Gathering for a mass denouncement of recent racist graffiti, more than 100 Sea Cliff community members met Monday at a church that had been the target of what Mayor Bruce Kennedy called “anti-social behavior.”
Rabbi Irwin Huberman of Congregation Tifereth Israel in Glen Cove emphasized commonalities among audience members, whatever their faiths, and said that hateful symbols cannot be taken lightly.
“The swastika can never, never be used — even in jest,” he said.
In recent weeks, swastikas have been found drawn on homes, mailboxes, a boat and playground equipment in Sea Cliff. Similar graffiti has been reported in Brooklyn, Queens and New Jersey.
Nassau police said Monday that no arrests have been made over the graffiti in Sea Cliff.
The village has increased patrols of the area, Nassau Legis. Delia DeRiggi-Whitton (D-Glen Cove) said.
Area leaders want to ensure that “no one in our community lives in any type of fear or hatred,” she said.
Sea Cliff resident Larry Weinberger, 59, said the incidents should serve as teachable moments.
“Education is the most important thing for our children and our children’s children,” Weinberger said. “Hopefully, in future generations, there will be no hatred and animosity toward others. . . . God willing, the world will be a better place.”
Felicia Lebou, 42, of Sea Cliff, who has a 3-year-old son, suggested parents teach their children about other cultures and religions from an early age to celebrate diversity. Many who attended the forum brought their children.
Assemb. Charles Lavine (D-Glen Cove) called the vandalism “simply un-American.”
“We will not tolerate it, if we stand together as one community,” he said.
Swastikas, the words “white knights” and “anything and everything that could possibly outrage a community” were scrawled on St. Boniface Martyr Church late last month, Kennedy said. The site Monday hosted a forum where residents shared suggestions about ways to curb hate.
“Prejudice is not a prank and we will not tolerate this behavior in our village,” Kennedy said, adding that he believed the vandals to be mischievous, ignorant teenagers rather than “neo-Nazis.”

Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults and Children (RCIA)
June 3, 2011 by Leave a Comment
Searching for something?
At different times we ask questions about what life is all about. Where is God in my life? Sometimes they feel a nudge or a push or that something is missing and want to find out more. If you know anyone who is not a Catholic, but who would like to ask more questions about our faith, they can meet with someone from our parish R.C.I.A. Team.
Please call Fr. Bob at 676-0676 , or send email to stbonpastor@gmail.com.
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults and Children (commonly known as the R.C.I.A.) is the normal way in which adults and children become full, active, participating members of the Catholic Church. Special rites are celebrated during the Sunday liturgies at various times throughout the year. The R.C.I.A. involves the whole parish-in prayer as the rites are celebrated, in hospitality, as new members are welcomed, and in specific ministries such as sponsor and team member.
The R.C.I.A. is not merely a new way to prepare adults and children for baptism; baptism is only one step. The goal of the process is full communion which means “full, conscious, and active participation”* in the Eucharist and in the whole life of the Catholic faith community.
The R.C.I.A. helps adults and children to grow in their relationship with God become familiar with Catholic teachings and practices, get acquainted with people in the parish, and get involved in service within the parish or the wider community.
Many persons who want to join the Catholic Church have already been baptized in another Christian Church. They will not be rebaptized. They will follow steps adapted to the particular needs and concerns of Christians from another faith tradition. Explore those steps on the next page.
