This and That
As many of you know we are in the midst of our annual Summer Religious Education
Program. It is a marvel of dedication, planning, and commitment on the part of not
only our Religious Education Staff, but also over a 100 volunteer teachers, helpers,
nurse, and even traffic directors. No other parish to my knowledge mounts such an
effort in the summer. Nearly 500 students share in daily Mass, the opportunity for the
Sacrament of Penance, classroom instruction, recreation, guest speakers, and recreational activities. I am also grateful to Fathers Raymond and Thomas for their assistance with the Sacraments.
One point needs emphasis: flexibility in following the directions of the volunteer parking
lot monitors. While the program is in session parking spots right along the curb next
to the Parish Center are roped off to provide a safe meeting place for the parents and
children. When the session is finished for the day all the regular parking spots will be
available as usual.
I’m happy to announce the initiation of a new Children’s’ Choir program for Grades
One through Eight. The children at the Summer Program will be taking flyers home
concerning this and information either is in this week’s bulletin or will be in the next.
The new vocal ensembles will be under the overall direction of Thomas Tirino, our
Parish Music Director, and the immediate supervision and guidance of Nicole Nicholson, an accomplished music teacher and educator. We are lucky to have such talented and dedicated people in our music program! Full information is also on our
Parish Website www.smrcc.org under the ―Music‖ tab.

Don’t Forget Your Baby Bottle!
Saint Matthew
Baby Bottle Campaign to benefit
the Life Center of Long Island
Remember to bring in
those baby bottles!
In August, Saint Matthew ‘kicked-off’ its Baby Bottle Campaign to benefit The Life
Center of Long Island. The weekend to bring those filled baby bottles in is:
SEPTEMBER 10TH & 11TH
The Life Center is a pregnancy help center that counsels women and men who are
experiencing an unexpected pregnancy. They provide maternity housing, medical care
referrals, cribs, car seats, diapers and ALL other baby items that are needed.
Remember that all it takes is your change in a baby bottle and heartfelt prayer to
make a big, positive difference for all those we serve. May every drop of a coin
remind you to pray with our whole heart for the lives of our pre born children!
The Gospel today announces that the kingdom and salvation are for all people. It
is our persistent calling out to Jesus and our faith that count, for Jesus always
responds.
With love for your neighbors who have nothing, look around your
house to see what furniture, household items, and clothing you no
longer use…and give it to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul.

more will be honored at liturgies on Sunday, October 16 th at the Church of Saint
Rose of Lima in Massapequa and on Sunday, November 6 th at the Church of
Christ the King in Commack. Both liturgies will begin at 2:30 pm. Couples may
choose whichever liturgy is most convenient for them.
This fall, couples that have been married fifty years or more will be honored at
liturgies on Sunday, October 16 at the Church of Saint Rose of Lima in Massapequa and on Sunday, November 6th at the Church of Christ the King in Commack. Both liturgies will begin at 2:30 pm. Couples may register for ONE liturgy.
The Registration form is printed on the next page of this bulletin. This is a
change from the postcards used in the past.
Registration must be received by Sept. 25th for the October 16th liturgy and by October 15th
for the November 6th liturgy. There will be additional celebrations in the spring for those who may
find that more convenient. If you have any questions you may call 516-678-5800, extension 207.
After you fill out the registration portion of the flyer, we ask that you present it to the Parish Secretary to be signed and mailed to the Office of Worship so that the certificates, booklets, etc. can be
prepared.
PLAYGROUND ON THE PARISH GROUNDS
As you know, we have a small outdoor playground at St. Matthew’s. Each year, the ground
covering has to be refilled as the small chips blow away and become depleted. In addition,
the slide and swing set is worn, very splintery and in poor condition. Hence, we need to replace them and install a safe, permanent ground covering.
We, including Father Hewes, have looked at various playgrounds and have had bids to do
the job. As we try to be responsible stewards, we want the most durable and the most cost
effective equipment.
To achieve this, we need your help. We appreciate any help that you donate for this. No amount is too
small or too big! We have about 4,800 registered families. If each family contributed $10, we can do this.
However, we’ll surely accept more than $10 a family! It is when everyone tries to contribute, as small as it
may be, that we can achieve our goals. I’m hoping for a 100% response.
Please make your checks out to St. Matthew’s. Of course, we’ll also accept cash. Please put PLAYGROUND on the outside envelope. Truly, you the Parishioners of St. Matthew’s have always been very generous and have always cherished our children. We are very grateful to you.
The beautiful painting above the playground pictures Jesus bringing the children to Him. My hope and
prayer is that the children come to our Church and also enjoy the playground and other facilities at our Parish
Center.
