[Continued on page 8] The opening of Catholic Charities' Ecumenical Center for Senior Adults, which will offer the elderly low cost, hot lunches, social services and a wide range of recreational activities, is set for Monday, March 28, at 145 Prospect Street, Farmingdale.. Located in Fellowship Hall of St. Luke's Lutheran Church, the center will be open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. each weekday. Aside from nourishing meals and social services, the program will provide health and nutrition education and information and referral services. There will also be group trips, picnics, lectures, arts and crafts classes, bingo, card and board games and other social and cultural events. The program will serve per- sons of all faiths who live in Farmingdale, South Far- mingdale, Massapequa, Massapequa Park and Seaford. Although it is open to all residents of the five villages age 60 and over, it is primarily designed for those with low incomes and those who can't shop and cook for themselves. There will be a suggested fee for meals, based on the individual's ability to pay, but no one will be excluded for financial reasons. Persons wishing to participate in the program must pre-register by calling Ms. Marline Kulungian. program manager, at 679-3521 or 679-3524. Tran- sportation will be provided if necessary. Operated by Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Rockville Centre, the program is being funded jointly by the federal government, under Title VII of the Older Americans Act, the Nassau County Department of Senior Citizen Affairs and Catholic Charities in cooperation with the New York State Office for the Aging. According to Michael J. Petrizzi, Nassau director of Catholic Charities, the establish- ment of the agency's newest hot lunch program (there are others in Amityville and Rockville Centre) was made possible through the cooperation of a number of community figures. Helping in the initial planning stages were Mayor John T. Hallahan of Farmingdale and the Rev. Donald R. Shane, pastor of St. Kilian's Catholic Church, Farmingdale. Petrizzi said Mayor Hallahan also explored the community for sites and located the one at St. Luke's. Others instrumental in getting the program off the ground were the Rev. James R. Corgee, pastor of St. Luke's, who made Fellowship Hall available for the program, and Mrs. Frank Cerny, St. Luke's parish activities chairperson, who helped ready the facility for use and is recruiting volunteers for the program. School Registration St. Kilian School will hold registration for all grades for the school year 1977/1978 on Monday, March 28, between the hours of 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. Parents are asked to bring child's baptismal certificate and record of immunizations at the time of registration.
