May 10th, 2015 The Sixth Sunday of Easter 5 A Word about Baptisms: Baptisms are celebrated on the first and third Sundays of the month at 1:45 PM and the fourth Saturday at 12:30 PM. Please call the Parish Office to arrange for the Baptism of your child. Godparents for Baptism must be at least 16 years of age, have received the Sacraments of Baptism, First Communion and Confirmation and be "eligible" to be a Godparent. Godparents who are not registered at Saint Matthew s need a "Letter of Eligibility" (not a Baptismal Certificate) from the Parish they belong to at present. If you have any difficulty or questions about any of these points, please call us. Families that want a so-called private Baptism at a time separate from the above with a visiting priest or deacon are advised that no date will be set until the visiting clergy have contacted the Pastor and obtained his permission. If one wishes a particular priest or deacon assigned to the Parish to perform your child s Baptism it can be done at the regular Parish Baptism administered by that priest or deacon. Naming your children Please remember that the Code of Canon Law of the Catholic Church obliges Pastors to be sure that children are not given names "contrary to Christian sentiment" at Baptism. Name your children after family members so that they will have a sense of "connection" in a fractured world! The Church asks us to give children the names of Saints for the same reason: so that they may have special intercessors in Heaven and may have a Heavenly "friend" to learn about and imitate. In today's world, your children need all the help they can get: give them the beautiful names of the Saints and of family members and you will be giving them a great treasure! Father Hewes 2015 marks the Parish s 50th anniversary. In 1965 Bishop Kellenberg assigned Father Leo Goggin to go out into the country and establish a new Parish. It went from Masses in supermarkets and Baptisms in living rooms to the beautiful Parish we see today under the guidance and care of four more pastors and many dedicated priests, deacons, religious and laity. We will celebrate this year with the following events; a mixture of the Liturgical, spiritual, and social. Please mark your calendar for the following events. Friday, June 12th: 7:30PM Our Parish Music Director, Thomas Tirino, will be performing a Benefit Concert for St. Matthew s at The Dix Hills Performing Arts Center at Five Towns College. 305 North Service Road, Dix Hills, NY Friday,July 31st: Parish Day at Bethpage Ballpark in Islip for a L.I. Ducks baseball game with reserved seating for St. Matthew s parishioners. (The form is included in the bulletin.) Saturday Sept.19th We will mark the anticipated Feast Day of St. Matthew with a special Mass at 5PM in the church with the glorious sounds of our Parish Choir. Sunday Sept. 20th, a gala Parish Dinner/Dance at Watermill Caterers in Smithtown.

Since 1844 the members of the Apostleship of Prayer have offered themselves to God for the salvation of souls, the Church, the intentions of all Apostles of Prayer, and the intentions of the Pope. DAILY OFFERING PRAYER God, our Father, I offer You my day. I offer You my prayers, thoughts, words, actions, joys, and sufferings in union with Your Son Jesus' Heart, who continues to offer Himself in the Eucharist for the salvation of the world. May the Holy Spirit, who guided Jesus, be my guide and my strength today so that I may witness to Your love. With Mary, the mother of our Lord and of the Church, I pray especially for this month's intentions as proposed by the Holy Father. Amen. May Universal: That, rejecting the culture of indifference, we may care for our neighbours who suffer, especially the sick and the poor. Evangelization: That Mary's intercession may help Christians in secularized cultures be ready to proclaim Jesus. RESPECT LIFE NEWS Spiritual Adoption Program MONTHS SEVEN AND EIGHT Developing Baby You are in the home stretch with your spiritually adopted baby. He/she is completely formed, and has been since 8 weeks. All he/she is doing now is gaining weight - - and making his/her mother uncomfortable with his/her size. But she is not worried. In a short time, her baby will be born. Your baby s mother appreciated the prayers you have said for her and her baby throughout the pregnancy. It has not been easy, but your prayers have given her the grace she needed to bring her baby to term. Spiritual Adoption Prayer Dear Jesus, child of Mary, I love you and thank you for your unconditional love. I plead with you to save the life of, the unborn child whom I have spiritually adopted and whose life is threatened by abortion. May this child be allowed to grow in wisdom, age and strength in Your presence and in the sight of all. Amen
May 10th, 2015 The Sixth Sunday of Easter 11 Extraordinary Form Latin Missae Cantatae: St. Matthew s. Sundays at 12:30 May 17 Sunday after the Ascension: Fr. Hewes 24 Pentecost Sunday: Fr. Hewes 31 Trinity Sunday: Augustinian Canons. In the Gospel today, Jesus says to us, "This is my commandment: love one another as I have loved you... You are my friends if you do what I command you." By your gift to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul you fulfill the commandment to love one another as Jesus has loved you. Kathryn Monaco Douglas - Young Widow and Widowers Shortly after her husband s death, Diane Sweeney started The Bob Sweeney Foundation in memory of her husband Bob. This Foundation provides a weekend at Camp Alvernia in Centerport for young children who had a parent who had recently died. There is no fee for the weekend. In addition, each year the Foundation has a Christmas party for these children and their families. This is a wonderful Foundation as it helps so many children who are grieving the devastating loss of a parent. Knowing the great work that Kathryn Monaco Douglas, along with her friend Arlene Ricca, has done for YOUNG WIDOW AND WIDOWERS here at St. Matthew s, the Bob Sweeney Foundation honored Kathryn at the Huntington Hilton on April 19 th. This was a well deserved honor. Over the last 8 years, Kathryn, who had been a young widow herself, began a group for widows and widowers, 55 years of age and under. She leads 3 groups a year and has helped hundreds of young widow and widowers who come from all over LI and queens to participate in her group. One day when I complemented her for all of the good she has done, she responded, isn t that what God wants us to do? May God continue to bless the good that Kathryn has done so lovingly, prayerfully and selflessly. She is sponsoring a walk on May 31 st at Belmont Lake State Park. When Kathryn started the walk, 30 people participated. Last year, there were about 500 people who participated. Please read the form on the next page and consider joining us for the walk. The funds that are raised help the young widow and widowers and their families. Thank you and God bless you. Sister Kay McCarthy
