Summer is the best season for many reasons. School is out, it's sunny and hot, ice cream all day every day and hello, beach days are amazing! Plus, summer is when all the fun "Dads are most ordinary men turned by love vacaƟons happen. into heroes, adventurers, storytellers, and singers of song." On June 22, the Catholic Church remembers Saint Paulinus of Nola, who gave up his life in politics to become a monk, a bishop, and a revered Christian poet of the 5th century.
In a December 2007 general audience on St. Paulinus, Pope Benedict XVI remarked on the saint's artistic gifts, which inspired “songs of faith and love in which the daily history of small and great events is seen as a histo- ry of salvation, a history of God with us.”
The poet-bishop's ministry, Pope Benedict said, was also “distinguished by special attention to the poor” – confirming his legacy as “a bishop with a great heart who knew how to make himself close to his people in the sorrowful trials of the barbari- an invasions” during the 5th century.
Born at Bordeaux in present-day France during 354, Paulinus came from an illustrious family in the Roman imperial province of Aquitania. He received his literary education from the renowned poet and professor Ausonius, and eventually rose to the rank of governor in the Italian province of Cam- pania.
Not yet baptized or a believer in Christ, Paulinus was nonetheless struck by the Campanians' devo- tion to the martyr Saint Felix at his local shrine. He took the initiative to build a road for pilgrims, as well as a hospice for the poor near the site of Felix's veneration.
But Paulinus grew dissatisfied with his civil position, leaving Campania and returning to his native region from 380 to 390. He also married a Spanish Catholic woman named Therasia. She, along with Bishop Delphinus of Bordeaux, and St. Martin the Bishop of Tours, guided him toward conver- sion.
Paulinus and his brother were baptized on the same day by Delphinus. But it was not long into his life as a Christian, that two shattering upheavals took place. Paulinus' infant son died shortly after birth; and when Paulinus' brother also died, he was accused in his murder.
After these catastrophes, Paulinus and Therasia mutually agreed to embrace monasticism, living in poverty and chastity. Around 390, they both moved to Spain. Approximately five years after his change of residence and lifestyle, the residents of Barcelona arranged for Paulinus' ordination as a priest.
During 395 he returned to the Italian city of Nola, where he and his wife both continued to live in chastity as monks. Paulinus made important contributions to the local church, particularly in the con- struction of basilicas. In 409, the monk was consecrated as the city's bishop.
Paulinus served as the Bishop of Nola for two decades. His gifts as a poet and composer of hymns were matched by his knowledge of Scripture, generosity toward the poor, and devotion to the saints who had preceded him – especially St. Felix, whose intercession he regarded as central to his con- version.
Praised by the likes of St. Augustine and St. Jerome for the depth of his conversion to Christ, the Bishop of Nola was regarded as a saint even before his death on the evening of June 22.
The Sisters of St. Dominic of Amityville Celebrate Irish Night
This year marks the 20th Anniversary of our Beauty of the Spirit Luncheon (BOSL). As we have all been living in a time of great uncertainty and stress, we thought it most appropriate to bring you a message of hope and healing.
Our 2021 BOSL virtual event will focus on the mind-body-spirit connection. Sisters, Associates and friends will share inter-active segments on tai chi, artful journaling, and other holistic healings with you.
Please join us virtually on Friday, June 25, 2021 as we gather together, uplift each other and renew ourselves in body, mind and spirit!
Please consider supporting our efforts by purchasing one or more of the following:
• An event ticket for $40, which includes one entry into our door prize raffle • Sweepstakes Raffle tickets. Tickets are $10 each, or 6 for $50. Extra tickets are available on our website or by contacting the Advancement Office at 631-842-6000 ext. 246
As many Congregations across the country were forced to close their buildings and work to find new ways to worship and conduct their ministries in the face of COVID-19, we know the need to enhance our digital and technological capacities to provide worship and other programs remotely.
Proceeds from the luncheon will assist enhancing internet services, video conferencing subscrip- tions, as well as investing in desktop and laptop computers, tablets, and smartphones to strength- en the creation and delivery of streaming worship, workshops, and other gatherings. We hope to continue presenting online gatherings or a combination of physical and online opportunities that will strengthen our offerings for years to come.
As always, thank you for your continued support of the Congregation. We hope you will join us on June 25th!
