary’s High School’s Campus Ministry Program organized a celebration and Prayer Service for the Solemnity of the Annunciation.
by Joella Paccione '22 Last Friday, March 25, was the Solemnity of the Annunciation, where we celebrated the Virgin Mary's "yes" to the Angel Gabriel. Sister Monica Marie kicked off the festivities with a party in the campus ministry room during both lunch periods. The room was embellished with blue balloons, blue streamers and other blue decorations. Students of Sister Monica Marie helped blow up balloons, hang streamers and organize the room prior to the event to help with the preparation of the party. Complete with cookie cakes, various chips and sodas, students relished the merriment. They even played pool and bingo and conversed with friends of other grades. Sister Monica Marie even made rosaries for the winners of bingo!!! This event was a massive success with the student body, and helped celebrate the joy of the annunciation. I even heard one of the seniors talking about how much they loved the party and were glad to be celebrating this religious day with their friends and fellow siblings of Christ. Another student said that this new experience helped them come more to terms with their relationship with God. This event was important to me because the Annunciation reminded me of how important Mary’s “yes” is to us as Catholics. An interesting thought I reflected on was how the Annunciation is so crucial to our religion. If Mary didn’t say “yes,” our faith would not exist. The day of festivities concluded during the last period, where the administration invited students out onto the field to commemorate the Annunciation. Father Dominik conducted the opening prayer, followed by senior students who led a decade of the rosary for the student body. The event was followed by a prayer for Russia and Ukraine in hope for peace in the conflict overseas. The administration also gave out cookies for the students to enjoy, which was greatly appreciated by all! Overall, the day was a huge success and surely marks a new tradition for St. Mary’s in future years!
A Lenten Reflection by Father Collins ANGER IS A D-ANGER I am not going to tell you to never get angry; that is almost impossible for human beings. Saint Paul was aware of that, so he advised the Christians of Ephesus thus: “Be angry but do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and do not make room for the devil” (Ephesians 4: 26-27). Why then did Jesus teach that “…if you are angry with a brother or sister, you will be liable to judgment?” (Matthew 5:22) The fact is that there are two levels or degrees of anger. There is that kind of anger which quickly blazes up and just as quickly dies down. It is an anger which rises speedily and, just as speedily, passes. The Greek word for this type of anger is thumos. Then there is orgé which is best translated in English as wrath. This is the type of anger that becomes deep-rooted. It is the anger over which people brood, and which they will not allow to die. Since this type of anger has the potential to lead to such a greater evil as murder, Jesus bids us take the bull by the horns and avoid it completely. So, according to William Barclay, “Jesus forbids forever the type of anger which refuses to be pacified, the anger which seeks revenge.” (William Barclay, The New Daily Study Bible, The Gospel of Matthew, Vol. 1, p. 160) He further quotes Cicero as saying that “when anger enters the scene, nothing is done rightly and nothing sensibly.” Again, Barclay quotes a saying of Seneca that anger is “a brief insanity.” (ibid) In the light of all these, if you are struggling with anger in any its forms, here are some suggestions for your consideration. In the first place, use the power of prayer. Jesus bids us to learn from him because he is “meek and humble of heart.” (Matthew 11: 28-29) He again pronounces the meek as blessed and worthy of inheriting the earth. (5:5). Therefore, I strongly recommend you pray this short prayer heartily and fervently, (ideally before a crucifix or in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament) anytime you are irritated or disturbed: “Jesus, meek and humble of heart, make my heart like unto thine.” Pray this repeatedly and meditatively until your heart calms down. Secondly, meet people in your mind before meeting them in person. This will mean taking about ten minutes each morning to ponder over, meditate and anticipate all you have to do throughout the day, the people you are likely to meet, and what they are likely to bring up. This helps you to figure out well ahead of time and pre-condition your mind on how to react appropriately to situations and eventualities. As Socrates said: “The unexamined life is not worth living.” So live one day at a time while beginning and ending each day with meditations over what is to happen or has happened in the day. Furthermore, create enough time for the tasks you have to accomplish or the journeys you have to make so that you are able to slow yourself down in all your activities. This is because speed generates heat and heat makes you boil within with anger. Our modern world equates or defines being smart as often being just hasty or speedy; but speed is not the prime attribute of smartness. The first definition of smartness is making good judgements or decisions. It doesn’t necessarily take speed to make good judgements and decisions, especially for human beings. Most often, it turns out that in being so hasty we leave important details out and have to go over all again. Hence, the saying: “more haste, less speed.” Finally, consider that your anger, most often, hurts only you. Imagine banging on your steering wheel and uttering curse words in anger over that reckless driver who cut in front of you on the road. Who suffers? So, considered seriously, most of the happenings around us are not worth fuming over especially when we don’t have any control over them and our anger will not lead to any change or eradication of them. Let us strive to keep our calm, at least within our confines and areas of jurisdiction; thus balancing our afflictions with peace in the home. “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.” (Matthew 5:9) Thank you, Father Collins The Fifth Sunday of Lent | April 3, 2022
Rosary Society Lenten Day of Recollection The Rosary Society’s Annual Lenten Day of Recollection on Wednesday, March 23rd, received a warm welcome upon its return to Our Lady of Grace Spiritual Center. Attended by many of our members, the day began with the recitation of the Rosary in the chapel. Father Dominik celebrated Mass, and gave an inspired homily on the pillars of Lent (Prayer, Fasting, and Almsgiving). Father Collins also joined us as our special guest. Lastly, a delicious lunch was enjoyed by all. This event provided both faith-filled prayer and renewed companionship among our Rosarians. Many thanks to the IHM Sisters at Our Lady of Grace for their gracious hospitality!
Religious Education Dear St. Mary’s Families, Last week, both Confirmandi and First Communicants received joy and peace through the sacrament of Reconciliation. Fr. Bob shared how sacramental grace is the fruit of the action of Christ when the words “I absolve thee” are pronounced in His Name. In his homily at the Act of Consecration of Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Pope Francis beautifully stated that “All too often, we think that Confession is about going to God with dejected looks. Yet, it is not so much that we go to the Lord, but that He comes to us, to fill us with his grace, to fill us with his joy.” We pray to always remember that God’s love has no beginning or end. As the Psalmist tells us “How precious is your unfailing love, O God! All humanity finds shelter in the shadow of your wings” (Psalm 36). Thank you to all our wonderful Catechists for your kind help and support in these very busy weeks! May this Lenten journey continue to reveal the Kingdom of God within you. Blessings, Mrs. Granieri
