Grieving Parents Of all the pains that life can hand us, arguably one of the most searing is the death of a child. As Jesus joined his distraught disciples on the road to Emmaus after his crucifixion, we ask him to join each of us in this ministry as we continue on our difficult journeys from grief to the healing peace that we, like Jesus’ disciples, can find in the Eucharistic community. To meet the spiritual needs of parents whose children of any age have died by any cause—no matter how long ago—the Family Life Office offers the Emmaus Ministry for Grieving Parents. A unique, faith-based program providing spiritual retreats for grieving parents offered by grieving parents, the Emmaus Ministry offers a safe place where you can find peace, comfort, and hope, at least for a time. The entire retreat focuses on the parents’ personal spiritual journey, where one can engage as much or as little as one wants. One day Retreat St. Francis of Assisi, San Damiano Hall (Manhattan) 135 West 31st Street, New York City, NY 10001 9:30 a.m. - 7:30 p.m. $25 per person, $40 per couple Cost includes breakfast, lunch, dinner, and all retreat materials.

On Wednesday, October 31, 2018, our Archbishop, Cardinal Dolan visited our school for a prayer service and celebrated Mass with us. It was truly a grace filled moment. We thank our dear Cardinal for accepting our invitation and spending time with us. In addition to spending time with our students in the lab and seeing some of their amazing work, he also stayed and trunk or treat with our Religious Education students after mass. What joy it was. Thank you all for coming and participating. Please find below the pictures of our time with the Cardinal.
Join us for our annual Ecumenical Thanksgiving prayer service. Every year we come together in Christian unity as brothers and sisters with Great Kills Moravian Church and Great Kills Christ Lutheran Church to give thanks. Pastor Wolfgang Laudert of Christ Lutheran Church will offer the reflection and Pastor Tracy Pryor will lead us in the first reading. We hope you will join us. 
You are cordially invited to join us this Sunday, November 11, 2018 at 1:00pm for a special mass in honor of and in thanksgiving for our Veterans and members of the Armed Forces. Veterans and their family and friends are particularly invited to this mass. See you then.
