The joy of a child is contagious, isn’t it? A child’s giggle is simply infectious! We can’t help but smile when we observe the innocent playfulness of children. Could it be that we secretly wish we could re-live those joy-filled days that we never wanted to end? You know the ones when we heard, “Come in when the street light comes on.” Those were the days of endless play, imagination and laughter with friends. Do you often wonder like I do why adults are so serious? What can we learn about God through our relationships with children? If any of this makes you curious, then please join us for this year’s women’s retreat. You’ll have a chance to rekindle that childlike joy!

NOVENA TO THE HOLY SPIRIT
The Novena to the Holy Spirit is the oldest
Novena of the Church. It represents the
nine days that elapsed between our Lord’s
Ascension and the descent of the Holy Spirit
upon Mary and the Apostles and disciples
gathered in the Upper Room in Jerusalem.
The Novena to the Holy Spirit is a
wonderful way to pray for a new
outpouring of the Spirit on our own lives,
on our Parish and on the world.
The Novena to the Holy Spirit began on the
day after Ascension Thursday, that is, on
Friday, May 6th. To participate, please pick
up a copy of the Novena on the big table in
the back of the Church. ST. MALACHY’S NURSERY SCHOOL
St. Malachy’s Nursery School will open on
Sunday, June 5th!
The Nursery School will be for all children
under the age of five.
It will be held in the Church Hall during
the 9:00 AM Mass every Sunday.
The mission of the Nursery School is
twofold:
1) To enable parents of young children to
get more out of the Mass and to enjoy
it more.
2) To give the little ones a fun, Christian,
leaning experience.
The Nursery School will be staffed mainly
by young mothers, as well as others.
For more information, call Leah Fowler at
315-750-9441 the Parish Office at 674-

BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN CHRIST,
Please read the following article on assisted
suicide. It is very important.
Fr. Smith
ASSISTED SUICIDE
Legislation has been introduced in the New York
State Legislature that would allow doctors to
legally prescribe a lethal dose of pills at the
request of a terminally ill patient.
Why is our Church against physician assisted
suicide? First, let it be known that the Catholic
Church does not teach that life must be
preserved by any and all means. Extraordinary
means, such as breathing machines, are not
necessary when death is near. People must be
allowed to die naturally. But we cannot
intentionally take their lives or help them to
deliberately hasten their death.
Under the proposed New York legislation,
patients would be eligible for assisted suicide if a
doctor has diagnosed them with six months or
less to live. Yet doctors cannot accurately predict
life expectancy. And it often happens that
someone outlives the odds.
May 7th/8th 2016
Seventh Sunday of Easter

Doctor-assisted suicide is fundamentally
incompatible with the physician’s role as a
healer. It undermines the bond of trust between
doctors and their patients. The way that doctors
respond to their patients affects the patients’
view of themselves and their self-worth.
People who say they want to kill themselves are
often clinically depressed. For those who receive
a terminal diagnosis, the stress and turmoil can
lead to a depression. Yet there is no requirement
in the legislation that patients receive counseling
or mental health treatment before they choose a
lethal and irreversible course of action.
The proposed legislation offers no protections to
ensure that the patient is not being coerced into
taking the drugs, or even to prevent another
person from administering the drugs. While
legal witnesses must be present at the time of
the request, one of them can be someone who
stands to gain financially from the patient’s
death. Legalized assisted suicide empowers
others – family members , health care systems,
insurance companies – to pressure and exploit
older, weaker, vulnerable persons in order to get
them to cut short their lives.
All of the so-called safeguards of assisted suicide
occur at the time a
request for medication is made by the patient.
There are no safeguards at the time the patient
consumes the pills, which could be months or
even years after the request is made. Family
members don’t have to be notified, and no
medical professional is required to be present.
In Oregon, where physician assisted suicide is
legal, in 89% of the cases in which the assisted
suicide was carried out, the prescribing doctor
was not present.
Under the proposed legislation, doctors are
specifically required to fabricate the patient’s
death certificate and state untruthfully that the
cause of death is the underlying disease, rather
than the unnatural act of suicide.
New York State spends millions of dollars each
year to prevent suicides with anti-bullying
campaigns in schools, awareness training in
prisons, toll-free hotlines and extra safety
precautions on bridges. It makes no sense to
recognize suicide as a statewide public health
concern while simultaneously promoting it as
“dignified and humane” for certain populations.
Assisted suicide is less expensive than pain-
relieving and supportive care at the end of life.
As insurance companies and governments seek
to reduce health care spending, will they
promote this option in order to reduce expenses
and liability? In Oregon, some patients have
noted that lethal doses of drugs were covered by
their insurer while cancer treatments were not.
Once the government approves of assisted
suicide for those with a 6 month terminal
diagnosis, it will be difficult to limit it to that
group. In Oregon, where the law is six months,
lawmakers are already considering extending the
terminal diagnosis to those with one year or less
to live.
In the European countries that have legalized
suicide, it has led to widespread euthanasia,
including involuntary killing of patients who
never asked for suicide, the killing of children,
and the establishment of stand-alone suicide
clinics. And advocates there have already said
that they intend to extend the reach of assisted
suicide beyond the terminally ill.
In this country, it should also be noted that
studies have shown that the overall suicide rate
increases in states where assisted suicide is legal.
Maintaining New York’s ban on assisted suicide
does not mean that terminally ill patients must
die an agonizingly long
and painful death. Almost all physical pain can be
controlled through pain management and
medications, and measures that are unduly
burdensome may be removed or withheld,
allowing natural death to occur. Hospice can
provide comfort and comprehensive care.
Let your state legislators know your position on
physician assisted suicide by going to The New
York State Catholic Conference website and
clicking on “Take Action”.

BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN CHRIST,
It is time once again for us
to support the work of our Church through the
annual Bishop’s Hope Appeal. This appeal is of
vital importance to the mission of Christ through:
our university and hospital chaplains, outreach to
the rural and urban poor, parish faith formation,
Catholic schools, family life programs and many
other good works.
This year, St. Malachy’s assessment has
gone up, from $16,008.89 to $16,832.27. But
50% of the amount by which a parish exceeds its
assessment is given back to the parish the
following Spring.
Every Catholic family in the Diocese should
have received a letter from the Bishop, along
with a pledge form. We would like to ask
everyone to turn in their pledge form by next
Sunday, May 22nd, by either dropping it into the
collection basket or mailing it to St. Malachy’s.
We would like to have all pledges go through the
Parish rather than being sent directly to the
Diocese.
Again this year, we are asking every family
to pledge $120.00 ($10.00/month), more if
4

Pentecost Sunday
possible. Any checks written should be made out:
Hope Appeal.
Please be as generous as possible. Only if
some families pledge more than $120.00 will we
make our assessment. Last year the average
pledge of families throughout the Diocese was
$178.37. The average pledge of St. Malachy’s
families was $204.04! Therefore, some families
gave way more than that.
All we ask, however, is that each family do
the best it can. What we hope for most of all is
that every family in the Parish make a pledge, no
matter how small, because, as a parish family,
we want to be all in this together.
Thanks for reading this. May our Risen
Lord Bless you always.

Pentecost Sunday
could re-live those joy-filled days that we never wanted to end? You know the ones when we heard, “Come in when the street light comes on.” Those were the days of endless play, imagination and laughter with friends. Do you often wonder like I do why adults are so serious? What can we learn about God through our relationships with children? If any of this makes you curious, then please join us for this year’s women’s retreat. You’ll have a chance to rekindle that childlike joy! For details call Tanya at The Good News Center at (315)735-6210 or visit us online www.thegoodnewscenter.org.
