The Catholic Communities of Eastern Broome ROMAN CATHOLIC DIOCESE OF SYRACUSE


Dear Parishioners,


As Lent is moving toward Palm Sunday next week, there is still time to enter into the spirit of Lent with acts of Prayer, Fasting and Almsgiving. 

I invite you to plan ahead regarding how you and your family can best observe Palm Sunday  and Holy Week.

 

Our Schedule will be as follows:


Palm Sunday Liturgies - April 12 & 13— usual Sunday Schedule


Monday, April 14, 4-6:00 pm— St. Mary’s, Kirkwood, The Light is On


Holy Thursday, April 17, 7:00 pm  Liturgy of the Lord’s Supper with adoration until 9:00pm, Our Lady of Lourdes

 

Good Friday Service, April 18, 3:00 pm, Our Lady of Lourdes


Holy Saturday Vigil Service, April 19, 8:00 pm, St. Mary’s, Kirkwood


EASTER SUNDAY! April 20, usual Sunday Schedule

 


Lent is a time for each of us to stretch a bit and grow our relationship with Jesus.

As we enter this time of spiritual retreat, let us continue to pray for one another, our communities, and our world.



Blessings,

Barbara Kane

DISCIPLE MAKER INDEX SURVEY


Bishop Lucia has asked all parishes within the diocese to more fully know,

 love, and serve Christ in our parish communities.

Together we must embrace Christ’s vision for missionary discipleship

so our parish can thrive and be a place for others to grow together in faith.                                                                                                                                    


The very first step in this process involves assessing our greatest strengths and opportunities, and that is where the Disciple Maker Index (DMI) comes in!


The DMI is an important survey tool that invites each of us to reflect on our discipleship journey here in the Catholic Communities of Eastern Broome County.


The Disciple Maker Index is designed to:


 · Invite parishioners to reflect on their journey of discipleship.

 · Enable parish leadership to make data-driven decisions.

 · Help parishioners grow in their faith.


The Disciple Maker Index is designed to be an easy process

 which takes 10 – 15 minutes to complete.


Each parish has its own individual DMI survey web addresses as listed below:


OLOL -  https://portal.catholicleaders.org/d/x54a36


St. Joe’s Deposit—https://portal.catholicleaders.org/d/x5pcbx

 

St. Joe’s SANITARIA Springs—https://portal.catholicleaders.org/d/xbt486 


St. Mary’s—  https://portal.catholicleaders.org/d/xxdxdx


 

The DMI is now “Live” at the above web addresses.

 

Paper copies of the DMI are available in your parish.


Please return to the labeled box in your church

A NOTE ABOUT MASS INTENTIONS 

 

Our church has the beautiful practice of accepting mass intentions. An individual may request a mass to be offered for a certain intention: or example, in thanksgiving, for the intentions of another person (such as a birthday or  anniversary), or, as is most common, for the repose of the soul of someone who has died. One must never forget the great spiritual benefit andinfinite graces that flow from the Sacrifice of the Mass. It is a wonderful spiritual gift.


If you would like to request an intention for a mass, simply call the parish office and we will help you schedule a date and time good for you. 

The donation is $15.00, but if need be, we can discuss that when you call the office at 775-0086.

Please join us in praying for the sick of our  parish communities
