FROM OUR PASTOR
Dear Parishioners,
I would like to once again bless the homes of
parishioners through the end of January 2015. I would
like to get to know all of our parishioners so if I have not
blessed your home in the past, hopefully I will be able to
this year. If I have previously blessed your home, I would
be honored to return this year.
If you would like to have your home blessed by
me, please fill out the form below and return to the
rectory or give to me after mass by January 31, 2015, or
you can email your name, address and telephone number
to olpchurch@optonline.net. I will then contact you to
schedule the blessing. Additional forms are available in
the back of the church.
Sincerely Yours in Christ,
Father Janusz Lipski

2015 CATHOLIC MINISTRIES APPEAL
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:
What blessings you bring to our Church
when you share your Catholic faith as you Serve
God by Serving Others. Your support of the
Catholic Ministries Appeal touches so many of our
neighbors in need, and we are so grateful for your
important participation.
As we begin the 2015 Appeal, I am reminded
of Pope Francis’ call that “amid so much darkness,
we need to see the light of hope and to be men and
women who bring hope to others.” When we come
together to help support these critical ministries, that
is what we are doing – we are dispelling that
darkness and bringing hope and love to more than
600,000 people every year.
You are helping to feed the hungry, provide
clothes and emergency support to the needy,
strengthen parishes throughout our Diocese, help
form our future priests and deacons and provide
funding for Catholic Charities’ outstanding programs
and services. You are also helping to ensure that our
ministries bring Christ’s light to hundreds of
thousands of people in hospitals, colleges and even
our jails.
We hope that you will once again join with
me, your Pastor and many of your neighbors by
making a gift to the 2015 Catholic Ministries
Appeal, and if possible increasing your already
generous gift in an effort to help spread the “light of
hope” to even more people in need.
With prayers and gratitude, I am
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Bishop of Rockville Centre
