How do you honor the Mother of God? How does a Marian devotion shape your prayer life?
Mary did treasure the words of the shepherds in her heart, for they were Good News. She was the vessel of God’s providence; she conceived by the power of the Spirit. Her Son was Messiah and King. She was the first follower and a symbol for all of us, the Church.
As we reflect on this News Years Day, let us consider Mary’s place in our hearts and on our faith journey. She is the Mother of God. She is our model for living the Christian life.
As you plan your New Years resolutions, ask for Mary’s prayers in your efforts.

SOLEMNITY OF MARY, HOLY MOTHER OF GOD
Can you help? Our parish has a serious shortage of Altar Servers to assist at Mass and at
special liturgical functions. Pope John Paul the second once said that Altar Servers
are more than “helpers of the priest”. They are “Servants of Jesus, the High
Priest”. Do you know someone who might be interested in sharing in this ministry,
has made his/her first communion and is in at least the 4th grade? Please contact
Marie Cagnard : 631-471-2211.

Join Us With Mary When life got overwhelming and too big for us as children, we turned to our mother for support and guidance. As adults, we thank her for all she had done for us. Now we are blessed with the opportunity to turn to our Heavenly Mother Mary to ask for her sup-port and guidance, and thank her for the many blessings she has given us. Every Wednesday after 9:00 AM mass (at 9:30), you are invited to join us as we pray the ro-sary to ask for her help and guidance and to thank her for her abounding love.

WE HAVE REACHED OUR GOAL! Thanks to a couple of very generous pledges we recently received and the continued support of so many parish fami-lies, we have surpassed our goal which means our Parish will get back 80% of all new donations to this years Catholic Ministries Appeal until January 31st, 2017. In a world of so many troubles, it’s easy to feel like there is nothing we can do to make a difference. But we can help feed the hungry. We can see that our seniors are provided with services and shelter. We can provide guidance through troubled times. We can make sure that no one feels alone. If you have not already made a pledge to this year’s appeal you can make a difference. Please consider making a dona-tion at this time.
Please participate!! We need everyone’s help!! To make a donation, simply fill out the form below and place it in the collection basket or mail it back to the parish office.
Whatever you are able to give, large or small will be accepted gratefully. For more information or to make an online donation you can go to the CMA website at www.CatholicMinistriesAppeal.org Thank you for your support & continued generosity. John Romaine – CMA Chairperson
