Dear Friends:
Let me begin with a warm word of welcome to new parishioners and returning parishioners. We are delighted by your
presence and appreciate your time with this happy and growing faith community.
And what a great weekend to be here! In celebrating and remembering our Moms on Mother's Day weekend, we recognize the vital and formative role our mothers play in our lives. At each Mass this weekend, the presiding priest will be
offering a special blessing to all Moms who are present, and praying for all Moms who have returned home to heaven.
In trying to find the right words to honor and affirm the special and blessed vocation of being a mother, I was happy to
come across the words of the late Joseph Cardinal Mindszenty. His reflection on the richness of the maternal vocation
says it powerfully. I offer his prayer-meditation on Motherhood for our reflection this Mother's Day weekend:
The Most Important Person on earth is a mother.
She cannot claim the honor of having built Notre Dame Cathedral.
She need not. She has built something more magnificent than any
cathedral—a dwelling for an immortal soul, the tiny perfection of her baby's
body...The angels have not been blessed with such a grace. They cannot share in
God's creative miracle to bring new saints to Heaven. Only a human mother can.
Mothers are closer to God the Creator than any other creature;
God joins forces with mothers in performing this act of creation...
What on God's good earth is more glorious than this: to be a mother?
—Joseph Cardinal Mindszenty
A word of invitation. On Saturday, June 11th, our parish will hold it's first Casino Night. It should be a terrific night and
I urge you to join us. Benefitting both Our Lady of Lourdes Parish and the Knights of Columbus, this evening will include food and $200 of script for use in the games. Tickets are $50 and you will, I promise, have a delightful time while
doing great good for the parish and the Knights. My thanks to all the volunteers who are working to make the night a
success. Please join us and please bring your family and friends.
Thanks for the consideration.
Finally a word of congratulations. This weekend our second graders celebrated heir First Communions. I was my privileged to offer the two Masses that brought these young and wonderful parishioners to what I hope will be a lifetime of
living in the Eucharist. My thanks to their parents and Catechists for bringing these great young people to the Sacrament.
Enjoy a peace-filled week.
In the love of Christ,
Msgr. Jim Lisante
Pastor

“Ministry of Consolation”
Our parish is richly blessed to have gathered a wonderful
group of volunteers who make up Our Lady of Lourdes
“Ministry of Consolation” team. The most valuable gifts
we can give are the gifts that come from the heart. The
precious gifts of our time, love and compassion are especially needed during the time of the loss of a loved one.
Created to provide warmth, caring and personal attention to
assist families in preparation for the funeral mass, this particular ministry can never have too many helping hands.
Whether your interest be that of a Greeter, Lector or EM,
please give some thought as to sharing your time and talents and being a part of this ministry’s call to love and care
for one another.
Thank you so much to our coordinator, Deacon Frank Gariboldi and all our volunteers for embracing this beautiful
ministry. Please call Parish Outreach at 516-541-1260 if

Happy Mother's Day!
We honor and thank all mothers, living and deceased, for their gift of life. We remember and appreciate all of the
sacrifices they have made, and continue to make, out of love, to care and provide for us. Often, we don't realize
until we are parents ourselves, how much our mothers sacrificed for us. Today, we say, "Thank you, with love, for everything you
have done for us!" We also remember and pray for those mothers who are facing a crisis pregnancy. May God guide them to
choose life, and may we, as followers of Christ, provide for these women in their time of need.
"The most important person on earth is a mother. She cannot claim the honor of having built Notre Dame Cathedral. She need not.
She has built something more magnificent than any cathedral - a dwelling for an immortal soul, the tiny perfection of her baby's
body...The angels have not been blessed with such a grace. They cannot share in God's creative miracle to bring new saints to
heaven. Only a human mother can. Mothers are closer to God the Creator than any other creature; God joins forces with mothers in
performing this act of creation. What on God's good earth is more glorious than this: to be a mother?" (Joseph Cardinal
Mindszenty)
VISIBILITY MATTERS: There is a weekly prayerful presence at the Planned Parenthood facility in Massapequa on Saturday
mornings, 10:30am-noon, 35 Carmans Rd, Massapequa (across from the mall parking lot). For information: 516-541-8056. We
need your presence now more than ever!
SPIRITUAL ADOPTION: This program involves making a personal commitment to pray daily for one unborn child who is in
danger of being aborted. You are asked to ‘spiritually adopt’ one unknown baby and pray that this child be carried to term and experience the fullness of life as God intended. Daily prayer: "Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I love you very much. I beg you to spare the
life of the unborn baby that I have spiritually adopted who is in danger of abortion.” (Prayer of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen)
HOPE AND HEALING AFTER ABORTION: The Sisters of Life host monthly Days of Prayer and Healing, monthly Gatherings, and Hope and Healing Weekend Retreats. These events are opportunities to experience the loving mercy of God in a safe and
sacred space. All retreats are led by the Sisters of Life and women who have experienced both the suffering of abortion and the joy
of healing in Christ. The retreats are directed by faithful priests who have a sensitivity and a heart for those who suffer. They include witnesses of mercy, Scripture sharing, personal prayer, opportunity for Sacramental Confession, and the Holy Sacrifice of the
Mass. Call 866-575-0075 or email: [email protected]
BABY’S LIFE BEFORE BIRTH
 My heart is beating at 18-25 days.
 The foundation for my nervous system is in place at 20 days.
 My skeleton is complete at 42 days and I have reflexes.
 My brain waves can be detected as early as 43 days.
 At 8 weeks my brain and all body systems are present and I look like a miniature doll.
 During weeks 9 & 10 I squint, swallow and can make a fist.
 By the 11th and 12th weeks I am moving my arms and legs, sucking my thumbs and breathing amniotic
fluid. All my systems are working.
 My movements by 16 weeks are quite active and I can be seen performing somersaults on ultrasound but
am not yet felt by my mother.
 From the 3rd month on nothing new develops. I continue to grow in size and by 20 weeks I have hair on
my head, weigh 1 pound and am 12 inches tall.
Life, what a beautiful choice! Mother and Child we love you both, please let us help!
