What’s happening:

It’s time to register your children (grades 2 and up) for First Penance and First Communion. The sacraments will take place in May; exact dates and locations of classes and ceremonies will be announced at a later date. Registration forms are available at all 4 sites, on the parish website, and through the Church office. The deadline is February 15th. Readiness for First Communion is an emotional, spiritual, and intellectual process. A child’s readiness is greatly influenced by the experience of participating in the liturgy each week with his/her family. Other readiness factors include:

  • Desire for the Sacrament
  • The ability to distinguish Eucharist from ordinary bread
  • Willingness to continue life in the community after reception of the Sacrament
  • Appropriate faith formation for a child’s age, including two years of consistent Parish Religious Education classes or two years of attendance in a Catholic School
  • Celebration of First Penance prior to receiving Eucharist
  • Registered member of the Parish

Questions can be directed to Annette Larrabee at 607-687-1068 or annette.larrabee@dor.org

The First Saturday Mass in February will be held on February 1st at 9 am at St. James Church. Watch the bulletin and listen to the announcements to confirm the location of this Mass each month.

Heavenly Father,

We honor the Blessed Virgin Mary as the Mother of Our Lord. We praise Jesus as did the Wise Men on the Epiphany. We pray for Peace on Earth. As we celebrate the Baptism of the Lord, may we understand the lessons of Simeon: that we should trust in God’s promises; be patient; be led by the Holy Spirit; recognize Jesus as the Savior of all; and to embrace the cost of discipleship. We fervently pray for babies in the womb on the Day of Prayer for the Unborn and always. We beseech your wisdom for those working to eradicate disease. May we continue the evangelization efforts of St. Paul following his conversion. This year may we practice the four types of prayer: adoration, contrition, thanksgiving and supplication but especially adoration. We continue to pray for the health and your guidance of Bishop Matano and Pope Francis. We ask these in Jesus’ name

Amen.
