Dear Friends:
Our annual Parish Dinner Dance last weekend was a great and happy success. Not only because it raised necessary
funds for Our Lady of Lourdes Parish, but also because it truly celebrated our community. People, young and older, all
came together to dance, to eat, to laugh, and to enjoy being part of our parish family. And while I love seeing people at
Mass, it's a nice and different experience to party with them.
No major event, like this Country Western Night happens without months and months of preparation. I am deeply grateful to so many great volunteers for their tireless efforts to make our night together a success.
On behalf of our entire parish I want to thank those most responsible. Let begin with our Chair Couple, Vincent and
Darlene DiCicco.
These are totally dedicated parishioners who give 110% to make the annual dinner dance a joyous and uplifting time. I
know that their work was sometimes frustrating, but they never gave up. Never gave less than their very best. The
worked cooperatively with an outstanding volunteer committee who outdid themselves. These good and generous souls
included: Jean Abela, Joseph and Alice Bonarrigo, Kathy Carlsen, Ken and Lisa Catalano, Joan Donovan, Elizabeth
Dorso, Joseph and Diane Esposito, Theresa Jennings, Maryanne and Kelly Kildare, Ann McCarthy, Vincent and Ellen
Ricciuti, Patricia and Jose Salmeron and Family, Carol Santoro, Ed and Maureen Tepper, and Camille Yorio.
Additional thanks must be paid to the members of our Parish Staff who worked with the Planning Committee to make it
all work out so well. I want to thank Parish Business Manager John Brosnan and Parish Secretary Carol Milton for their
immense help in making the dance a success.
Thanks as well to the Knights of Columbus at Our Lady of the Island Council # 6911 for their huge and active support.
The servers on the night of the dinner dance were volunteers from the Our Lady of Lourdes Altar Servers, The Our
Lady of Lourdes Teen Club, as well as students from Our Lady of Lourdes and St. Rose's Religious Education programs, and students from Farmingdale High School. These kids were outstanding: hard-working, polite, and a joy to
have with us.
If you were involved in any way, thank you!
And please keep in mind that we hope hat next year's event can be even bigger and better. It will held to celebrate three
important anniversaries in 2015:
-The 60th anniversary of the founding of Our Lady of Lourdes Parish
-The 30 anniversary of the building of our Parish Church.
-And the 50th anniversary of the ordination of our own much-loved Father Tony Heinlein.
Plan on being with us. It will be a night to remember.
Have a beautiful week.
In the Love of Christ,
Msgr. Jim Lisante
Pastor

As we look forward to and enjoy this beautiful Autumn

the help of our good and generous parishioners, along with
some wonderful organizations in our community, Outreach
will begin accepting your holiday donations in preparation
for Thanksgiving Food Baskets.
Please take a look at our annual Thanksgiving Flyer
posted in the bulletin for further details and listing of items
needed to prepare holiday food baskets. In these challenging times when we see many families in need, your kindness for the less fortunate in our community has always
been a great blessing, as together we can again provide the
gift of a Happy Thanksgiving to those who come to our
door. On behalf of all the families we serve, thank you for
your continued support.
Donations can be brought directly to Parish Outreach, or
for your convenience, items may be placed in the usual
baskets provided in the entrance of the church during
weekend masses.

WE NEED YOUR HELP
As Thanksgiving approaches, we ask all to be as generous as possible in contributing to our food
pantry. We will be making Thanksgiving Food Baskets for many needy families in our parish. We
will be assembling Baskets in the next coming weeks. Last year through your generosity, we were
able to provide Thanksgiving baskets to more than 200 families from our parish and the immediate surrounding area. We are anticipating a greater demand this Thanksgiving, as the past year
has seen a marked increase in families looking to us for assistance.
Below is a shopping list of items we will be using to make up the baskets. We will begin accepting
donations now through November 17th. May we ask you to inspect the expiration dates on intended donations? Please bring the items to the Food Pantry no later than Monday, Nov. 17th,
since we will be distributing Thanksgiving Baskets the week of Nov. 17th. Parish Outreach hours
are Monday - Thursday from 9am - 4pm.
Please feel free to donate any or all of the items on the list to complete a basket. Please do not
bring any perishable items including turkeys or hams at this early date, because we do not have
the facilities to store them. Kindly consider a Gift Card in lieu of a turkey. However if you
choose to donate a frozen turkey or ham, please bring them to the Outreach office only on the
days of November 18th, (Tues), November 19th, (Wed) and November 20th (Thurs), when we
will be distributing the Thanksgiving food baskets. Thank you for your continued kindness and
generosity to our neighbors in need.
Gift cards would be much appreciated as they provide for perishables items, as well as
the supermarket receipts for free turkeys.
This would be an excellent opportunity for Girl Scout Troops, Boy Scout Troops
and Confirmation Candidates as a Christian Service Project, to participate in this
much needed community effort.

THEOLOGY CLASS
7:30 - 9:00pm in the Church basement
A Mass of Remembrance will be held on
Sunday, November 2nd at the 12 noon Mass.
On this day we remember those who have
died within the past year.
Msgr. James P. Lisante
Celebrant
All Saints Day falls on Saturday, November 1, 2014. While All Saints Day is
normally a holy day of obligation, when
it falls on a Saturday or a Monday, that
obligation is abrogated in the United
States and some other countries. Therefore, Catholics in such countries do not
have to attend Mass on All Saints Day
in 2014.
For any of our parishioners who would
like to attend: Mass for the holy day will
be celebrated in the church. The Vigil
10/31 at 8:00 pm, the holy day 11/1 , 6:45
am & 8:30 am .
Abstracts of each class are given out, so you
can best follow the lectures
Phone the rectory for more information.
Next Class - Tuesday, Nov. 11th
Subjects:
1. Church History
2. Church Dogma
3. Apologetics
4. Scripture
Everyone Welcome!

Free of charge
November 2 is All Souls Day, the day on which the Roman Catholic Church commemorates all of those who have
died and are now in Purgatory, being cleansed of their venial sins and atoning before entering fully into Heaven. At
one time, Catholics flocked to their churches on All Souls
Day, to offer prayers in memory of their friends and loved
ones. These days, however, most All Souls Day Masses
are poorly attended.
Since praying for the dead is our Christian duty, it's sad to
see how little attention is paid to All Souls Day. That's especially true since there is a special plenary indulgence that
can be gained for the souls in Purgatory on All Souls Day. A
plenary indulgence removes all temporal punishment for
sin--and so, in effect, releases a soul from Purgatory.
All you have to do is visit a church, recite one Our Father
and the Creed, receive Communion, and pray one additional Our Father and one Hail Mary for the intentions of the
Holy Father.
The final requirement is that you take part in the Sacrament
of Confession, but you can do that up to seven days before
or afterward. Since most Catholic parishes offer Confession
on Saturday, you can go to Confession this Saturday or
next, and then fulfill the rest of the requirements on All
Souls Day itself.
The All Souls Day indulgence is a wonderful way to show
your love for a friend or family member who has died. In
less than an hour on All Souls Day, you can release a soul
from Purgatory. Why not gain the indulgence
for your loved one?

Spiritual Adoption Program
Seven Months
Your adopted unborn child is now 14 to 17 inches long and weighs about 2 ½ to 3 lbs. All vital organs have formed. All
further development is mainly in size. Beginning this month the baby uses four senses. His eyelids open and close and
the eyes look around. The baby can hear, taste, touch, cough, yawn and hiccup. He now recognizes his own mother’s
voice. His grip is even stronger now than it will be after his birth. The hair on his head is growing longer and the downy
covering on the rest of his body is disappearing. During this time the baby will receive antibodies from his mother providing him immunity to a wide variety of diseases.
Please remember to pray daily for your Spiritually Adopted Baby and the baby’s mother and father. During your earthly
life this spiritually adopted child of yours will be known only to God but in the world to come it is hoped that you will
meet the child whose life was spared by your prayers and spend eternal happiness with them.
“Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I love you very much. I beg you to spare the life of the unborn baby that I have
spiritually adopted who is in danger of abortion.” (Prayer of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen)
Adoration & Rosary for Life Program
The Diocesan Respect Life Office has asked us to unite in prayer and participate in this special program for life. During
the month of October, we are asked to spend time before the Blessed Sacrament and pray the Rosary for the conversion
of hearts and minds so that all might have reverence and respect for the God-given gift of life, from the moment of conception until natural death.
13th Annual Youth Respect Life Contest
The Diocesan Respect Life Office is conducting the 13th Annual Youth Respect Life Contest. Students in grades 7 or 8
may register for Level One, and students in Grades 9-12 may enter Level Two. The theme for this year's contest is
"Each of us is a Masterpiece of God's Creation." All students in the diocese, including those with special needs, are
encouraged to enter this contest. The contest gives young Catholic women and men the opportunity to show through
words, images and song, expressed in a way that is in harmony with our faith, how dear the gift of life is to them. Winners will receive monetary awards in support of their future education. Categories include: bookmark design, poetry,
essay, photography, music, video clip design and pin-it/photomontage board. For guidelines, entry forms and more information go to: www.drvc.org and click on Ministries, then Respect Life Office and scroll down and click on 2015
Respect Life Contest. The entry deadline is January 26, 2015.
Pro-lifers throughout Long Island are invited to take part in the national 40 Days for Life effort from September 24th
through November 2nd. In addition to 40 days of prayer and fasting for an end to abortion in America, please join the
prayer vigil outside of the Planned Parenthood abortion facility in Hempstead – 540 Fulton Avenue (Hempstead Tpke)
