attended Saint Dominic's.
Mass at your church has now
become a tradition En our family as a
splendid Way to thank the Lord for our
happy trip and to ask for a safe return
We also remember with great reverence his slow walk down the aisle to distribute communion after his stroke. We
keep the visitor's cross given to us by one
of the deacons as a treasured keepsake
home. Our visits to Saint Dominic's
often add to our happy vacation memories.
The church itself is a delightful
from a wonderful parish.
And this year, we add the funny
memfy from your sermon. In the
gospel, Jesus asked, UWho do you say
memory: the carved wooden Stations of
the Cross, the stained glass windows
depicting the Mysteries of the Rosary,
and the magnificent organ.
that I am?" In listing some embarrassing
questions we are asked from time to
time, you asked, "Are you sleeping?" and
a little voice from the congregation
The clergy sets a fine example to
everyone in attendanbe: the sermons are
thought-provoking and interesting and
the happiness thatshines forth from your
faces surely makes you a beacon for
God's love.
I was once told that if little children
run to you, you are living life as you
answered, "No, Father." Saint Dominic's is a very special
parish, and we feel fortunate that we can
share that special something, even if it is
only once a year. Please share these
thoughts with your fellow clergy, your
parishioners, and your bishop and accept
the thanks ofa grateful family.

Our Christian faith offers us a lifegiving perspective on all we do between
our births and deaths. It would have us
realize that God is in charge, that God is
Ubigger" than we are both in understanding and in purpose, and that God has
chosen to love us and to claim us as being
responsible to God. Perspective...
This means our goal should not be to
be happy (frequent answer of modernday Americans) as much as it should be to
be faithful. Such a shift in goals would
surely cause our living to be better for
ourselves
(less
selfishness,
fewer
divorces, less depression) and for others
need more.
Jesus Christ would offer us a petspective: God made you; God loves you;
God is with you; God asks you in live
your life loving him and loving other
people. In the end, only this will matter.
All else will fall away (suggestion: read
Matthew, chapta 6).
Grasp happiness foryourselfand you
will be disappointed. Seek to be faithful
to God and your life will become a purpose-full journey. Perspective..May God
grant us hearts to understand and commit ourselves to what is important

Psychologists tell us that there
are two important. and related factors.
m coping with personal loss. One is
the encouragement and facilitAtion of
the normal mourning process. The
other is the prevention of delayed
and/or distorted grief responses
Though ,hcre is no definitive scientific stud> which proves this. there
is evely indication that the funeral
service Is important in this area. For
one thing. Ihe funeral possesses the
potential to compel the individual to
acknowledge his loss The ritual of the
funeral can also, if it is fitting with the
beliefs and auitudes of the family,
do a great deal to normalize grief.
This ts important for the adult, and
especially for the child. The presence
ofa child at a funeral permits the child
to recognize that death has occurred.
He sees that there are others who are
experiencing the loss. While them he
can receive comfort, support, and
expressions of love which he might
otherwise miss.

the summer and fall, I have had discussions with state Rep. Chris Donovan of

also allows 12 weeks of unpaid leave a

'unpaid.' While the state and federal laws

If Southington was able to

With the exception of a handful of seniors, the Southington
High girls' soccer team can call
Monday's heartbreaking 1 -0 loss
to Ledyard in the Connecticut
Interscholastic Athletic Conference Class L tournament a stepping stone to bigger and better
things in the future.
The Blue Knights, who hadn't
played in the states in three years,

Fairfield eliminates Southingtoiii netters
By DREW CHORZEMPA

Southington High volleyball

The Lady Knights accomplished many feats this season,
such as improving their record
from a year ago, and they were
ranked seventh in the state at one
time. They team did this all with

19th spot out of a total of 23
teams competing in the tournament. Southington had an equal
or better record than eight of the
teams.
Southington played Fairfield in
the qualifying round Nov. 8 and
fought extremely hard to try and
advance, but ended up losing the
match, 3-2. Scores in the games
were 14-16, 15-13, 8-15, 15-2
and 15-10.
The starting five seniors
played well during their final
appearance in a high school volleyball uniform. Tracy Witkin
was 28-for-29 serving. She led
Southington with 18 service
points. Each one of the seniors
served 90 percent or better all

Audra Holowesko was 13-for-15
serving and had a season high
nine kills. Nicole Prairie had 16
kills and a career high four
tournament with several powerhouse teams such as Cheshire,
New Britain and Trumbull who
are ranked one, two and three in
the state. With the loss, the Lady
Knights fought hard and concluded the season with an 11-8
record.
