We owe a debt of gratitude to all the members of the Eucharistic Revival Committee for all their hard work to follow the guidelines of the Eucharistic Revival Movement to bring us closer to the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist these past 3 years. Corpus Christi brought this 3-year plan to a conclusion and our committee had so many wonderful ideas and activities to draw the focus back to the Eucharist during this time. Many thanks to all the members for an outstanding job.
A note of gratitude from Catholic Charities. On behalf of all the people who will receive free toiletries at Catholic Charities, we want to thank you for hosting Soap for Hope bins and donating so generously to the collection this spring. Altogether, in the bins around Tompkins County, we collected 4673 personal items—such as soap, shampoo, conditioner, and razors—all things that help people stay healthy and feel clean and presentable. We appreciate your kindness towards those whom we serve.
We Gave Away Every Rosary! The St. Paul Street Evangelization Team is overjoyed to share that we gave away every single rosary at this year’s Ithaca Festival! What a blessing to place so many into open hands and hearts. Now, we’re in need of more! If you have extra rosaries or would like to donate some, please drop them off at the parish office or place them in the rosary donation box near the entrance of the church. Thank you for helping us share the love of Christ through Our Lady’s Rosary.
On July 1, 2025, our Calvary Cemetery prices for purchasing graves and columbarium niches, as well as for services such as burials, headstone foundations, and marker installations will increase.

The Care and Concern Committee of the Church sends cards to church members in nursing homes.

We want to be sure that our church family knows that we’re thinking of them and praying for them. If someone you know would be blessed by receiving a card, please send the contact information (name and address) to [email protected]…so the Holy Spirit can touch lives one card at a time.
Is there someone you know who could use a warm, cozy shawl that comes with a prayer to help brighten their day? We have Prayer Shawls available for people to hand out.

Please contact the Caring Team or Parish Office 607/273-6121 if you would like one.
