Sunday, November 22, 2015
DEVELOPING OUR ST. KILIAN PASTORAL PLAN
“Without a vision, the
people perish.” At least a
half-dozen of my pastor’s
pages have been
dedicated, over the past
year, to the development
of our St. Kilian pastoral
plan. Before I arrived at
St. Kilian, my predecessor Father Michael Flynn,
was contacted by our diocese and encouraged to
join the 12 parish deanery in our area, for a series
of workshops on pastoral planning on a parish
level. Father Flynn was asked to form a Steering
Committee to be trained by our diocese and begin
working on a vision for the local parish that would
help us harness our pastoral energies for the next
six years. Ministry would continue as it has since
1897, but we would focus on certain areas that the
parish leadership, pastor, deacons, and laity,
believed were important in our hopes for this
parish.
As a result of the deliberations of the St. Kilian
Steering Committee, now under my servant
leadership as pastor, a mission statement was
developed as a result of much prayer and
painstaking research. The mission statement has
been published in our parish bulletin for months. It
reflects what the Steering Committee believes is the
core work of St. Kilian parish, as we understand the
mission of Jesus Christ that has been handed on to
us. The Mission Statement is our effort to capture
the spirit of the community in a kind of word
picture. It tells the parish community what we do as
a faith community to further the work of Christ in
our day and time.
Recently, the St. Kilian Steering Committee
completed its task of developing a Vision
Statement. The Vision Statement describes where we
see ourselves moving in the future. Where will we
spend a good part of our time and energy besides
doing what all parishes must do. The celebration of
mass in the sacraments, outreach to the poor, and
handing on the faith to young and old alike, are
integral parts of every parish. Where will St.
Killian’s parish focus our energies and the
transforming power of the Holy Spirit? The vision
statement creates a picture of the future that is
different from the present. In order to realize the
word picture of where we hope to be as a parish in
2021, change has to happen in our faith
community. For example, if we hope to be a more
welcoming inviting parish community when we
celebrate mass and when we meet people moving
into our neighborhood and registering for the
baptism of a child, first Communion,
confirmation, the wedding or funeral - what
changes need to be made to improve in these
areas?
Here are the results of the Steering Committee’s
prayerful deliberations on Our Vision Statement:
1)”Hospitality: St. Kilian parish strives to be a
welcoming, dynamic faith community.
2) Prayer and Sacraments: We seek to nourish the
life of the parish by celebrating meaningful liturgies,
and offering opportunities for a wide range of
prayerful experiences.
3) Lifelong Faith formation: We are dedicated to
inspiring young and old through lifelong education
and formation of hearts and minds.
4) Stewardship: In all aspects of our faith we share
our time, talent, and financial resources through the
spirituality of stewardship.
5) Compassionate outreach and social justice: We
bring our faith to life by serving others - through
compassionate personal outreach, and commitment
to social justice.”
These statements are the five pillars of this
faith community-St. Kilian parish, Farmingdale.
Our response in each of these areas of parish life
needs to be made more specific. To accomplish
this, we have engaged the services of a research
center, CARA (the Center for Applied Research in
the Apostolate).
With the guidance of CARA, the parish
Steering Committee has developed a Parish Survey
consisting of 100 questions. On the weekend of
November 21-22, all parishioners at mass will have
the opportunity to complete the survey on parish
life here. When the results of the survey have been
tabulated, we will get a precise understanding of
the strengths and weaknesses of our parish
community. An Executive Summary of the results
will be published in our bulletin and on our parish
website.
A representative from CARA will come to St.
Kilian’s and will assist our efforts in developing
our prayerful response to the results of the survey.
All parishioners will be invited to that meeting at a
date to be determined. This will enable us to be
specific in making the five pillars incorporated in
the vision statement, come to life over the next six
years.

ST. KILIAN
Dear parish family,
It is our pleasure to introduce ourselves to you as new codirectors of religious education. In the spirit of our
mission statement here at St. Kilian, it is our hope to
continue to help create a welcoming community of faith
for our students and catechists, guided by the Holy Spirit,
nourished by God’s word and the Eucharist, and
committed to witnessing God in and through our
neighbors, and all who are involved in the religious
education program.
I, Claire Stiglic, have a master’s degree in theology and
have served the Church in parish and diocesan ministry
for over 40 years. I have served in religious education,
taught adult faith formation, led days of recollection and
served as an instructor and also as assistant director for
Pastoral Formation Institute.
I am more than happy to be ‘home’ at St. Kilian after all of
these years!
I, Kathleen Singleton, have a master’s degree in
theology, training in spiritual direction, experience in
retreat work, and have served in church ministry for more
than twenty-three years.
Together, with God’s grace, we look forward to
ministering to the families of the parish. All of us together
– priests, families, and our generous, committed
catechists, will continue to joyfully hand on the traditions
of our faith to the next generation.
Catechists (religion teachers – we will help you!), hall
monitors, door monitors, are always needed. Please call
the religious education office at 516-694-0633 if God is
calling you to join us.

Catholic Campaign for Human
Development 2015
This week, we will take up the Collection for the Catholic
Campaign for Human Development which includes Home
Missions (CCHD). CCHD was founded 40 years ago by the
bishops of the United States when they realized that the
lives of those in need would not improve until the systems
and policies that keep people in poverty were changed. For
40 years, CCHD has funded community groups that seek
justice and create lasting change. Fight poverty in America.
Defend human dignity. Give to the CCHD Collection. Please
place your donation for the Catholic Campaign for Human
Development in the regular collection as there will be only
one collection this week.
Volunteers are needed on
Wednesday, November 25th at
10am to help the Sacristan change
the Missal Books in the Church
pews. Thank you for your help.
Christmas Cash 50/50

We chose the symbol of the Star as a reminder of Jesus as the Light of the World. Here is how our Gift Star Program works:

reminder that Jesus, the Light of the World, is coming.
v Purchase the gift indicated on the gift tag.
v Wrap the gift and attach the gift tag so we know for whom the item is intended.
v Return the gift to our new Outreach building when you come to Mass the weekend of December 12th and 13th. If
your gift is not returned on either of those dates, that family will NOT receive a gift since we are distributing
them soon after the collection takes place.
v REMEMBER OUR RETURN DATES – DECEMBER 12TH AND 13TH
