| NYPriest Could God be calling you to be a priest? “The faithful expect only one thing from priests: that they be specialists in promoting the encounter between man and God. The priest is not asked to be an expert in economics, construction or politics. He is expected to be an expert in the spiritual life.” – Pope Benedict XVI God made you for a unique purpose. Even before you were born, he knew your vocation, your mission in life. And if you are a faithful Catholic man, God may be calling you for a higher purpose - to become a Catholic priest.

| RX DANGERS INFORMATION In 2013 the Mayo Clinic found that nearly 70 percent of Americans take at least one prescription drug each month. The majority of medications are safe for consumption, but RX Dangers believe in educating the public about thousands of prescription and over-the-counter medications, many of which have the potential to cause serious side effects. RX Dangers easy to navigate online database is constantly being updated with drug recall news, and provides comprehensive, unbiased information about serious side effects, complications, and interactions of commonly prescribed drugs. The purpose of RX Dangers is to educate the American public on current pharmaceutical drugs and devices commonly being used within the United States. While prescription painkillers and other drugs are being abused by addicts, other life-saving drugs, and devices that the general public has presumed safe are causing just as much harm to people’s health and even death in some cases.

| GOOD FRIDAY OUTDOOR WAY OF THE CROSS The gray sky was so appropriate for our very special annual celebration of the Good Friday Stations of the Cross Procession. It was beautiful public demonstrate of our devotion to our faith and the sacrifice that our Lord and Savior made for us. A BIG "Thank You" goes out to the many volunteers that took an active role in the celebration, including the youth of our parish (Altar Servers and Teen Club), Faith Formation, Holy Name, Lectors, Ushers and parishioners. We were so happy to see many residents of Island Shores and parishioners from other parishes participate. We also extend our warmest "Thank You" to the NYPD who insured our safety.
