Do you know a high school senior who lives out Christ’s love through service to their church, home, school, and community? The Hands of Christ Recognition is sponsored by the Office of Evangelization and Catechesis, honors high school seniors who have been the “Hands of Christ” to those around them.
Honorees will be recognized at one of several diocesan ceremonies in 2027.
If you would like to nominate someone you see as a Hand of Christ in our community, reach out to our parish office at 607-739-3817.

Meeting will be offered on Tuesday, October 13, 2026 at 7:00 PM, in person, at St. Mary Our Mother School, 811 Westlake St., Horseheads, NY. Use the door of the school across from the playground. You may want to bring a picture or two of your loved one who died, or a memento of significance. Each one has a personal grief journey so we are open to listen, and are carefuĺ to not dogmatize with “shoulds.” We welcome those who are grieving the death of a loved one to this sharing; as you are each hoping to find encouragement, insight, and normalization from each other. You may share or you may just listen. We encourage you to be sensitive to your own needs. ALL are welcome. We strive to provide a safe, confidential, and open place where our motto remains, “We see healing in the very act of helping.” Christine Lloyd, 607-796-2795

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.

The prayer plaque listing the names of ill persons who have asked for our prayers is posted across from the bulletin board in the entry hall.

If you wish to be listed or know of someone who has asked for our prayers, please call the parish office at 607-739-3817.
