Our Lady of Lourdes Page 3 Dear Friends: Each year Bishop Murphy writes to the Pastors of each parish asking them to name an individual or couple who have made a significant difference for the good in our parish by their service, volunteerism and dedication. Once the case is made for the nominated person, the Bishop considers them before agreeing to recognize them with the diocesan St. Agnes Service Award. It's been my privilege to find, year after year, that we are blessed at Our Lady of Lourdes with many possible honorees. Such is the level of giving and service to the community in our parish. his year, I determined to nominate longtime parishioner Bernard Hennelly for the diocesan St. Agnes Award. And, happily, Bishop Murphy has accepted the recommendation and will award Bernie his St. Agnes Medal on Sunday, October 26th at St. Agnes Cathedral in Rockville Centre. Below this letter, you'll find my letter to the Bishop explaining why I believe that Bernie Hennelly's outstanding service to the parish warrants this recognition. On behalf of Our Lady of Lourdes Parish, I want to that Bernard Hennelly for his past goodness and generosity. We are truly grateful. In the Love of Christ, I am Sincerely, Monsignor Jim Lisante Pastor

Our Lady of Lourdes Page 5 Food Pantry As we look forward to and enjoy this beautiful Autumn season, it to remind us it s that time of year when we realize Thanksgiving will be here before we know it! With the help of our good and generous parishioners, along with some wonderful organizations in our community, Outreach will begin accepting your holiday donations in preparation for Thanksgiving Food Baskets. Please take a look at our annual Thanksgiving Flyer posted in the bulletin for further details and listing of items needed to prepare holiday food baskets. In these challenging times when we see many families in need, your kindness for the less fortunate in our community has always been a great blessing, as together we can again provide the gift of a Happy Thanksgiving to those who come to our door. On behalf of all the families we serve, thank you for your continued support. Donations can be brought directly to Parish Outreach, or for your convenience, items may be placed in the usual baskets provided in the entrance of the church during weekend masses. Parish Outreach hours are Monday thru Thursday 9:00am 4:00pm We Care Blankets As our wonderful group of Care Blanket volunteers continue to meet on Wednesday mornings from 10:00-11:30am at Parish Outreach, the gifts of their love, time and talent in crocheting and knitting beautiful blankets for seriously ill children is nothing less than a beautiful thing! Since our group began in November 2009, the completed blanket count stands at 1,208 I m sure in no time at all we will be adding to this amazing number. Thank you to our lovely group of ladies for all the good work you do to bring love and comfort to many children undergoing cancer care. Outreach is happy to accept donations of yarns, crochet hooks or knitting needles in support of this effort. If you are interested in joining our group please contact Parish Outreach at 516-541-1260. Parish Outreach Looking for Caring Men and Women EAC Network s In-Home Caregiver Services is looking for caring men and women interested in helping caregivers of older adults in your local area. For more than 27 years, Senior Respite has been supporting family caregivers by offering them anywhere from 2 6 hours off each week. We introduce a companion to visit with their loved one, keeping them safe and engaging in activities. Companions can volunteer, or elect to receive a wage of $8.00 an hour. They will receive ongoing training, professional support and an opportunity for personal enrichment. If you are a caregiver or potential companion interested in more information or to register for training please call the Senior Respite Program at 516-539-0150, ext. 218. EAC Network is a not-for-profit human service agency. The Senior Respite Program is funded by the NYS Office of Aging, Project Independence and the Helen L. Morris Foundation. 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 you would like to volunteer. Thank you for your consideration.

We will be making Thanksgiving Food Baskets for many needy families in our parish. We will be assembling Baskets in the next coming weeks. Last year through your generosity, we were able to provide Thanksgiving baskets to more than 200 families from our parish and the immediate surrounding area. We are anticipating a greater demand this Thanksgiving, as the past year has seen a marked increase in families looking to us for assistance. Below is a shopping list of items we will be using to make up the baskets. We will begin accepting donations now through November 17th. May we ask you to inspect the expiration dates on intended donations? Please bring the items to the Food Pantry no later than Monday, Nov. 17th, since we will be distributing Thanksgiving Baskets the week of Nov. 17th. Parish Outreach hours are Monday - Thursday from 9am - 4pm. Please feel free to donate any or all of the items on the list to complete a basket. Please do not bring any perishable items including turkeys or hams at this early date, because we do not have the facilities to store them. Kindly consider a Gift Card in lieu of a turkey. However if you choose to donate a frozen turkey or ham, please bring them to the Outreach office only on the days of November 18th, (Tues), November 19th, (Wed) and November 20th (Thurs), when we will be distributing the Thanksgiving food baskets. Thank you for your continued kindness and generosity to our neighbors in need.

For information call Regina Carbonaro 516-795-7568. ******************** A recent nonpartisan Government Accountability Office (GAO) report shows that well over 1,000 health care plans under Obamacare pay for abortions with taxpayer money. The GAO report focused mainly on determining the prevalence of elective abortion coverage in health plans sold on the exchanges, in the 27 states plus D.C. that currently do not have laws in effect that restrict abortion coverage. The GAO found that on these 28 exchanges, 1,036 plans cover elective abortion while 1,062 do not. President Obama repeatedly insisted that no federal dollars would be used to fund abortions. The Hyde Amendment states that no federal funds "shall be expended for health benefits coverage that includes coverage of abortion", but the Hyde Amendment does not apply to the Obamacare law. 'Compromise language' in the law stated that 'you have to write 2 checks: one for the basic policy and one for the additional coverage for abortion. The latter has to be entirely from personal funds. Douglas Johnson of National Right to Life said the 'two-check' system...turns out to be not merely a flimsy gimmick, but a vanished mirage. Although the GAO confirmed that the law requires...separate payment for coverage of these services, the Obama Administration is not enforcing such a requirement. Not a single one of the 18 insurance companies that are selling abortion-covering plans, and that responded to the GAO, actually were collecting a separate payment from enrollees for elective abortion coverage...on the New York exchange, 95% (405 plans of 426) cover elective abortion. The House of Representatives has passed the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act (H.R.7) which would apply the traditional Hyde Amendment policy to all federal programs including Obamacare. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid refuses to schedule a vote on it in the Senate. (Source: Steven Ertelt, www.lifenews.com, 9/18/14)
