Kathy met her husband Bill while living in Mt. Sinai and had their first

date at the Oktoberfest in Port Jefferson.

Kathy was raised in Hicksville along with her 2 sisters and her

brother. There she attended St. Ignatius Loyola School and then Our

Lady of Mercy Academy. She continued her catholic education at

Nazareth College of Rochester. She received her Masters in Special Ed

from CW Post and studied Theology at the Seminary of the Immaculate

Conception in Huntington.

Kathy taught at St. William the Abbot in Seaford and St. Philip Neri in

Northport, upon her college graduation. She began her career at St.

Louis in 1992, where she was responsible for Grades 4- 8-faith

formation and sacramental preparation for Confirmation. Kathy was

also the director of the Parish Stewardship. In both these capacities

Kathy was truly blessed to work with some of the most wonderful and

truly faith-filled people. John McNamara and Sr. Margaret were Kathy’s

fellow DREs and along with hundreds of workers in the vineyard they

were able to help build the beautiful parish community of St. Louis de

Montfort.

Kathy worked with her outstanding Stewardship Committee, to

introduce the Diocesan Stewardship Program to our parish. The

committee was able to establish a Financial and Time and Talent

Renewals for the Parish. The Ministry Fair was celebrated four times

and it continues to improve. The committee was also initiated the Soup

Supper and Stations of the Cross program for Lent. Different Ministries

were able to contribute soup for the suppers, which would take place

after the Stations of the Cross. Small donations are given to support our

Parish Outreach, which will forever be given in memory of Jane

Guido. Kathy was blessed to have worked with such a wonderful person

who was totally dedicated to those in need.

Kathy was fortunate to work with such a collaborative parish

community. She will always be grateful for the marvelous, loving

community of St. Louis de Montfort. Kathy retired in August of 2018 and

now gets to spend more time with her husband Bill, her daughter Katie

and her husband Jay and her son Michael. Of course, she thoroughly

loves and enjoys ore time with her father, Jim, (she calls him “Pop”) and

her four wonderful grandsons.

Kathy is honored to have been asked to be the co-honoree with John McNamara for the 2019 Parish Golf Outing. This is the single largest fund raiser for the Parish Outreach program and she is asking everyone to support the outing and all of the good that it does for those in need in our community.

from Shrewsbury, MA; John (married to Kim and proud parents of Collin, 10, and Molly, 7) from Farmingdale, NY; Mark (married to Melissa and proud parents of Ames, 11, and Phoebe, 8) from Hoboken, NJ; and Kathleen from Bloomfield, CT. They have lived in Rocky Point since 1978 and are parishioners at St. Anthony's Parish in Rocky Point.

John taught Theology at Maria Regina (now Kellenberg) High School in Uniondale from 1969 to 1980 after having received his BA in Philosophy from Cathedral College in 1968. John received his MA in Theology from St. John's University while teaching at Maria Regina in 1972. In addition to teaching Theology at Maria Regina, John ministered in several parishes: Blessed Sacrament in Valley Stream; St. Catherine of Sienna in Franklin Square; Sacred Heart in North Merrick; and St. Edward's in Syosset.

When Kathy and John moved to Rocky Point, John worked at the Selden/Centereach Youth Center and in 1979 was hired as the Youth Minister at St. Mark's Parish where he still works with the teenagers (and also the RCIA Process, the Lectors, moderates the Respect Life Committee, coordinates the Adult Confirmation Process and does Adult Faith Formation classes). In 1980 John was offered the position of Director of Religious Education at St. Louis de Montfort Parish by Msgr. John McGuire, the founding pastor of St. Louis de Montfort Parish.

As the Director of Religious Education, John was responsible for the faith formation of 2,000 students in grades Pre School through 12. John worked with the First Holy Communion and Confirmation programs in cooperation with Sr. Margaret Judge, Kathleen Sweeney, Margaret Battillo, Anna Mae Manne, Marylou Pinto, Patricia Noto, and Janet Oliveri and 2,500 volunteer teachers during the 38 years----all of whom were outstanding and extremely dedicated to spreading the Good News of Jesus.

John was also responsible for the Youth Ministry Program, the RCIA Process, the Parish Library, the Library Tea, the Irish Family Celebration, the Adult Faith Formation programs, and the annual Yard Sale to benefit Catholic Relief Services and the Nicaraguan Youth Project. John also developed an intergenerational faith formation program called the Family Program for 200 families who chose to be more immediately involved in the faith formation of their children by attending the classes with their children and Father Abraham.

John retired from St. Louis in 2018 and continues to minister at St. Mark's in Shoreham and St. Anthony's in Rocky Point where he is the Adult Faith Formation Coordinator, teaches the VIRTUS Program for child protection, coordinates the Adult Confirmation Process, and runs Parish Retreats with his wife, Kathy, who coordinates the Manna Ministry at St. Anthony's.

John enjoyed every second of ministering at St. Louis and is both honored and humbled to be the honoree along with Kathy Sweeney at this year's Golf Outing. John had the pleasure of working with Kathy Sweeney for over 25 years at St. Louis. The parish is a special one and John thanks each person for their support, kindness, and love. THANK YOU!!!

A Word from the Jane Marie Guido Outreach Office at St. Louis de Montfort Church.

Our Outreach Office in Sound Beach is a beacon of light for those who find themselves struggling financially. We serve people of all denominations who reside in our Parish boundaries. Our Outreach serves individuals, families and seniors with a monthly allotment of food, toiletries, and also clothing when requested.

This year we were proud to give every child a new coat, gloves and hat for the winter. We also organize special events throughout the year, including at Easter, September Back-to-School, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Operations Bunny gives each child an Easter basket and provides each family with an Easter dinner. Back-to-School gives each school-age child a Payless gift card, and a backpack filled with school supplies. Operation Big Bird gives each family a complete Thanksgiving dinner, with pie for dessert. The Christmas Giving Tree is an exciting event, with each child receiving four gifts. One of these is our own very special “Jane Angel tags.” Stockings and an extra supply of food for Christmas dinner are also given. Our Outreach Office provides help with tuition payments for some children in our Pre-School, and assistance to parents who cannot afford the fees associated with our Religious Education Program. We also assist families in emergency situations who run out of fuel, require assistance with rent and their utility bills, and with medical/medicine co-pays.

All these services and programs are only made possible through the abundance of supportive parishioners, local organizations, food drives, our Annual Plant Sale provided by Woodbourne Cultural Nurseries, and YOU, our very gracious benefactors.

With a VERY successful 2019 Golf Outing, we hope to continue to properly serve those in need. Without our many dedicated volunteers and ALL of YOU, we would not be able those who needs us most.

We continue to hear our beloved Jane say to us: You are truly the “Hands, Feet and Heart of Jesus.”

I am sincerely grateful to each and every one of you. Thank you,

Mrs. Hope Finamore
