Bulletin Sick List Each week, the parish happily accepts names for the bulletin sick list from family members and friends. The list continues to grow, and we are unable to know the status of those on the list. Many times the petitioned per-son will themselves ask that their names be removed, in-forming that they have long since healed and no longer require the prayers. To address this, our Parish will RENEW the bulletin Sick List, beginning with the bulletin of the May 5th & 6th weekend. This will reduce the large number of names, and allow for the list to be reorganized. If you wish a name to be added to the list, simply call the rectory at (516) 541-3270, or email the parish at [email protected]
Thank you!

“We Care” Blankets
As our wonderful group of “Care Blanket” volunteers continue to meet on Wednesday mornings from 10:00-11:30am at Parish Outreach, the gifts of their love, time and talent in crocheting
and knitting beautiful blankets for seriously ill children is nothing less than a beautiful thing! Since our group began in November 2009, the completed blanket count stands at 2,923. I’m sure in no time at all we will be adding to this amazing number. Thank you to our lovely group of ladies for all the good work you do to bring love and comfort to many children undergoing cancer care. Outreach is happy to accept donations of crochet hooks, knitting needles, and is especially in need of acrylic yarns in support of this effort. If you are interested in joining our group please contact Parish Outreach at 516-541-1260.

“Ministry of Consolation”
Our parish is richly blessed to have gathered a wonderful group of volunteers who make up Our Lady of Lourdes “Ministry of Consolation” team. The most valuable gifts we can give are those that come from the heart. The pre-cious gifts of our time, love and compassion are espe-cially needed during the time of the loss of a loved one. Created to provide warmth, caring and personal attention to assist families in preparation for the funeral mass, this particular ministry can never have too many helping hands. Whether your interest be that of a Greeter, Lector or EM, please give some thought as to sharing your time and talents and being a part of this ministry’s call to love and care for one another. Thank you so much to all our volunteers for embracing this beautiful ministry. Please call Parish Outreach at 516-541-1260 if you would like to volunteer. Thank you for your consideration.
Our Parish depends solely on your generosity to meet each week’s expenses. Our regular Sunday collections account for more than 60% of our operating budget. Your continued support, especially during these difficult economic times, is both needed and appreciated.

ROSARY AND ADORATION FOR LIFE: Please consider spending time before the Blessed Sacrament to pray the Rosary for the
conversion of hearts and minds so that all might have reverence and respect for the God-given gift of life, from the moment of con-
ception until natural death. Please pray for an end to violence in all its forms.
SPIRITUAL ADOPTION: Make a personal commitment to pray daily for one unborn child who is in danger of being aborted.
You are asked to ‘spiritually adopt’ one unknown baby and pray that this child be carried to term and experience the fullness of life
as God intended. Daily prayer: "Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I love you very much. I beg you to spare the life of the unborn baby that I
have spiritually adopted who is in danger of abortion.” (Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen)

Confession, and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Call 866-575-0075 or email: [email protected]

MEDICAL CONSCIENCE: “After the Federal government announced rules that will place greater emphasis on enforcing federal
laws protecting medical conscience, 19 Democratic state attorneys general, led by NY’s Eric Schneiderman, promised to seek a court
order invalidating the new rule. They argue that it is the patients who will be discriminated against under the proposed rule. Support-
ers of ‘medical conscience’ argue that forcing doctors to participate in interventions they find morally abhorrent would be involun-
tary medical servitude. They want to strengthen existing laws that protect doctors, nurses, and pharmacists who refuse to participate
in legal interventions to which they are morally or religiously opposed. The stakes can only increase as moral controversies in health
care intensify. For example, some bioethicists are lobbying to enact laws that would give dementia patients the right to sign an ad-
vance directive requiring nursing homes to starve them to death once they reach a specified level of cognitive decline. There are also
increasing calls to do away with the dead-donor rule in transplant medicine so that PVS patients can be organ-harvested while still
alive. Bioethicist Ezekiel Emanuel argues that medical professionals are obligated to accede to the patient’s right to receive legal
interventions if they are generally accepted within the medical community – specifically including abortion. Emanuel stated doctors
who are morally or religiously opposed should do the procedure anyway or procure a doctor they know will accede to the patient’s
demands. Either that or get out of medicine. Medical conscience is not just important to personally affected professionals. All of us
have a stake. Think about the potential talent drain we could face if we force healthcare professionals to violate their moral beliefs.
Experienced doctors and nurses might well take Emanuel’s advice and get out of medicine – while talented young people who could
add so much to the field may avoid entering healthcare professions altogether. Comity is essential to societal cohesion in our moral
polyglot age. Medical conscience allows patients to obtain morally contentious procedures, while permitting dissenting medical pro-
fessionals to stay true to their own moral and religious beliefs. I hope the Democrats’ lawsuits are thrown out of court.” (Wesley J.
Smith, 4/2/18, Human Exceptionalism, NationalReview.com)
