  • From Our Pastor, Msgr. Steven Camp
    CChurchhurch ofof St.St. PatrickPatrick 400 Main Street Huntington, New York 11743 (631)-385-3311 www.stpatrickchurchhunt.org FROM OUR PASTOR, MSGR. STEVEN CAMP Dear Parishioners, Today is the Fourth Sunday of Lent, traditionally known as Laetare Sunday. Laetare (“Rejoice”), sets a tone of joyful anticipation of the Easter mystery, which is only weeks away. This is why the Priest wears rose-colored vestments. The name comes from Entrance Antiphon for this Mass: “ Rejoice, Jerusalem, and all you who love her”. This Fourth Sunday of Lent marks a joyful relief amidst the seriousness and somberness of the many weeks of preparation for Easter. Even in Lent we rejoice, because we know God loves us and will provide for our needs. In the first reading today, from the Book of Chronicles, God pardons those who have been unfaithful. In today’s Gospel as well in the second reading, we are reminded that the Father has sent the Son because He has so loved us that He wants us to be able to return to Him. We rejoice in the forgiveness that the Lord offers for each of us. With this Sunday being the fourth Sunday of Lent, we come close to Holy Week. Holy Week is one of the most important weeks of the year for the Church. As we continue to prepare to celebrate the Lord’s entrance into Jerusalem, Passion & Death, and His Glorious Resurrection on Easter Sunday, please make note of the schedule of all of the Holy Week liturgies that will take place here in our Parish.

In it, I asked the people of our Archdiocese to enter into a deeper relationship with Christ, to be not merely His disciples but His missionary disciples, extending the light of the Gospel to others among us so that they, too, could fully welcome His Word into their hearts. The Catholic Community Foundation is uniquely positioned to aid this evangelization effort for years to come. “Through their endowed giving, Foundation contributors are helping to foster a culture of Catholic growth and renewal.” Established in 1998 by my predecessor, Cardinal William H. Keeler, the Catholic Community Foundation has grown to over 470 separate funds, each with its own unique purpose and benefit. Not only are our parishes well-represented and supported by the Foundation, so too are our Catholic schools, clergy, religious and a host of ministries that are critically integral to carrying out the Church’s evangelizing work. Indeed, through their endowed giving, Foundation contributors are helping to foster a culture of Catholic growth and renewal.

  • The Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul Relics Collection Now on Display
    The Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul Relics Collection Now on Display The Basilica of Sts. Peter and Paul has recently catalogued its collection of about eighty authenticated relics, as well as numerous others which are not yet authenticated. Authenticated relics are now being displayed in a rotation on the reredos of the two side altars, on niches that were specially designed for this purpose during the Basilica's recent renovation. A directory of relics, with information pages about each saint, is available at each side altar. This directory is also posted on StsPeterAndPaulBasilica.com under “Relics Collection.” A memorial plaque honoring the late John George Jerome Holland III is now on display in the vestibule. A short biography of Mr. Holland, with a photo of him, is included on his memorial display. The Basilica’s Altar Guild has assumed stewardship of the rotation of relics on the side altars. Displayed relics are now identified with cards that indicate the name of the saint. On or near a saint’s feast day, the relic of the saint in our collection may be featured prominently. Parishioners and visitors are encouraged to take time to appreciate these relics that we are privileged to house in our sanctuary, as well as the information about the saints found in the directory, as an opportunity to venerate the mortal remains of saints who now enjoy the blessing of heaven. Special thanks to Therese Ohotnicky, Basilica parishioner, who organized the Basilica's relics collection, compiled the directory, and produced the memorial display honoring Mr. Holland, as part of her American Heritage Girls Stars and Stripes Award.

  • Saint Clement Mary Hofbauer, Priest Feast
    March 15 Saint Clement Mary Hofbauer, Priest Feast lement MarY Hofbauer was born in TasswitZ in Moravia (Czech Republic) on De- Ccember 26, 1751. In his early youth, after the death of his father, he worked as an apprentice baker. Then, having become a servant in the Premonstratensian Abbey at Klosterbruck (Znaim), he was able to follow the call to the priesthood, first by completing his secondary schooling, and then his catechetical, philosophical and theological studies in Vienna. During this time, he made yearly pilgrimages to Rome, where he encountered the Redemptorists. On October 24, 1784, with his friend, Thaddeus Hübl, he was received by the Re- demptorists. Both were professed on March 19, 1785, and ordained priests shortly after at Alatri on March 29. After a few months of study in the house of Frosinone, he returned beyond the Alps, where in his role as vicar general of the Congrega- tion he founded the first house of the Redemptorists in Warsaw. Other houses followed in Poland, Prussia, Germany, Switzerland and Romania. In Warsaw, where he lived from 1787 to 1808, with the collaboration of young men of various nationalities, a very fruitful apostolate was developed, promoting good works and strengthening the piety of the faithful. With the dissolution of the Redemptorists in Warsaw, after the takeover of Poland by Napoleon, he was forced to leave Warsaw and found his way to Vienna where he ministered until his death. In 1813 he was appointed rector of the church of the Ursulines and also their confessor. Through the charism of spiritual direction, preaching, confession and works of charity, he converted and helped people of every social class.
