"I'm devastated over the whole thing," an Oceanside parishioner said of the Rockville Centre Diocese's plan to offer buyout packages to 1,800 of its 6,000 employees in an effort to cut expenses.

With all my heart I greet you this Blessed Christmas of 2009. All during Advent, we have heard the promise, “He is coming; He will not delay.” Sunday after Sunday we have lifted up our hearts knowing that soon He would be born again to us on this Christmas Day. “Born again” because what He did once at a specific time in history, He does time and time again spiritually in all the hearts that long for him, in all the families who search for him, in all the parishes of our diocese who “prepare the way” for Him.

“I think in this day and age we're not asking for special laws,” said Malverne resident Robert Powers. “We're asking for equal laws.”
Powers, who married his husband, Howard Costa, in a Connecticut ceremony last year, said he is disappointed with the New York state Senate, which rejected a bill on Dec. 2 that would have allowed same-sex couples to marry. The bill had been approved by the state Assembly three times, including the same day it headed to the Senate, but was rejected 38-24 as several Democrats joined Republicans to vote against it.
