Bulletin Reflection The Three Wise Men in today’s Gospel reading are perfect examples of stewards. They traveled from afar to pay homage to the Christ Child. They brought their gifts to Him as a way to show their homage. We, too, have been given gifts that we can present before the Lord and use for the betterment of others.
Living Stewardship – Pillar of Service
In today’s second reading, St. Paul reminds us that we have been given the gift of the Faith to go out and spread the Good News. We are in church today because of someone who spread the Word to us. Let us be at God’s service and spread the Word to someone else this week.

WE MAKE ARTISTS COME ALIVE!
In this expressive art program, students discover art styles through the lives of famous artists as they express themselves in a professional art studio environment at the old library in South Huntington. Students learn through interactive slide show presentations and stories then create their own masterpieces emulating that artist’s style. We incorporate the history of the artist’s life including any challenges which they overcame through their art. Classes are processed-based and developmentally appropriate. We culminate with a big art show after the 10-week program at our gallery that showcases all their work!
