St. John the Evangelist St. John the Evangelist St. St.John John theApril 4,the 2021 Evangelist Evangelist RomanRoman Catholic Catholic Church Church Inspired by our Patron, St. John the Evangelist Roman Catholic Church in Center Moriches seeks to bring the light of Christ to a world in need, so that as Christ has done, we may also do. From the celebration of the Eucharist, we are sent forth to serve God and neighbor through ministries of formation, education and outreach. —Mission Statement The Resurrection of the Lord April 4, 2021 “To him all the prophets bear witness, that everyone who believes in him St. John thewill Evangelist receive forgiveness ofwww.sjecm.org sins through his name. ” -Acts 10:43 Page 1 April 4, 2021 WHAT’S HAPPENING @ SJE St. John the Evangelist www.sjecm.org Page 2 April 4, 2021 FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK The Easter Turn Dear Parish Family: A family friend of mine recently failed his road test. He had worked hard and thought he was prepared. His instructor did and so did this family friend, the priest. The DMV had another opin- ion, in spite of my novenas and prayers. He did not pass, according to the test administrator, because of his left turns. I think about Mary Magadalene today. In both of the Gospels we use on Easter Sunday (Mark and John), Mary Magdalene is the first at the tomb and in both gospels she’s one of the last at the cross. In his book, O Death, Where is Thy Sting?, Brother Joe Hoover, S.J. writes (65): Mary Magdalene at the worst moment of her life—not only did they torture and kill her friend and savior, but now they have stolen his body. All she wants to know is where they have taken him. Can you please tell me, sir? For the love of God, couldn’t they leave well enough alone? After all they did to him, and it still wasn’t enough? And then she turns. She turns, and there, in front of her. Stay one minute longer, and the Lord will appear. We who have been at the cross in many ways over these weeks, months, years, and for most of us, a life time have a choice to make. We will make the turn. If not, today might just be a waste of our time. Let me explain. If we really celebrate these mysteries, if Easter is not a show or an appearance, then we have to try and turn. It’s a turn we make with confidence that Jesus is there. Admittedly at times I’m not sure I want to make the turn. For some of us, we’re just stuck. We’re in a rut, overwhelmed, exhausted, stressed, angry, and so on and so on. We can say, “For love of God” enough is enough. Yet, if we are an Easter people, we keep going. We accept setback and challenges. We come through adversities and struggles. Simply, we never give up. As I write this letter, there is a chance that if we don’t make some serious choices we may face another surge of people becoming infected (and being admitted to hospitals and dying) with COVID-19. As I read a variety of reports from a variety of sources, we do no need to hunker down, make some more sacrifices and keep going. How many of us will make the turn? Or will we stay in the places of “I’m done”, “I don’t care”, “It’s their fault”, “I want it my way”, “I’m not changing” and so on. What if Mary Magdalene stopped there? Frustrated it did not work out as she hoped. Disappointed in the disciples. Caught up in her self with no concern for others. Remaining in the blame game. Yet, she is willing to turn. In doing so, she encounters the Savior of the world. This is the work of the paschal mystery—of encountering Jesus’ dying and rising. We can stay at the tomb, in the death, in the despair. Or we can turn. Can we turn from anger and hate to hope? Can we turn from isolation to a willingness to become involved in caring for the lives of others? Can we turn from blame to honest self-examination? Can we turn from an attitude of “I can do it on my own” to “I need help”? Can we turn from self-preservation to a selflessness on behalf of the other? I hope I can make the turn. I hope you can too. For some, maybe the turn is returning to the life of the church, and particularly the parish here at SJE. As you look through this bulletin, I hope you will find many ways to turn to God in prayer, to learn more about our faith, to gather with this community of faith, to share your gifts with those in need and, yes, even to allow us to serve and minister to you. Our parish, and certainly it’s pastor is not perfect, but we are a community of faith try- ing our best to bring others closer to Christ and his Church. I hope you can consider making a turn here (not just on Ocean Avenue or off of Main Street) but with your heart. Know you are most welcome and wanted here. My friend take his next road test (today on this Tuesday of Holy Week). He’s made a lot of good life turns over the past few months. I hope he makes some good turns today on the road and his life in the years to come...I hope we do too! Please say a prayer for me! Happy Easter! St. John the Evangelist www.sjecm.org Page 3 April 4, 2021 HOLY WEEK 2021 GO FORTH! What we do at liturgy must inspire and transform how we live! Palm Sunday weekend is no exception. From the enormous amount of work to prepare for this day to the celebration of the liturgies and prayer (picture from the Rectory Chapel) to care for the poor and the vulnerable...we “go forth”! We have many reasons for gratitude—to our incredible Art and Environment Ministry, our school and parish maintenance staff setting up three locations for Mass, our sacristans and their families organizing liturgies in three places and two languages, our liturgical and music ministers, presiders, those who sponsored families and those who distributed nearly 50 Easter meals! If you’re visiting our church today, what about getting involved in the mission of the Catholic Church here at SJE? To get started, contact the Rectory at 631.878.0009 or email to [email protected] or visit our website. Go Forth—Part II...with new wheels! Thank you to God for working through an incredibly generous donor who provided the parish with the resources for our new Street Ministry van. Our existing van, donated to us by the Catholic Faith Network, has served us very well and will now go into partial retirement and assist our Street Ministry and maintenance staff. We blessed the van on Thursday, March 18, 2021. St. John the Evangelist www.sjecm.org Page 4 April 4, 2021 WHAT’S HAPPENING @ SJE DIVINE MERCY MASS and AFTERNOON OF PRAYER SUNDAY, April 11, 2021 12 Noon Mass – Bilingual with Solemn Bless- ing of the Image of Divine Mercy 1 -4 p.m. Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament in the Church (The Chaplet of the Divine Mercy will be prayed at 3 p.m. in the Church.) 4 p.m. Benediction The Divine Mercy Novena begins on Good Friday, April 2, 2021 and concludes Sunday, April 11, 2021 – the Second Sunday of Easter – the Sunday of Divine Mercy. This nove- na is another way for us to reach out – or better yet – allow Jesus to reach out to us with the hand of mercy and compassion. In her Diary, Jesus told St. Faustina, “I desire that during these nine days you bring souls to the fountain of My mercy, that from there they may draw strength and refreshment and whatever grace they need in the hardships of life, and especially at the hour of death” (Diary, 1209). While the Chaplet can be said anytime, the Lord specifically asked that it be recited as a novena, promising that “By this Novena (of Chaplets), I will grant every possible grace to souls” (Diary 796). Pamphlets are available as you leave the Church for those who are interested in praying the Divine Mercy Novena. Let us ask Christ for the gift of mercy. Let it engulf us and penetrate us. Let us have the courage to come back to Jesus to meet His love and mercy in the sacraments….let us feel His closeness and ten- derness, and then we will also be more capable of mercy, patience, forgiveness, and love.” Did you receive our Easter Mailing? If so, please consider supporting the ongoing work of SJE! Return your envelope or make your offering at www.sjecm.org. If you did not receive a mailing, please let us know. St. John the Evangelist www.sjecm.org Page 5 April 4, 2021 PRAYER AND WORSHIP Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults Retreat for the Elect On Saturday, March 27, 2021, the Elect of our parish gathered for a morning of prayer and reflection. The Rite of Christian Initiation encourages the Church to bring the Elect together for some time and prayer. Ideally, this would take place on Holy Saturday but because of the nature of this day in the parish, we celebrated this day at the beginning of Holy Week.

Directly opposite facing the congregation is the wall with the new painting of the Apostles. The journey of faith we all make begins with the teaching of the Apostles, leads us through Baptism, toward altar and the Apostles guiding us by pulpit and altar to Christ himself pictured so clearly on the three-fold front of the Tabernacle. The lively multi-experiences of all those on the journey are reflected in the multi-colors of the pillars. W e are all connected by Christ with whom we journey, He the vine, we the branches, uniting us in faith, hope, and love connected to the Apostles and one another. O ur newly redone interior, rededicated on June 16, 2013, was the result of a collaboration between our many parishioners, the Intelligent Design Group (architect), the artistic designs of New Guild Studios, and the management and supervision of many craftsmen and technicians by Landau Building Company. I n March 2014, the Landau Building Company, in a category with four other projects, won a first place award from the Master Builders Association in the area of “Excellence in Craftsmanship by a General Contractor” for their work on the renovations at St. Ursula. A fter the extensive renovation to the church, our parish community began asking questions about the Apostles on the Sanctuary wall and wishing to know who they were.

    St John the Evangelist, Poulton 27th April 2021 Fourth Tuesday of Easter “he was a good man, Fifty-seventh Tuesday of Isolation filled with the Holy Spirit Sign on at: [email protected] and with faith.” Parish Website: www.stjohnspoulton.org.uk Mass during the week: Saturday – 6.00pm St John’s Tuesday - 9.30am St John’s Wednesday - 9.30am St Martin’s Thursday - 9.30am St John’s Friday – 9.30am St John’s Saturday – 6.00pm St John’s (Daily Scripture is available from www.universalis.com) Acts 11:19-26 Those who had escaped during the persecution that happened because of Stephen travelled as far as Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, but they usually proclaimed the message only to Jews. Some of them, however, who came from Cyprus and Cyrene, went to Antioch where they started preaching to the Greeks, proclaiming the Good News of the Lord Jesus to them as well. The Lord helped them, and a great number believed and were converted to the Lord. The church in Jerusalem heard about this and they sent Barnabas to Antioch. There he could see for himself that God had given grace, and this pleased him, and he urged them all to remain faithful to the Lord with heartfelt devotion; for he was a good man, filled with the Holy Spirit and with faith. And a large number of people were won over to the Lord. Barnabas then left for Tarsus to look for Saul, and when he found him he brought him to Antioch. As things turned out they were to live together in that church a whole year, instructing a large number of people.

  • The Stained-Glass Stories of the Chapel of St. Peter and St. Paul an Independent Study Project by Aidan Tait ’04
    A Hundred-Year Narrative: The Stained-Glass Stories of the Chapel of St. Peter and St. Paul an Independent Study Project by Aidan Tait ’04 We are so fortunate to visit daily a place as sacred as this. -Rev. Kelly H. Clark, Ninth Rector of St. Paul’s School The Chapel of St. Peter and St. Paul became the focal point of the campus upon its construction and consecration in 1888. Today the Chapel Tower pales only in comparison to the School’s power plant; its hourly bells can be heard from all over the campus. Both figuratively and literally, the building cannot be overlooked in the discussion of School history. And as St. Paul’s prepares to celebrate its 150th anniversary during the 2005-2006 academic year, the Chapel of St. Peter and St. Paul remains of utmost importance in the minds of alumni, faculty, and students alike. Each year the Rector receives new students to the School by welcoming into their Chapel seats; departing seniors use their last day in Chapel to sit in the very seats they occupied as new students. Indeed, the Chapel has a sort of aura about it—of both personal and School history—that makes it meaningful and unforgettable in the minds of those who live here. While taking photographs of the Chapel one Thursday during Spring Term, I met a man from Boston who commuted daily through the area and had decided that afternoon to tour the Big Chapel. He came up to me, his eyes wide with the experience of taking in the building for the first time.
