Always Our Children We have been asked … Who are we? Why do we gather? Are we angry with the Church? We are members of the LGBT community, their friends, parents and families. We are
Roman Catholics. No, we aren’t angry. We are members of the Church by virtue of our
Baptism and we discuss how important our gifts are to the faith community. We share how
God has perfectly created us and His presence in our lives.
Join us this summer as we reflect on Fr. James Martin’s book, Building Bridges. Please call
631-661-4254 for more information and location of meetings during June-August on the
4th Thursday of the month.

Dear Parishioners of Our Lady of Lourdes,
Thank you so much for all the donations you gave me on Saturday, July 8th and Sunday, July 9th. I
am in shock of all the donations I received from you, and I’m sure the Troops are going to love all
the gifts and notes sent to them. One lady told me her son is a Marine and the notes they get from
others, thanking and encouraging them, get them through and make their day. So again, thank you
and have a nice day.
Sincerely,

Something to Draw
Draw a picture of wheat and weeds.
Prayer
God, Help my love and faith to grow strong.
Sharing the Gospel Jesus is a great teacher. He teaches people by telling stories. Jesus’ stories are interest-ing, and they help us to understand things that are complicated. Jesus wants us to learn from Him, and to become the best we can be. Becoming the best person we can be means trying our hardest at whatever we do. It means trying to live as Jesus asks us to, making the most of our gifts and talents and using them to help other people. It means always trying to be kind, generous and loving. It means sharing what we have so that the world becomes a better place for everyone.
Mission for the Week
Help your parents in the garden. Watch how carefully weeds need to be pulled, so you don’t pull up the good plants, too.
