Life Center’s Sixteenth Annual Dinner Dance. The Life Center of Long Island is pleased to announce that our annual Dinner Dance will be held at The Woodbury Country Club, Woodbury on Thursday, October 15, 2009 at 7:00PM. We hope you will join us and help celebrate all that we have accomplished this year. The dinner dance is one of our biggest fund-raisers of the year and helps us to continue to reach out to the many women who come to us for a variety of services. Without the money raised by this fundraiser, we could not continue all the wonderful programs we have. Again, please join us to hear all about our exciting new ventures.

The 2009 Life Center of Long Island Dinner-Dance honoree is Monsignor James Vlaun. Since his ordination in 1988, the focus of monsignor’s priestly ministry has been in the area of media and communications.
Presently he is the President and CEO of Telecare, the diocesan TV network.Msgr. Vlaun hosts Telecare’s weekly programs Everyday Faith Life, a live news show, Real Food, a cooking show that focuses on the holiness of the meal and those who prepare it and Good News, which talks about the good things happening around the diocese and in the church.
On his Good News show, Monsignor has interviewed Lorraine Gariboldi on the work of the Life Center, Deacon Frank Gariboldi about the Center’s involvement with Rachel’s Vineyard Retreat and Virginia Corbett concerning the Center’s “Long Island Teen Freedom”, an abstinence based, value centered program for junior and senior high school students.
A significant portion of Msgr. Vlaun’s ministry has focused on the development of the faith in young people. From 1992 to 2005 he served as chaplain at St. John the Baptist Diocesan High School celebrating the liturgy and meeting the spiritual needs of the students. For nineteen years Monsignor has combined faith and the youth culture by hosting Religion and Rock, a nationally syndicated radio show heard on WBAB 102.3 and Sirius Satellite Radio, channel 159. Always responding to the needs of young people, he is presently completing a book for college students entitled Going Forward With God.

He has also taught in the Masters and Ph.D programs at Immaculate Conception Seminary. Professional athletes have also benefited from Monsignor’s warmth, sense of humor and spiritual insight while he served for nine years as chaplain to the New York Jets.
In addition to all of his other responsibilities, Monsignor serves on the Board of Trustees of St. Catherine of Sienna, St. Charles, and Good Samaritan Hospitals and Our Lady of Consolation Residence.Monsignor’s contributions in fostering and developing the faith among God’s people on Long Island was recognized in 2007 when he received “Papal Honors as Chaplain to His Holiness”, thus receiving the title of “Monsignor”.
