This Mother’s Day will have a different flavor for me. Mom is in rehab which is an important step in her returning back home. She had a hospital stay of over a week to deal with the effects of severe dehydration. She came a remarkably long way from when she first got there. She made a dramatic improvement last Sunday. I am so appreciative to the many of you who promised your prayers for her. We can never underestimate the power of prayer. Thank you for your support and concern. I am happy to report that I am really doing fine after my unfortunate encounter last week with a Suzuki in the crosswalk. My initial assessment was good as they found no broken bones or head injuries. I only had to deal with aches and pains, and at this point they are pretty much gone. Another visit or two to the chiropractor and I will be dancing up the aisle. Again, I am most appreciative to all of you for your prayers and concern for me. Aside from it being a frightening experience with some inconvenience, I was very fortunate. There were two details I did not share with you last weekend. When I fell to the ground apparently my right leg was resting in an unusual position. Of course I was told to stay still, but they needed to assess my leg. So, they ended up cutting off the right leg of my pants right there in the parking lot. I understand it was necessary, but I was looking to make a bold fashion statement at that moment. Somehow, in the midst of all that happened I am very sad over the loss of a good pair of pants☺. Also, as the EMTs were putting the neck brace on me they made me smile when they pointed out that they were putting “a collar on a collar.” I’ll take the little white I wear any day. Thank you for your generosity in the special collection for the work of the missions through the Society of the Propagation of the Faith. We were blessed to have Sr. Rosemary Hayes with us. The total raised was approximately $5,400. This Wednesday I leave with 33 traveling companions on our trip to Colorado and New Mexico. I am confident it is going to be a great adventure. We will be seeing some beautiful sights of nature as well as holy and sacred places along the way. We leave at 5:15 on Wednesday morning if any of you would like to come and wish us well. 3 SPECIAL PARISH ACTIVITY! Don’t Forget Your Baby Bottle! On Mother’s Day weekend, May 10th & 11th, the Parish of the Holy Cross is hosting a Baby Bottle Fundraiser to benefit The Life Center of Long Island. The Life Center is a crisis pregnancy center that counsels women and men who are experiencing an unplanned pregnancy. They provide maternity housing, medical care, referrals, cribs, car seats, diapers and ALL other baby items that are needed. We are asking that you pick up a baby bottle and fill it with your donation. Most importantly, we are asking you to recite the prayer on the bottle. The weekend to bring back the filled bottles is Father’s Day weekend, June 14th/15th. The prayer attached to the bottle will enable the counselors at The Life Center to say just the right words a mother or father may need to hear. It especially opens a mother’s heart to accept the truth. We believe these prayers lead abortion-minded women to call The Life Center in the first place. Let us pray with our whole heart for the lives of our unborn children. SPECIAL COLLECTION STEWARDSHIP CORNER At the offertory this weekend, we will also be collecting for our Roof and Other Major Renovations. Jesus offers life – life in abundance. Next weekend, we will also be collecting for the Catholic Communications Campaign which helps spread the Good News through: Catholic programs on television Inspiring radio programs Children’s videos Free movie reviews And so much more! 4 Who do you know who could use a sign of God’s abundant love? What can you do to bring God’s abundant love to that person? VEGETABLE GARDEN NEWS On Saturday, May 3rd, volunteers helped with the clean-up of the Outreach Vegetable Garden.

We need your help so that we can adequately plan to meet the needs of our parish. If you have a child entering First Grade in September you need to register. If you have recently moved to our parish you need to register. First time registration needs to be done in person at our office. Registration needs to be completed by June 13, 2014. Office Hours: Monday – Friday 9:00-12:00 & 1:00-4:00 If your child was not baptized at Holy Cross you need to bring a copy of your child’s Baptism Certificate. For those who are already part of our program, you need to register as well for the upcoming year. Materials have been sent to your home, and they may be returned by mail. Please note the deadline of June 13, 2014. A detailed outline of our program is available on-line or at our office. But, there are a few important details to be noted. Children must successfully complete each grade level to proceed to the next. The Sacraments of Reconciliation, Eucharist, and Confirmation require a minimum of two years of preparation. Most importantly, we need to work together. Faithful attendance at classes and parent workshops is essential. As comprehensive and informative as our program is, this is only one part of your child’s faith formation. The greatest thing you can do to nurture your faith and the faith of your child is to regularly be part of our Sunday Eucharist. The Catechism of the Church states that parents have the first responsibility for the education of their children. We are privileged to work with you in this task. We thank you for your cooperation in allowing us to be part of your lives. We look forward to a fruitful year where everyone, young and old, continues to grow in understanding the gift of our faith. 6 CONGRATULATIONS! to the following children who celebrated First Eucharist in May 2014 Carmine Abbate Jarrett Abt Louis Altrui Angelina Augusta Katherine Ball Natalie Bencivenga Alexandria Bieler Emma Bottitta William Burns Alexa Cacace Gianna Cacace Louis Cacace John Cali Salvatore Capozzola Connor Catania Morgan Chapman Samantha Collazo Michael Connizzo Jordan Conter Nicholas Cottage Jessica Cronin Julia Daley Jack DaSilva Ashley DeMeo Noah DeScalzo Ryan DeSimone Justin Diaz Samantha DiBiasi Ryan Diffley Vincent DiStefano Brandon Doukas Kane Doxsee Andrew Eaton Michael Ehrhard Anthony Fedor Olannah Fikes Cameron Fleece Dylan Frank Laina Friedmann Dylan Gallub Emily Gebbia Matthew Gemmell Vanessa Gragnaniello Jessica Greenwood Gillian Grillo Edmund Grinius Lisa Heffernan Sean Heller Ciara Henderson Mario Hroncich Aidan Hughes Anthony Ingrisano Mariella Jacobson Sean Johnson Emily Kowalski Ryleigh Kozlowski Brendan Kramer Ryan Kunis Olivia Lanuto Benedetto LaRosa Haily Letizia Aiden Lyon Amanda Mack Juliana Maloney Gillian Marotta Joseph Marselle Mason Martinez Brianna Martinsen James Masterson Michael Mastriano Eric May Grace McDonald Samantha McNeeley Katelin McQuade Luke McQuade Anthony Medaglia Madison Monahan Gianna Moss Karen Nessler Emily Nofer Adrian Nowacki Melissa O’Connor Emily O’Dea Roman Obert-Thorn Abigail Owenburg Gianna Paider Olivia Palazzo John Pelan Ryan Phaneuf Samantha Photos Megan Popielaski Isabella Portillo Lauren Prete 7 Darius Rakowski Justine Reichle Caitlin Reilly Zachary Rokosz Thomas Rorick Christopher Russell Michael Ryder Brodie Salice Nicolette Sanicola Emily Scali Lauren Seitz William Serocki Noella Sexton Kerry Ann Sheuchenko Alexander Sinatra Ashley Sinatra Kayla Sottung John St. John Aidan Story Brooke Strafford Samantha Succarotte Connor Sweeney Brendan Tesone Hannah Thode Charles Tomasino Michael Van Brunt Gavin Van Riel Mason VanDeusen Madison Varrichio Justin Weisberg VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL Unique Animals VBS will now be accepting mail-in registration.

Heifer International works with mothers all over the world to make a better life for their children. Through the gift of livestock and training, these moms are sending their children to school, buying essential medicine and clothing, and finding their voices. This Mother’s Day, we honor all mothers in the parish by empowering other women to lift themselves and their families out of hunger and poverty. We are sending in your donations from Kevin Bacon to purchase Five Promise Baskets @ $85 each. Geese, ducks, chickens and rabbits are included in these Promise Baskets, which give struggling families the promise of a secure future. This gift also includes training on how to properly care for the animals. The money earned from selling the goods produced by these Promise Baskets will pay for better housing for a woman needing to find decent shelter for her poor family, as well as school tuition and supplies for her children. And, it will enable her to Pass on the Gift quickly, securing the promise of a better future for her entire neighborhood.

Please note our meeting is on Saturday, May 17th (this is a change due to First Holy Communions). 10 Providing Bright Futures for Young Women and Their Children Joan was 17 years old, pregnant, facing emotional difficulties, and living in foster care when she came to Catholic Charities’ Regina Residence program for young women dealing with untimely pregnancies. Joan received individual counseling and support from the residential staff at Regina, as well as life skills training so necessary for new mothers. She was encouraged to go back to high school so that she could get her diploma, and have a better chance of supporting her new family. Not only did Joan graduate high school, but she continued her education and began a successful career. Today, working full-time, attending college in the evening, and living in her own apartment, Joan is a wonderful mom to her beautiful little boy.
