Parish Pilgrimage to Poland
We are planning a Parish Pilgrimage to Poland in the late Summer or early Fall of 2027. We have gotten enough interest to continue with the plans! The trip would include a visit to Lublin to see Fr. Janusz Lipski, who will be celebrating his 60th anniversary of Priesthood in October 2027, as well as Fr. Chris Kaucha, OLP’s summer visiting priest. We would visit several other historic places as well. Fr. Janusz has agreed to be our tour guide!
If you are interested in joining us on this trip, please call or email the rectory office.
FEAST DAY FOR BLESSED JOHN PAUL II
This Thursday, October 22nd is the Feast Day for Saint Pope John Paul II.
Prayer to St. John Paul II
Oh, St. John Paul, from the window of heaven, grant us your blessing!
Bless the church that you loved and served and guided, courageously leading it along the paths of the world in order to bring Jesus to everyone and everyone to Jesus.
Bless the young, who were your great passion. Help them dream again, help them look up high again to find the light that illuminates the paths of life here on earth.
May you bless families, bless each family! You warned of Satan's assault against this precious and indispensable divine spark that God lit on earth. St. John Paul, with your prayer, may you protect the family and every life that blossoms from the family.
Pray for the whole world, which is still marked by tensions, wars and injustice. You tackled war by invoking dialogue and planting the seeds of love: pray for us so that we may be tireless sowers of peace.
Oh St. John Paul, from heaven's window, where we see you next to Mary, send God's blessing down upon us all. Amen.

2026 CATHOLIC MINISTRIES APPEAL
The 2026 Catholic Ministries Appeal is underway. Because of you and your gifts to the CMA, we can touch the lives of so many people in our community. Gifts to the Catholic Ministries Appeal assist seminarians and those in the diaconate program with their education costs. The CMA also funds various youth and young adult programs across our Diocese, including campus ministry programs at Long Island colleges. Catholic Charities of Long Island receives funding from the CMA as well so that they can help the community in need, such as seniors, veterans, and the families who are struggling. Whatever your plans are for the upcoming Lenten season, please also consider adding a gift to the CMA as a part of your almsgiving. This important appeal helps so many people across Long Island. We cannot do this work without you!
Please also remember, 100% of every dollar raised is restricted to fund the objectives, programs, and mission supported by the Catholic Ministries Appeal.
Finally, if you are unable to make a gift at this time due to circumstances in your life, please reach out at any time, so that we may help you in any way that we can. You are never alone, and your church community is always here to support you.
