Dear Families,
Well, the Religious Education year ended differently than any of us could ever imagined. I miss seeing all the students and catechists. I miss saying hello to you all as you dropped off your children and the conversation in the lobby while waiting for dismissal. And most of all, I miss praying with your children.
Many, many thanks to our catechists who have so lovingly helped your children grow in our faith:
Rosemary Badolato, Brian and Eileen Bingay, James Cassidy, Helga Coiro, Jody Cole, Karol Dondero, Shannon Esposito, Alfred Ferony, Lisa Flowers, Dale Fraietta, Gloria Guinta, Ann Healy, Bernadette Henriques, Patrice Hersh, Patricia Howe, Theresa Incardona, Doreen Kingsley, Leslie Lawler, Elizabeth Lenihan, Dawn Lennox, Donna Malia, Marisse Malfant, Mary Jean Merando, Jennifer Montenegro, Seney Moskalik, Karen Ormsby, Barbara Parmly, Thomas Payson, Stacy Rohan, Theresa Ryan, Jackie Suarez, Christine Tetro, Susan Travis, Andrew Viggiano, Patricia Viggiano, Elena Walker and Stacy Whetsel,
We also appreciate the work of our classroom assistants: Kevin Delima, Sophia Ferony, Stephanie Merino, Sofia Moskalik, Hailey Ortiz, Kristen Palmer, Jordan Perreiro, Kristen Sanchez, and Karen Vintamilla.
Registration forms for the 2020-21 year will be mailed shortly. We will be having class in the fall, although we’re not exactly sure how it will look. We are planning for several different options, with a wait and see what we can do mindset.
We have made the difficult decision to not hold Vacation Bible School this summer. While many will certainly miss it, we feel it’s best to skip this summer.
Students preparing for First Communion and Confirmation will receive some activities throughout the summer to continue their preparation. As soon as we know the new dates, we will be in touch. These Masses are a priority for Fr. John DeBellis.
The Fran Boylan Food Pantry at Holy Spirit served 258 households in April That’s more than twice the number from April 2019. They anticipate more households coming in May. If you are able, please consider dropping off non-perishable, unexpired food. Items especially needed are cereal, pancake mix, syrup, jelly, peanut butter, tuna, chicken, beans, fruit and vegetables, rice, pasta, etc. Food can be left in the church between 9am and 1pm daily, in the Children’s Liturgy Room, to the left when you walk in. If you would like more information, or are in need, please call the food pantry at 914-737-2111. Thank you.
All of us have spent more time in prayer these last few weeks and I think we will continue to do so. We have all been touched by someone with this terrible disease, whether it was you or someone you know. Please continue to pray for those affected, for our first responders and essential employees and for God to guide us to a cure.
If there is anything we can do for you, please don’t hesitate to contact us. For now, the best way to reach us is through email, but we do check voice mails daily. You all continue to be in my daily prayers.
Blessings,
Elizabeth Kogler, CRE
