GOD'S LOVE UNITES US

It is thanks to the generosity of parishioners like you that our parish can continue to worship, provide the sacraments, foster prayer, educate, evangelize, and serve — in short, to love one another as God loves us.  

I invite you to prayerfully consider how you are able to respond to the call to live and share God’s love by making a commitment to financially support our parish through our God’s Love Unites Us program.  With your help, we can continue living and growing in our love for God, love for our parish, and love for our neighbor, supporting the mission of Christ and His Church.

PASTORAL PLANNING TASK FORCE

Pastoral Planning:  Sharing Our Reality—Our Parishes’ Weekend Mass Attendance

We often focus on a “priest shortage” but we also have a “parishioner shortage.”  The 7 parishes in our area currently have about 3400 people at Mass on a typical weekend.  In contrast, in 2011 we had 8400—a 60% decrease.  Our attendance—like that across the diocese and elsewhere—has been declining throughout the 2000’s, but Covid greatly accelerated that trend.  We have fewer people worshipping, engaging in the work of the church, paying the bills.  When was the last time you invited someone to come to Mass with you or you shared your love of the Mass and Eucharist with people in your life? 

Mass attendance and church capacity numbers for our individual parishes are available at https://holycrossrochester.org/index.php/taskforce or from your parish office.

CATECHIST IN A YEAR PROGRAM

St. Mark's is inviting our parishioners to join us in reading the entire Catechism of the Catholic Church together using Fr. Mike Schmitz’s podcast, “The Catechism in a Year.” With this podcast, we won’t just read the Catechism in 365 days… it will help us understand what it means to be Catholic and allow those truths to shape our daily lives! You can find this podcast on any podcast app, on YouTube, or just by clicking this link! www.ascensionpress.com/pages/ciy-registration-parish
