Dear parishioners and friends in Christ,

This weekend is world-wide Mission Sunday

where we are all called to fulfill our obligation as

Catholics to support the missionary efforts of our

Church by our prayers and financial contributions.

We can all be missionaries right here in our own com-

munity by witnessing to our Faith by our example and

inviting family, friends and neighbors to share in the

joy of the Gospel.

We join in congratulating 9 of our parishioners

who will receive Catechetical Awards for Service this

week from the Bishop. God bless these wonderful cate-

chists and we all thank them for what they do for the

children of our Parish Family.

Our School Spirit is the Holy Spirit – Catch It! Nursery – Grade 8 Catholic School

Academic excellence in a faith-filled environment

The SSCM Cross Country team hit the ground running even before the

school year got rolling! With Coach Amber Sanchez at the helm, the

team began meeting up in August to start training and learning the ins

and outs of what it takes to challenge themselves in the coming weeks

during the Cross Country season. Coach Sanchez is a triathlete, a group

fitness instructor and the mother of three boys at Saints Cyril and Metho-

dius and she has been volunteer coaching SSCM’s Cross Country team

for three years now.

The Catholic Middle School Athletic Association (CMSAA) provides a

structure for interscholastic athletic competition among middle schools

in the Diocese of Rockville Centre, offering a variety of sports each sea-

son, ranging from Baseball, Softball, Basketball and Soccer to Volley-

ball, Lacrosse, Bowling, and Cross Country.

Saints Cyril & Methodius School – Spotlight on SSCM Sports

SSCM Cross Country Team Hits the Ground Running!

OUR SCHOOL SPIRIT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT – CATCH IT!

In Cross Country running, teams and individuals run a race on open-

air courses over natural terrain. The courses vary in length, may in-

clude surfaces of grass and earth, pass through woodland, open coun-

try, and include hills, flat ground and sometimes gravel road. The

benefits of Cross Country are both mental and physical. Cross Coun-

try training builds versatility and stamina, with experience running

over a wide range of speeds and terrains.

Saints Cyril and Methodius has participated in CMSAA programs for

over seven years and this year’s Cross Country Team includes 16

middle school boys and girls, whose meets take them to a diverse

range of Long Island terrains and parks, such as Belmont Lake State

Park, Sunken Meadow, and Heckscher Park, to name a few. At the

heart of the CMSAA’s Mission Statement is their role in helping

develop well-rounded athletes, so the program’s coaches seek to pro-

mote physical endurance and good sportsmanship, while fostering

teamwork and Catholic values in all of their players.

For more information on SSCM, visit www.sscmweb.org or call

1.631.667.4044, ext 131. To learn more about the CMSAA pro-

grams, visit www.leaguelineup.com/cmsaa/.

ST. VINCENT DE PAUL

CONFERENCE

Your support of our Parish conference of the Society of St.

Vincent de Paul has enabled us to bring God's mercy to our

neighbors who are stressed out, hopeless, alone and fright-

ened. Between October 1, 2015, and September 30, 2016, we

have been able to directly assist more than 60 people in our

community. During that period, our volunteers have made 141

home visits, and over 600 telephone calls in service to our

neighbors. A special word of thanks to our dedicated volun-

teers, who have donated over 700 hours of their time during the

past year to support our ministry. Our activity has increased

significantly from the prior year, which was the first year that

our Parish conference was in existence. There is much need in

our community, and with your support, we are trying to do

whatever we can to help.

The next conference meeting will be held on

November 2, 2016, in the Senior Center at 7:15 p.m.

If you, or anyone you know is in need of assistance,

please contact us at 631-667-4044 ext. 175, or at

sscmstvincentdepaul@gmail.com.

Dear Friends of Outreach

We‘re your Parish social ministry Simplified!

Outreach and as always, we extend our sincere

thanks for all you do to keep us operating. Truly without your

generous food donations this ministry would be severely chal-

lenged, if not collapsed! We’re unable, however to handle clothing

donations, and ask that rather then placing them in the church foy-

er, you put them in the St Vincent De Paul clothing bin in the rear

parking lot of our church. Be assured they will be gratefully put to

good use. Please bring baby items, including food, furniture, toys,

equipment and clothing up to size 4T to the Life Center across the

street from the church . They will all be warmly welcomed. We

ask so much of you, on behalf of our clients, and you always de-

liver. Thank you and God Bless FOOD PANTRY NEEDS

More From Our New

Director of Religious Education

To my dear Family of the Eucharist,

Once again as a reminder, due to class sizes being full and lessons being over a month under way, REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED. ONLY LEVEL

1 REGISTRATION FORMS WILL BE ACCEPTED IN OCTOBER.

I am a firm believer that you can always be told that you are great at what you do and that you are appreciated. Therefore, Catechist of the Month

is the newest addition to our program! Students and parents can nominate a

Catechist and tell me why they love them and why they are amazing at what they do! There will be a winner chosen from Level 1 to Level 4 and another

chosen from Level 5 to Level 8. For those students and parents who would

like to nominate a Catechist, submissions can be emailed to me at DRE@cmdeerpark.org or be submitted in the mailbox on my office door.

Every nomination must contain the Catechist’s name, the Level of the student

and why their Catechist is so amazing! I have already received nominations and will continue to accept them until Sunday, November 13th. The Catechists

who are chosen will also receive a special surprise for the students that they

teach!

Don’t forget to download our app! The parents, students and Catechists have been using it and love it! Information about our program, parish news and

upcoming events are sent out every day! If we get a certain percentage of

people to download it as soon as possible, we will be entered to be in the running of winning a grant for our program! Those new people who register

will also be entered in the running to win a Starbucks gift card! So far, we

have met MORE THAN HALF of our goal for the time period that has been

given, and we still have a few days left! Tell your friends and spread the word

so that we can be entered! If parents, students and Catechists still want to

download it, please call me at (631) 667-4044 ext. 145 or email me at DRE@cmdeerpark.org with any questions!

Have a great week!

The RCIA process will begin this Fall!

What is the RCIA?

The RCIA is a process by which non-Catholic adults, or Catholic adults who did not receive

all the Sacraments of Initiation, learn about the Catholic faith and gradually become full mem-

bers. Every year adults are welcomed into the Catholic Community through the RCIA.

Do you know someone who has not been baptized and is interested in becoming a member of

the Catholic Church?

Any adult who has not been baptized and would like to begin the journey in preparation for

the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, and First Eucharist), should call Deacon James

Murano at the Parish Center: 631-667-4044 x127.

This process is also for adults of other Christian faiths who have already been baptized.

Adult Catholics who never received First Eucharist and/or Confirmation:

If you are an adult Catholic who was baptized and for some reason never completed your Sacraments

of Initiation, you are invited into this process to help make that happen.

More volunteers are needed to be a part of our RCIA Team!

If you would like to help the candidates along their journey of faith during their time in this process,

please contact

Deacon James.

HOMELESS INITIATIVE

Parishes and Churches in the Town of Babylon have been

meeting over the past two (2) years to discuss a Homeless

Initiative during the cold winter months.

Two local parishes have agreed to house the homeless over-

night one night a week beginning in December.

We will be serving a hot meal at night and breakfast in the

morning. Additionally, we will be sending them off with a

TRIBUTE TO USHERS Violet Rourke Broderick

In my parish church one Sunday

A thought occurred to me

That numerous are the tasks performed

By the Ushers' Society

These quiet handymen of God

Are faithful all year round:

Passing collection plates and baskets,

Pleased when seats are found,

Issuing bulletins, envelopes, palm,

Opening windows and doors-

Whenever assistance is needed,

It's the ushers who tackle the chores.

And ever they go on their thankless way.

Up and down all the aisles,

While over the years, as hair turns gray,

Their steps have stretched into miles.

But I'm sure there must be a special place-

Perhaps with a golden aisle.

Where angels usher these kindly men,

To the throne of God and His smile.

So give them a grin or a greeting,

A nod or a word or two,

Remember, in serving Jesus,

They still have thoughts for you.
