Now Airing - Catholic Faith Network Video Se-ries Commemorating 50th Anniversary of

NY Mets Winning World Series

A daily one-minute video series is now airing on the Catholic Faith Network. Hosted by Bishop John Barres and Rev. Msgr. James Vlaun, President and Chief Executive Officer of Catholic Faith Network, the summer-long series commemorates the 2019 Fif-tieth Anniversary of the New York Mets winning the World Series in 1969. Each video in the series re-flects on a moment of Met nostalgia which then ties in to the pursuit of dramatic missionary growth in the Diocese of Rockville Centre. The videos are also available on the diocesan website – www.drvc.org and its Facebook page - @RVCDiocese. Caption: pictured from left: Ed Kranepool, Art Shamsky, Msgr. Vlaun and Bishop John Barres.

A little humor from the office

A parishioner noticed that the pastor kept three pairs of glasses on his desk. When she asked why, he replied: “ I need one pair for distance, one pair for reading, and one pair to look for the other two.”
