2 PASTOR S PAGE Holy Spirit Parking! Some parishioners have politely asked what is happening with our parking lot since they have noticed the No Parking Signs. It is a fair question and deserves a response. Since I have been here for three years now, too many inappropriate things have been happening in our parking lots, and I presume they have been happening for many years. What sort of things, you ask? Drug deals. Teenagers hanging out (in cars, bikes, etc). Cars flying through the parking lot looking to beat the red light on the corner of Covert and 1 st Ave (this can kill someone). Inconsiderate people throwing things out the window and littering (fast food, Soda and beer cans, and many other things). You think they would be more considerate, especially since they were getting free parking. And lastly, at least from what I have witnessed, the snow in the parking lot cannot be sufficiently plowed and therefore leaves a mess, even though we pay over $40,000 a year in plowing. So, the next question is, how will this affect our parking for Sunday Mass? The answer is: it is our hope to keep parking lots open for all Sunday Masses, Funeral Masses, Weddings and any parish special events. If there are cars in the lot 30 minutes after the aforementioned Masses, the cars will be towed or locked in. I do not have all the answers, but this is the best I can do for the time being. I hope you understand. More Festival Thank You s Last week when I acknowledged and thanked our many parish volunteers who gave so graciously of their time for our festival, I did forget to mention a couple. The New Hyde Park Fire Department, and their EMT, was here for us throughout the entire festival. Although, thank God, they were not needed, their presence was felt and appreciated. We are blessed with an outstanding Fire Department! We also had three photographers: May O Boyle Deegan is our web site photographer; Santo Cipolla is a parishioner, and a semipro photographer; and Steven Joseph is an Altar Server, and a teenage photographer. We are grateful to all three. Their pictures will be used and appreciated for many years. Parish Bulletin I hope you are enjoying the parish bulletin. Thanks to Carolyn Mueller and some of our young parishioners, we have made many changes during the past couple of years. For the next two months until September we will have a more scaled down version of the bulletin. We will have fewer pictures and my page will not be as consistent. This being said, my summer vacation this year will be somewhat scattered because I can only take off when I have priest coverage. For this reason, you may not see me every Sunday and I will not be as available for appointments. My response to s and voice mails will be delayed. Monsignor Dreasen will be covering for me as much as possible. However, since he is retired, his schedule will not be as active as mine. Please understand. He loves to be here. Please welcome him. I thank each of you for all you do for the parish. May God continue to bless us! Peace and God Bless, Fr. Grieco -2-

3 DEACON LACHLAN Following on from last week s story of St James Cathedral in Brooklyn, below is a timeline of the history of the Cathedral Basilica. Founded in 1822, St. James was the first Catholic Church on Long Island and thus the cradle of Catholic Christianity for two dioceses and 388 parishes. March, 1, Peter Turner, foremost founder of St. James and President of the Roman Catholic Society, gathered together with 70 lay persons to buy property for a church. July 25, On the feast of St. James the Greater, Bishop Connolly laid the cornerstone of the first church in Brooklyn. It was the third church in New York City and the sixth Roman Catholic Church in New York State The site of the first Catholic Cemetery on Long Island is established at St. James. From there were 7,000 burials of clergy and laity. Today, this beautiful country cemetery is still preserved and revered as an urban oasis for prayer and reflection. November 9, John Loughlin is installed as the first Bishop of Brooklyn at St. James Cathedral. May 2, Most Reverend Charles E. McDonnell was installed at St. James Cathedral as the second Bishop of Brooklyn in the presence of Archbishop Corrigan of New York and Bishop Francis Chatard of Indianapolis who had ordained McDonnell to the priesthood in Rome. February 15, Most Reverend Thomas Edmund Molloy was installed as the third Bishop of Brooklyn at St. James Cathedral by Archbishop Patrick J. Hayes of New York. June 13, Most Reverend Bryan J. McEntegart installed as the fourth Bishop of Brooklyn. September 12, Most Reverend Francis J. Mugavero was installed as the fifth Bishop of Brooklyn. October 3, On his first visit to the United States as Pope, His Holiness John Paul II stopped and walked among the faithful assembled in front of St. James Cathedral, blessing those who had gathered to greet him. May 6, On this date during the 160th anniversary year of its founding, an Official Decree designating St. James Cathedral a basilica was issued by Rome. Henceforth the Diocesan Church of Brooklyn and Queens will be titled, The Cathedral-Basilica of St. James. April 16, Bishop Thomas V. Daily installed as sixth Bishop of Brooklyn. November 9, Installation of the basilica symbols - the Tintinnabulum and Ombrellino - on the fifteenth anniversary of its elevation to the rank of minor basilica. On this occasion Bishop Daily chooses the motto, Infinem Dilexit Eos (He loved them to the end. Jn. 13) June 14, The 175th Anniversary of the Parish of St. James observed at a Solemn Mass celebrated by Bishop Daily. September 29, The first pastoral visit of then Bishop Designate Nicholas DiMarzio to celebrate Vespers. (Thanks to Diocese of Brooklyn Archives for the timeline) Some might ask what does it mean when a church is designated a basilica? It is an honor granted by a pope to a particular church or cathedral. It has nothing to do with the perceived importance of, or the size of the building. Many smaller churches have been designated as a basilica, so it s not only cathedrals which receive the honor. The basilica symbols are the Tintinnabulum and the Ombrellino. A Tintinnabulum is a bell mounted on a pole, placed in a Basilica to signify the church s link with the Pope. It consists of a small golden bell within a golden frame crowned with the Papal Tiara and the Keys of Heaven. If the Pope was to say Mass within the Basilica, the Tintinnabulum would be used to lead the procession down the aisle, with the bell being rung to signal that the Pope was coming. It is always displayed in the sanctuary. The Ombrellino is an elaborately decorated umbrella which is also displayed in the sanctuary, and is kept half open as a sign that it is ready to shelter the Pope should he arrive. This is just a little snippet of our rich Roman Catholic history in the United States. More to follow. May Almighty God bless us, protect us from all evil, and lead us into everlasting life. Amen -3-
