Dear Father Kaczmarek:
Barbara Kilarjian has shared with me the wonderful news that your parish has exceeded goal in pledges for the 2022 Catholic Ministries Appeal. What a wonderful tribute to you and your parishioners during this unprecedented time ~ congratulations and many thanks.
Your support is so vital to continuing our evangelization and discipleship ministries throughout the Diocese of Rockville Centre and I am most grateful for your commitment and leadership not only to the Catholic Ministries Appeal, but to your parish and the Diocese.
Thank you again for helping us to fulfill the promise of the future and continue to promote dramatic missionary growth across Long Island. I keep you and your parishioners in my Masses and prayers.
Fraternally in Christ,
Most Reverend John 0. Barres Bishop of Rockville Centre
All Eyes were Smiling! A St. Patrick’s Day Dinner/Dance Recap
It was a grand evening for everyone, Irish or otherwise! 135 people attended the St. Patrick’s Day Dinner Dance at St. Francis on March 11, dancing to the music of Irish group Buoy 34, and entertained by the Irish step dancers from the Doherty/Petry School of Irish Dance, and the bagpipe tunes of Nicholas Minguillon. Judges Lisa Love and Liz Cook chose Carol Queally and Leslie Kulawicz the winners of the Soda Bread contest from among 10 entries.
St. Patrick The Irish Legend!
In recognition of Irish American History Month, we are showing the film “St. Patrick: The Irish Legend”, starring Patrick Bergin, Malcolm McDowell, Alan Bates, and Susannah York.
