VISION STATEMENT
WE, the parish of Our Lady of Victory, proclaim with joy the presence of Jesus in the world through
Word, Sacrament, and deed. It is through our discipleship that we recognize our connection to God,
our neighbor, and our deepest spiritual selves.
WE, seek to live out the Gospel of Jesus Christ by:
+ Welcoming all with kindness, compassion and hospitality. + Nourishing the faith life of the
community through prayer, fellowship and education. + Reverencing the dignity of each person by
celebrating the beauty of life from conception to natural death. + Nurturing the gifts of all so that
each person may live out his or her unique and personal call from God. + Caring for the needs of
the less fortunate by empowering our parish community to answer that call.
WE, do this in the name of Jesus Christ and the mandate:
“See those Christians how they love one another!”

Dear Parishioners,
These are Bishop Murphy’s words regarding
our Commitment to Peace:
“The challenge of peace in today’s world is
multifaceted. Violence, terrorism, ethnic and religious battles are going on all over the globe but
especially in the Middle East and in Africa. It is
easy to get angry and even vengeful. But, as
priests and disciples of Christ, we lead our people by word and example. And the Lord teaches
us, Blessed are the peacemakers.
The Holy Father constantly calls us to be
peacemakers. To all who will listen, he urges us
to reach out and protect the suffering, the homeless, the victims, including our Christian brothers and sisters so often the targets of violence
and murder, along with other ethnic and religious minorities. The drama of war and its many
side effects has become a daily occurrence and
there seems to be no true end in sight. We will be
living with violence and threats of violence for a
long time. What are we then to do? We cannot
resign ourselves to indifference or silence. We
are responsible for the good of others, especially
the suffering and the innocent.” (to be continued)
The Bishop then goes on to call the people of
the Diocese to make a “Commitment to Peace”
by the power of prayer. Here are some of the
ways we as a parish community can respond to
the Bishop’s call:
1) Sunday, May 17th 2 pm - The Rosary Altar
Society and the Knights of Columbus will
lead a Rosary-Marathon of prayer. All twenty
mysteries of the Rosary will be prayed in
OLV Church. Join us for all or any part of
this marathon of prayer for peace!
2) Monday, May 25th 8:30 am - Mass for Peace
Join us on Memorial Day to pray for Peace
and then head out and enjoy the Floral Park
Memorial Day Parade!
3) Friday, May 29th 7:30 pm - The OLV Youth
Group will lead a Holy Hour for Peace. All
are welcome!
4) Friday, June 5th -7:00 pm - First Friday Holy
Hour will be dedicated to prayers for peace.
Mother’s Day
Happy Mother’s Day! A mother’s love reveals the unconditional love of God better than
any other human experience of love - and for that
we should all be grateful!
Special prayers for our deceased mothers and
grandmothers and for mothers who have experienced the death of a son or daughter.
Ascension Thursday
Thursday of this week, May 14th is Ascension
Thursday, a holyday of obligation. The Mass
schedule is Wednesday at 5:15 pm; and Thursday
at 8:30 am, 12 noon and 7:00 pm.
Blue Mass - Sunday, June 21st 9am
Our Lady of Victory Parish and the Floral Park
Knights of Columbus Council will sponsor a
Blue Mass - a Mass in honor of law enforcement
personnel, fire fighters, EMTs, rescue workers
and all first responders. The Mass will be held on
Father’s Day, June 21st at 9 am. We are hoping
that parishioners who do this heroic work will
join us in uniform for the Mass. More information will be available as the plans continue.
The tragic death of NYPD officer, Brian
Moore, reminds us of the constant need to support those who protect and serve us. Mass is our
best way to do that!
Ordination Anniversary
This Monday, May 11th, I will celebrate a
Mass of Thanksgiving at 9:15 am with the children of OLV School on the occasion of the 30th
Anniversary of my Ordination to the Priesthood.
All are welcome to join us.
I give thanks to Almighty God for the gift and
the grace of being a priest for 30 years. It has
been a time of many blessings for which I am
grateful. Serving God and serving His people in
the Church is an extremely fulfilling and meaningful way to live. I would encourage young men
to consider if God is calling them to the same
way of life - it’s a call you don’t want to miss!
Praised be the name of Jesus Christ
now and forever!
Fr. Tom
Growing up in Florida, I often heard comments from friends and
family living up North about how beautiful the transitions of the
changing seasons were. Still, I was content in my subtropical
paradise and shrugged off any idea that I could be missing out on
anything important. Yet having recently experienced (and survived) my first northern winter, I’ve learned valuable lessons about
shifting from the dark of winter to the welcoming glow of spring.
Like winter creeping in, our thoughts may sometimes become
dark and somewhat jaded as we attempt to build a culture that
welcomes and respects human life. But spring brings a promise of
new hope and new life. It is a season of renewal and a chance to
clear our minds of negative thoughts and ponder our lives and
whether we are sowing good seeds through simple acts of generosity and mercy. This is helpful to contemplate as we journey
through the Easter season, having renewed our baptismal promises – and thus our commitment to follow Jesus – at Easter. As
followers of Christ, we are called to build his Kingdom here on
earth—a Kingdom in which every person is cherished and every
human life respected and protected. And although we trust in the
ultimate victory of Christ over sin and death, our task is not easy.
We may become discouraged with the advances of the “culture of
death,” especially when media outlets inaccurately portray our
intentions, motivations, and efforts. We may feel as though we
need to constantly be on the defense. But what if we try a new
approach? Instead of being reactive, let’s take a proactive approach. When we encounter others, let’s share a positive message of joy and love. After all, as Pope Francis frequently reminds
us, pro-life is pro-love. As he said in his Christmas message last
December, abortion destroys children “before they ever see the
light of day, deprived of the generous love of their parents and
buried in the selfishness of a culture that does not love life.”
Now that the cold has passed, I am spending more time outside
appreciating the beauty that this time of year brings. I am filled
with the joy of renewal, both interior and exterior. We should apply
this joy to our endeavors to build up the Kingdom of God – a kingdom of life. Although it might seem like we are fighting an uphill
battle, our side will eventually prevail, and we can celebrate the
fact that our efforts are not in vain.
In the meantime, we must lift up in prayer each other, our Church
leaders, and others who work to protect all human life. This new
season is a perfect opportunity to create a new course of action
and to commit (or re-commit) to promoting respect for life at all
stages, in and out of season. If you haven’t visited the website for
the U.S. bishops’ Secretariat of Pro-Life Activities lately, there are
many resources, such as educational articles, videos, and prayers
that we hope you will find useful as you seek to spring into action
to support life!
Mary Prentis is Staff Assistant for the Secretariat of Pro-Life Activities, U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. For more information on the bishops’ pro-life activities, please visit www.usccb.org/

Happy
Mother’s
Day
Loving God,
We thank you for the love of
the mothers you have given
us, whose love is so precious
that it can never be
measured, whose patience
seems to have no end.
May we see your loving
hand behind them and
guiding them. We pray for
those mothers who fear they
will run out of time,
or patience. We ask you to
bless them with your own
special love.
We ask this in the name of
Jesus, your son.
Amen

Dear OLV Parishioners,
“Never be afraid of loving the Blessed Virgin too much.
You can never love her more than Jesus did.”
- Saint Maximilian Kolbe
I would like to wish all the mothers in the parish,
which is so beautifully named in honor of the
Blessed Virgin, a very Happy Mothers’ Day! And
to all of the mothers in our school family, please be
assured our teachers are dedicated to continuing the
commitment made by you, their very first teachers,
to always keep the environment of learning
grounded in faith! We are all so grateful for the
roles mothers play in our lives. Have a great day!

Catholic education for their children.
Sincerely,
Peg Augello

in our world but also in our hearts.

As we join together to celebrate all the wonderful Mom’s in our lives, let’s also
take time to remember and pray for all the thousands of Moms who worry about
how they are going to put food on the table for their children this week.
More than 35% of the 300,000 people on Long Island who receive emergency food
each year are children under the age of 18.
Please consider supporting the work of the Catholic Ministries Appeal so that we
can continue to care for God’s children and their families through our
Parish Outreach programs and Catholic Charities.
Our hope is that each family will make a gift. We cannot ask everyone to consider the same
size gift, but after prayer and reflection, each family is invited to make a gift in response to
God’s generosity in their lives.
No gift is too small and all gifts make a difference in the lives of others!
