Parish Census

The Diocese of Rochester is currently in the process of carrying out a census initiative. The purpose of this census is to gather accurate and up-to-date information about all our parishioners, as well as those Catholics not yet registered in our parishes. By conducting this comprehensive survey and obtaining accurate contact information, we aim to strengthen pastoral care, stewardship, and enhance communication by having a reliable means of informing you about events, programs, ministries, and greater opportunities for spiritual growth at your parish and throughout the diocese.

Kindly be assured that all information provided will be handled with the utmost confidentiality.
The data collected will be used solely for pastoral, stewardship, and communication purposes.

Parish Census Action Steps

Over the coming months, every Catholic in the Diocese will be asked to participate in the census. In the coming days, you will receive an email with a link
asking you to complete the digital census. This email is not spam, you are encouraged to complete it.

Should you feel uncomfortable completing the census shared in the email, we will have opportunities over the next few weeks to complete the census form before and after mass. Should you have any questions about the census process, please contact the parish office
607-739-3817

Your participation in this initiative is appreciated.

Catholic Ministries Appeal

Hopefully, you have received the Catholic Ministries Appeal mailing and have had a chance
to review the materials. The theme for this year’s campaign is Extending Christ’s Mission.
The CMA is a vehicle to help us extend Christ’s mission throughout the Diocese of Rochester.
It supports each of us in our faith life and enables us to live out our purpose as Catholics.
Through gifts to the CMA, we support the larger Church so that it may
meet real needs throughout the Diocese.

If you have not received a mailing, pledge envelopes are available on the table
in the vestibule of the church. Thank you to everyone who has responded with a gift or pledge.
If you have not yet responded, please prayerfully consider a gift.
The CMA provides funding for important programs, services and ministries
that strengthen our whole Church. Every gift to the CMA helps those in need,
supports the mission of the church and comes back to help our parish.

Thank you.
Let us continue to pray for the success of our efforts.

Stewardship Committee

Our parish has had in the past a Stewardship Committee, which helps raise our awareness of our baptismal call to be good stewards of all God has given us.
At this time, due to the moving and relocation of many members of this group, the time has come for a reorganization of this group.
If you feel the desire to become a member of this committee, please contact Father Linsler through the parish office, 607-739-3817.

From Fr. Dan Condon, Diocesan Chancellor:

Please join the Catholic Action Network.

The Catholic Action Network (CAN), an arm of the
New York State Catholic Conference, gives us all a voice in the halls of government.
Through email and social media alerts, CAN reaches tens of thousands of Catholics across
New York State to provide educational updates on the important issues being debated and to provide the tools
to simplify the process of contacting our elected officials.
At present, you will find information on Catholic community efforts to stop
the legalization of physician–assisted suicide and
support the proposed state aid funding for
Catholic schools.
Please consider signing up for the Catholic Action Network:
Action Center – New York State Catholic Conference (nyscatholic.org).
