Catholic Conference
Statement of the NYS Bishops on State-Sanctioned Suicide Bill
“Euthanasia and assisted suicide are a defeat for all. We are called never to abandon those who are
suffering, never giving up but caring and loving to restore hope.” – Pope Francis, 2019
On Easter Monday, April 21, Pope Francis ended his earthly journey and entered eternal life. The Holy
Father gave us many examples to emulate throughout his life and ministry, even right to the end when he
gave us an example of a holy, natural death.
Community Outreach
Community Building & Outreach Team
During the month of Mary the outreach will be for women’s toiletries which will be begin collecting on Mother’s Day Weekend. These can include deodorant, shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, toothpaste, toothbrushes, brushes and combs and sanitary products. Thanks as always for your generous support.
Community Building and Outreach
The amazing support that our parish community continues to pour out to every outreach program shows that we truly believe in the mission of Christ, to care for and love one another. To make drop off and deliveries easier we are asking that all outreach items (ie. Food, toiletries, school supplies, etc.) be placed in front of the Saint Elizabeth Anne Seton Shrine located to the left, inside the main entrance to Lourdes. We will use this area for all future outreach drop offs.
Spiritual Gifts Seminar
Learning to Live A “God Life”
Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025 at 7:00pm in the Seton Center
Presented by Deacon Jeff Dixe
In this Spiritual Gifts Seminar, Deacon Jeff Dixe, Director of the Office of Adult & Ministerial Formation, will walk us through a prayerful and pragmatic way of uncovering and using our spiritual gifts and charisms to further the mission of the Gospel, understanding that living a good life first and foremost means living a “God Life.”
Learning to uncover, cultivate and use the gifts God gives us helps us to live a God life….a life that allows us to live fully; to live with purpose and on purpose. What is that purpose?..
To live out our calling by using our God-given gifts with joy as a way to reflect God’s glory in the world to love and serve him by loving others. All are welcome!
