Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:
everal weeks ago I spoke about steps being taken by the Church of
Long Island to address serious financial problems and the actions being
taken. In my words to you I spoke of the concerns most Pastors share:
1.
What is the role of the Pastor of the parish in the process of people
choosing the Voluntary Separation Package and in assuring the continuance
of vital ministries?
2.
What impact does the impending centralization of jobs and
services have on the Pastors running the ministries in the parish?
3.
What is the scope and nature of the new Diocesan evaluation tool
for all employees? Who does these evaluations?
Since then, the Pastors have gotten together with other Pastors in

ON BECOMING A CATHOLIC
Those who seek information about becoming a Catholic are invited
to undergo the RCIA (The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults.)
The RCIA is a process designed for adults who are non-baptized,
baptized in another Christian tradition, baptized Catholic but not
fully initiated by the reception of Confirmation and the Eucharist.

their local area (Deaneries) and developed ways to communicate their concerns to the Diocese.
The Bishop heard and responded to the Pastors in a positive and frank exchange. Many questions
were answered. Clarifications were made and new developments were put into place. Here are
some of the areas which were addressed:
1.
Role of the Pastor. The Pastor is the decision-maker for all who work for the parish.
However, all decisions must be made in the context of maintaining a balanced budget.
2.
The Bishop is requiring all parishes to work within a healthy, balanced budget. Monthly
statements of revenue and expenses are to be sent to the Diocese. All monies that parishes owe
for insurance, pensions, benefits and assessment must be paid through electronic banking procedures. As we make future
financial decisions, we need to be mindful that at present, the parish owes approximately $250,000. to the Diocese for back
assessments. Working within these legitimate guidelines, the Pastor, with the advice of his Finance Committee is in control
of all parish monies. This means everything cannot remain as it has been.
3.
In regard to the Voluntary Separation Packages, all eligible employees are free to choose whether or not to take the
package. The Pastor cannot deny their right to freely choose. However, the Pastor can discuss with them possible ways of
implementing the Separation Package to assure the continuation of vital ministries in the parish.
Those eligible for this package are now discerning their choice. I will meet with each and if the package is taken,
I will stagger their leaving so that this transition is smooth and provides for the least disruption in the parish. No matter
what their final decisions may be, I am so grateful for the love, expertise and fidelity to the parish that have marked all who
minister here.
For those employees accepting the Package, a date will be set to honor them in the near future to express our
gratitude for their generous giving of themselves to the parish of St. Frances de Chantal.
4.
The Diocesan evaluation tool for all employees has not been developed nor will it be implemented at this time.
5.
The restructuring of a central office of services to provide more efficiency in each Diocesan entity will be a more
gradual process. The Pastors, through their Deaneries, are to be involved in a proactive way to advise and help give shape
to further development.
Once again, I acknowledge and thank all for the significant increase we have seen weekly in Sunday collections.
You have, and continue to do your part. I now must do my part to insure that our expenses and revenues leave us with a
balanced budget.
I will continue to keep you updated as we go along this process.
Love,

Bishop Molloy Retreat House – Jamaica Estates
Woman’s Retreat – Saint Frances de Chantal & friends
Please join us for a wonderful retreat entitled,
“Baptized into the Priesthood of Christ”
In this Year of the Priest as we pray for all of our priests throughout the world, we should also
remember that each one of us was baptized into the Priesthood of Christ. We are part of the
Priesthood of the Laity and God calls us to rejoice in that! Relax as the retreat team helps you to
come to a deeper appreciation of God’s overwhelming love for you. I promise you that when you
step out of the doors of the retreat house and go back to your normal life you will feel loved,
strengthened, happy and peaceful. I urge you to give yourself this precious gift and consider
bringing a loved one along. A friend gave me a retreat weekend as a birthday gift this year! Why
not try it?
The retreat begins on Friday evening April 16th with dinner at 7pm and runs until Sunday April 18th at
noon (right after Mass). The suggested offering is $175.00 and includes all meals which are delicious
and prepared by a chef…NOT YOU! You will be staying in a cozy, private room. There will be
conferences, workshops, prayer services, Reconciliation, and Eucharistic celebrations. There are also
opportunities for private conference and for personal prayer, reflection, socializing and rest. You can
choose to attend all or some of these activities. A non-refundable deposit of $50.00 is required to
hold your room. If this poses any financial difficulty, please don’t let that detain you! Speak to me,
and we will arrange a free will offering. Rooms will fill VERY quickly on this weekend so PLEASE
send me your deposit along with the registration sheet below as soon as possible!
If you have any further questions, or to register for the weekend, please give me a call at
(516) 826-4772 or email me at [email protected] or fill out the form below.
God Bless You and I hope you can join us for this beautiful experience.

St Frances’ Young Vincentians
�����������������������������������
The Young Vincentian students have actively
assisted people in the local
community. They work in soup
kitchens, hold food and coat
drives,
assisted
at
the
Thanksgiving
Dinner,
held
Senior Citizen BBQ and Super
Bowl party, rang the bell for the
Salvation Army, visited sick
children in the hospital etc. The Bread and Soup
Dinner is our way of helping internationally where
the need is the greatest.
This year’s dinner is focused on the earthquake
victims in Haiti and the long term need to help
them. It is estimated that 250 thousand people died
as a result of the quake; millions have been
displaced and billions of dollars in damages have
been recorded.
The Youth Ministry Young Vincentians is the
Youth Group of the St. Vincent de Paul Society.
Our 12th Annual Bread and Soup dinner will be held
on ����������������������������������������We
hold this dinner to raise the community’s awareness
about World Hunger and collect funds to help
alleviate some of the pain and suffering that is
experienced by so many.
After the dinner, a Young Vincentian will
give a talk about hunger from a teen’s
perspective. Then the Young Vincentians
will present their original skit written for the
event.
The dinner is a free will offering; that is you
decide what is the “cost” of your meal. We
suggest that the cost be the amount you
would normally spend on Sunday Dinner.
It is said that a hero is someone who saves
another’s life. Won’t you be some child’s
hero? Please join us at the dinner. Simply
fill out the reservation form and drop it in
the collection basket or at the Parish Center.
If you can’t make it, please make a donation
(if by check, to St. Vincent de Paul) and
send it to St. Frances Parish Center. We
thank you for your support.
Dinner Reservation
Name______________________
The simplicity of the dinner is to recognize that so
many of our spiritual brothers and sisters do not
enjoy a meal we consider a sacrifice.
Number in Party ___________
Our group is blessed to have caring local merchants
who donate the soup and bread or provide items that
we raffle away. That way each dollar that we raise
at the dinner goes to helping the people of Haiti.
