Spotlight on Stewardship - Jerry Moran and Kevin O'Shea By Carol Griffin

This Spotlight on Stewardship focuses on longtime Parishioners Jerry Moran and Kevin O'Shea who coordinate the St. Boniface Outreach Program. Under their guidance Outreach has grown and is working with more individuals and families. Outreach also runs the Parish Thrift Shop that sells gently used affordable clothing and bric-a-brac. The Thrift Shop and food distribution are staffed by Jerry, Kevin and other volunteers from the Parish. It is open for three hours twice a week, on Wednesday and Saturday mornings. In Matthew's Gospel Jesus calls on us to feed the and clothe our neighbors and on behalf of St. Boniface Parish Jerry and Kevin have certainly taken that message to heart by the service they provide.

Jerry Moran Jerry Moran lives in Glen Head and has been a Parishioner of St. Boniface for 36 years. He and his wife, Sue, have raised their three children here. "The most important thing to me is my family," he said. His basic values are family, faith and friends. Jerry attributes his faith to his parents, who had a strong religious background as Irish Catholic immigrants and to his Catholic elementary school education. Jerry had volunteered as a coach in the St. Boniface CYO and local Junior Baseball for many years. He and Susan have always worked on the Parish festival and other fundraisers. He said, "I registered for the Parish after two ladies showed up at my door and told me I was a member of St. Boniface." When Fr. Mike was Pastor he appointed Jerry as a Parish Trustee. When Deacon Ted started Outreach at St. Boniface, Jerry said he and his wife Susan started to work in program, where Parishioners donated food and clothing, with the emphasis on distributing food. At that time Parishioners were donating the equivalent of 10 bags of food per week. Although the Parishioners were generous, this was not enough, since Outreach received the 75 requests for food each week. The Parish signed up for Long Island Cares started by the Harry Chapin Foundation and Long Island Harvest, where Jerry and Kevin O'Shea, who co-chairs Outreach, go weekly to pick up food to bring to the Parish. The State and Federal governments provide money for food and Kevin O'Shea completes the necessary paperwork for these benefits. On average 35-40 people pick up one bag of groceries provided to each family twice a week. Those who need food initially fill out forms to request the food. "If you ask for food, you get it," said Moran. Fourteen or fifteen volunteers help each month with distribution. At Thanksgiving and Christmas St.

Boniface Parish also provides 120 bags of food to families and food gift cards to buy fresh food 5 products.Deacon Ted Kolakowski was responsible for the program growing and helping more people. When Deacon Ted left, Fr. Bob asked Jerry to take it over the program, and Jerry asked Kevin to co-chair it with him. Reflecting on the program, Jerry said, "Someone had to do it. It's a way of acting out our beliefs. This is a very practical way to live our faith."

Kevin O'Shea According to Jerry Moran, Kevin does all the paperwork for Outreach, which is considerable given all the governmental forms to be filed regularly. In speaking about early influences on his Catholic faith, Kevin tells us he grew up in Long Island City, a working class area of Queens. His family were members of St. Mary's Parish and he attended St. Mary's School. On Sunday's he worked for the church cleaning and changing the candles. He was also an altar server and attended St. Agnes Catholic High School in New York City. Kevin's uncle was a priest who was a big influence on him. He also attended Catholic college at Biscayne in Florida before finishing his degree at New York's John Jay College of Criminal Justice. Kevin said the most important value to him is charity, being able to give back to people his time and energy and give financial aid to those who have less. In high school and college, he volunteered as a tutor at the Jacob Reis Center, where he helped inner city kids develop language and math skills. He commented that he is grateful that in his own life he has been very fortunate. Kevin and his wife, Alexis, moved to Glen Head, in 1972, and joined our Parish. In retirement, he enjoys being involved with his family, especially his grandchildren who he sees regularly. He enjoys reading and playing with and going on vacation with them. He has always been involved with the Parish fairs and fundraising. In 1987 he joined other fathers in building the Glenwood School play area and has been an active member of the James Norton Council of the Knights of Columbus. The Knights invite men who join to become better Catholics and to assist with charitable work within the community. With the Knights he has participated in various charitable works and fundraising including delivering food baskets to the homes of senior citizens for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Kevin also works Bingo night at the K of C, which gives its profits to various churches and other charitable organizations in the area. He still regularly donates to the Marist Brothers organization in gratitude for what they taught him when he was in high school and college. St. Boniface Martyr Parish is grateful to Jerry and Kevin for organizing our Outreach Program that reaches out to help our neighbors.
