SEPTEMBER 30, 2018 Our Lady of Lourdes Parish

A Letter from the Pastor’s Desk…

Dear Friends:

In another part of this bulletin, you'll find a letter from Parish Outreach Director Corinne

Lok. Corinne gives us an update of her health and progress in her battle with cancer. I

know she is deeply grateful for the outpouring of support, love and prayers she has re-

ceived since being diagnosed. Corinne has been a true gift to our parish and we hope for only good health for

her future.

I want to also thank our staff and volunteer parishioners for the wonderful job they've done in keeping things

going strong at the Outreach Office. In the absence of Corinne, they have made sure that the needful are still

cared for and assisted. I am so grateful for their goodness.

And while I'm offering thanks, let me also express congratulations to parishioner Sue Bouffier. She recently

received a letter from Bishop Barres announcing that she is the 2018 recipient of the diocesan St. Agnes Medal

of Service. Each year the diocese selects one person in each parish to celebrate and thank for their dedicated

service to the parish. Sue Bouffier, at many levels of service, has shown amazing devotion to the spiritual wel-

fare of Our Lady of Lourdes Parish through the years.

On Sunday, October 28th, Sue will be presented with her St. Agnes Medal by Bishop John O. Barres at St.

Agnes Cathedral. On behalf of a grateful parish, I want to congratulate and thank Sue Bouffier for all she has

done for our parish family.

As you'll remember, several years ago we undertook a major Capital Campaign to make improvements in our

parish. Most recently, those funds have been used to give the Church a much-needed paint job. This, along

with many other improvements, would not have been possible without your kindness and generosity. I know,

as I come close to fulfilling my own three year pledge to the Capital Campaign, that most of the collection of

funds is winding down. So I ask that those who have finished their pledges to the Capital Campaign consider

trying to gently raise their weekly donations to Our Lady of Lourdes Parish.

As you can see, our weekly collections usually run between 13,000 and 14,000 dollars. That's a great blessing

but difficult to run a parish of this size unless we can increase that amount by a few thousand dollars.

Recently, our counters were shocked when our collections rose by 8000 dollars one weekend! I wish I could

say that was because of generalized increased offertory collections. But the truth is it came from one man who

wanted to express his personal gratitude to God and our community for blessings he had received.

Let's all try (myself included) to see if we can all give a little more in the weekly collection. And if you're do-

ing the best you can, thank you. But if you can do slightly more, that would be a special grace and blessing to

the parish we love.

Thanks for your consideration.

In the love of Christ,

Msgr. Jim Lisante

Our Lady of Lourdes Parish SEPTEMBER 30, 2018

Dear Friends,

I want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for all your love, prayers, encouragement and countless notes and cards.

Though it has been a challenging time for me, I believe I have been fortunate and have much to be grateful for.

Through successful surgery and chemotherapy treatments, I am now in remission and taking part in a focused clinical trial over the course of two years, of which its purpose is to hopefully prevent reoccurrence.

I am taking care of myself, feeling good, getting my energy back, contemplating the future and following Doctor’s orders.

Please know that your continuous prayers and kindnesses have meant so much to me, and no doubt has carried me to this point.

I think of all of you often, and will see you around the Parish. With Love and Gratitude, Corinne Lok

Boys and Girls

in Grades 4 through 12 are invited to serve God

and the Our Lady of Lourdes Parish Community

by becoming Altar Servers

Altar Serving is responding to God’s call to serve at his table by assisting the Priest at Mass. It is a special privilege that allows you to be close to the altar, to carry the cross, to carry the light of Christ, to wear the robe of baptism, to hold the book of our Catholic prayers, and assist in any other way that is needed.

Altar Serving instills the value of regular church attendance and worshipping together with your family as part of the parish community. It builds faith and character, and it promotes responsibility, commitment, leadership, and teamwork.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please fill out and return to the Our Lady of Lourdes Religious Education Office or Rectory. You will be contacted shortly with information on training sessions.

All donations are greatly appreciated! Thank you for all you to help those in need.

Parish Outreach hours are: Tuesday / Thursday, 10:00am to 2:00pm, Wednesday, 10:00am to 11:30am.

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 13th, (Tues), November 14th, (Wed) and November 15th (Thurs), when we will be distributing the Thanksgiving food baskets. Thank you for your continued kindness and generosity to our neighbors in need.

ROSARY AND ADORATION FOR LIFE: Please consider spending time before the Blessed Sacrament to pray the Ro-

sary 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. Please pray for an end to violence in all its forms.

SPIRITUAL ADOPTION: Make a personal commitment to pray daily for one unborn child who is in danger of being

aborted. You are asked to ‘spiritually adopt’ one unknown baby and pray that this child be carried to term and experience

the fullness of life as God intended. Daily prayer: "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.” (Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen)

HOPE AND HEALING AFTER ABORTION: The Sisters of Life host monthly Days of Prayer & Healing, Gatherings,

and Hope & Healing Weekend Retreats. They include witnesses of mercy, Scripture sharing, personal prayer, opportunity

for Sacramental Confession, and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Call 866-575-0075 or email: hopeandheal-

[email protected]

VISIBILITY MATTERS: Weekly prayerful presence at Planned Parenthood, Massapequa - Saturdays 10:30am-12pm,

35 Carmans Rd, Massapequa (across from the mall parking lot). For info: 516-541-8056.

FDA CONTRACT UPDATE: Steven Ertelt at LifeNews.com reported on September 25th that the administration has can-

celed the FDA’s contract with Advanced Bioscience Resources, a company that buys and sells aborted baby parts from

Planned Parenthood and other abortion businesses. The Health and Human Services department announced on September

24th that it canceled the contract with the company because it didn’t include “appropriate protections” for fetal tissue pro-

curement. In a statement the agency said it has “initiated a comprehensive review of all research involving fetal tissue to

ensure consistency with statutes and regulations governing such research.” Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the Susan

B. Anthony List said, “Canceling a single contract and conducting a review is a small step forward, but overall is com-

pletely inadequate.” Ertelt wrote, “More protections are needed to ensure the FDA and HHS do not sign other agreements

to purchase aborted baby parts in the future. The HHS appears to be moving in that direction. It is conducting an audit of

all acquisitions involving human fetal tissue to “ensure conformity with procurement and human fetal tissue laws and

regulations.” The agency will also continue reviewing alternatives to human fetal tissue in HHS funded research and “will

ensure that efforts to develop such alternatives are funded and accelerated.””

ABORTION INDUSTRY’S NEXT FRONTIER: Chuck Donovan, President of the Charlotte Lozier Institute warns, “As

traditional abortion facilities around the country shutter their doors, advocates have sought to move abortion into homes,

dormitories, and other more ‘convenient’ spaces, through self-abortion using powerful drugs such as Mifeprex. Chemical

abortions are on the rise and now constitute 30-40% of all abortions in the US.”
