Holy Hour & Rosary For Life – Saturday, October 3, 2026 – 12:00 p.m.

Bishop Bonnici has asked each parish in the Diocese of Rochester to host a Holy Hour and Rosary for Life on Saturday, October 3, 2026, beginning at
12:00 p.m. in the chapel of our church. During this hour of prayer, we will place before our Eucharistic Lord prayers for the protection of every human life and entrust our efforts to the maternal care of the Blessed Virgin Mary. At the same time, Bishop Bonnici will lead a Holy Hour and Rosary for Life at Sacred Heart Cathedral, to which the Bishop invites all to attend. Whether we gather at the cathedral or in our parish, we pray that our united prayer becomes a powerful witness of our communion as one diocesan Church.

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.
