From the Pastor’s Desk
When I saw this poem I remembered it immediately. I learned it as a child and it was set to music. Howard Johnson, for those who
don’t know, was the owner of the famous “Howard Johnson’s” Family Restaurants with the famous “Orange” roofs.
M - O - T - H - E - R
"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;
"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,
Put them all together, they spell
"MOTHER,"
A word that means the world to me.
by Howard Johnson (c. 1915)
My Mother was the best. She was a very simple, holy, loving and giving woman. She taught me how to pray and how to live my faith every
day. She taught me by example the importance of putting what we believe into action. I learned how to care for people by paying attention
to their lives and getting to know what they needed and then doing something about it without expecting anything in return. She was charita-
ble because it was the right thing to do. There are those who never understood her and those who verbally would tell others “there must be
some other purpose for her being so nice.” But there wasn’t and she never stopped giving. To this very day there are those who remember
the things she did for them when they were kids.
We did not have much, but we didn’t need it because we had Mom who taught us that we always had what we needed and that God would take care of us, and He did. She taught us that when one door closes in our life, God opens another door or window. God and His Church were
the center of our life as a family. We were a part of the Church and participated as each of us could.
Thank you mom, for being my Mother, for giving me life, love, and for the Catholic Faith, which
keeps me alive and growing. Though you have gone home to heaven I take pride in knowing that you are always with me and that when you died you stood before Our Lord He said to you “Well
done, Theresa, good and faithful servant. Enter the kingdom prepared for you from the founda-
tion of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me to eat, thirsty and you gave me to drink, a
stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, sick or in prison and you came to
visit me.”
Be sure to thank you Mother today, kiss her, hug her and show her how much you really love her.
And if, like my mom, she has died look up to the heavens and smile and say, “Thank you Mom, I still love you.”
May God +bless you and yours today and forever,
Father Anthony

Your Parish Finance Council has suggested that this simple bar graph be added to our weekly bulletin to
illustrate the gap between the Sunday collection and the
amount needed to achieve a balanced parish budget. Since the
beginning of our fiscal year, September 1, 2010, we have
experienced a weekly shortfall in collections. It is urgent that
we begin to reverse this trend. O U R P A R I S H ‘ S F I N A N C I A L H E A L T H

We now have 54 parishioners enrolled in Faith Direct!
All envelopes, including children‘s envelopes, must have
your account number and offering amount indicated in order for
your account to be credited for weekly and special collections.
Thank you.

May 8, 2011— Third Sunday of Easter
The disciples on the road to Emmaus walked and talked with Jesus all day, but
it was not until they offered Him hospitality and He blessed and broke the bread that
they recognized Him. Simple acts of loving kindness still reveal the presence of God in
our midst.
We are grateful this week for all stewards in our parish who accept Jesus’
mission as their own and depend on the Eucharist to nourish and sustain them for the
challenge of a stewardship way of life.

GUARDIAN ANGEL TUITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
At Our Lady of Perpetual Help School we believe in ―educating the whole child;‖
challenging our students to achieve academic excellence along with a strong sense of
compassion and respect for his or her fellow human beings. While our tuition is
modest and affordable, there are many dedicated and hard working students whose
parents simply cannot afford the tuition as a result of our economic times. The
Guardian Angel Program has been developed to provide financial assistance to
existing students whose families are going through a difficult time. A Guardian
Angel can be an individual or company who would like to sponsor a child.
Your contribution is tax deductible and can be made in the following manners: as a one-time contribution
for the academic year; by making a monthly pledge; by making a contribution at any of these levels:
Seraphim $4,440 (Full-year tuition one child); Cherub $2,220 (Half-year tuition);
By helping these children attain their dreams, you will accomplish yours!
If you are interested in participating in this program, please contact our parish office at (631) 226-7725.
SCHOOL NEWS
Six Grade Religion – the students are learning about how God picked his people to help the
Israelites. We are learning about the Judges. They were chosen people by God.
Science – The 6th Grader are finishing up Newton’s Law of Motion. The law of iner-
tia as it is known. An object in motion stays in motion until something stops it; or an
object at rest stays at rest till something moves it.
Science – The 7th Graders are learning about bacteria. Some bacteria are
harmful and others are helpful. The students are learning about vaccines and
antibiotics and how they help us.
Science – The 8th Graders are reviewing for their 8th Grade
NYS assessment test. We are reviewing about the different forces on the
earth that makes it change. Wind, rain, tornadoes, hurricanes, thunder-
storms and tsunami all changes earth’s surface.
Kindergarten – The Kindergarten children hosted a Mother’s Day Tea. They drew portraits
of their Moms and answered questions to see how well they know their
Moms. They sang songs and then served their Moms tea and cookies.
At the end of the tea, the children presented their mom’s with a special
gift. The children enjoyed having their Moms visit the
classroom and wished that everyday their Moms could
spend time in school with them.
The Kindergarten children wish all the Moms of OLPH a Happy Mother’s
Day.
