A Journey For Reconcilliation
On Sunday, October 6, 1974, in
preparation for the great 1975
Holy Year proclaimed by Pope
Paul VI, the members of the
Catholic Churches of Our Lady of
Good Counsel Deanery, including
St. Martin of Tours, Bethpage;
St. Bernard's, Levittown; St.
James, Seaford; St. Ignatius
Loyola, Hicksville; Our Lady of
Mercy, Hicksville; Holy Family,
Hicksville; St. Pius X, Plain-view;
St. Raphael's, Levittown;
St. Kilian's, Farmingdale; will
make a pilgrimage to St. Ber­nard's
Church in Levittown, to
attend a con-celebrated Mass in
the spirit of "Renewal and
Reconciliation", the theme of the
Holy Year. This journey or
pilgrimage is in response to the
Pope's wish that we share fully in
the Holy Year in our homes and
neighborhoods, since it is obvious
that we cannot all travel to Rome
for the 1975 observance. The con-celebrated
Mass, with its special
liturgy, music and symbolic
offertory will begin at 3 P.M.
Each parish has set up its own
means of transportation to the
Church. Parishoners should
check their parish bulletins.
Members of St. Martin of Tours
are urged to meet in the Church
parking lot before 2:30 P.M. to
form a motorcade to St. Ber­nard's
for thier "Journey for
Reconciliation".

a large drug department store in
the East Village Green as their
new home. Saturday's dance
honored all the members and
friends of the Lodge who worked
and gave donations to make their
dream a reality.

BETHPAGE TRIBUNE that the
Sons of Italy wanted the com­munity
to know that they -intend
to be good nelgllbors. They have
already upgraded the property
and have done a big job on land­scaping
the vacant piece along
side the building. Pastore also
said that funds raised from Bingo
proceeds would be used to aid the
many organizations serving the
Communities covered by the
Lodge.
Mr. Pastore also expressed

helped in the project.
