Dec Family Liturgy/Pancake Breakfast

Religious Ed. Christmas Caroling

On January 22nd of this year our country will mark the 46th anniversary of the Roe vs. Wade decision by the Supreme Court legalizing abortion. As they have been doing in the years since then, many people will go to Washington D.C. that day to attend the March for Life in order to stand up for and to pray for the millions of unborn children who have lost their lives to this tragedy and who will continue to do so until we stop this horrific practice. Obviously not all people are able to make the trip to our nation’s capital but would like to do something in support of those who are marching as well as for the children who have been lost. We will have Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament from 6-8pm on that day to give those who wish to do so the opportunity to come together in prayer and support for the Pro-Life Movement. Join us on Tuesday, January 22nd , from 6-8 pm at St. Denis Church for an evening of prayer before our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament, focusing on change in our country and in the hearts of our fellow citizens and political leaders.

AN INTRODUCTION OF CATHOLIC SPIRITUALITY FOR MEN

Many individuals and families have wandered away from their faith in God, or from involvement in the Catholic Church. Sometimes a simple invitation can lead them to return. Some might be in life situations that prevent them from fully participating in the sacramental life of the Church, and feel they are no longer welcome or allowed to be part of the parish family. They must be told this is not true. At St. Kateri Tekakwitha Parish All are Welcome! 

If you know anyone who would like to be invited back to the Faith and to the Church, have them contact the Parish Office at 845-227-1710x2.   Also see:   www.catholicscomehome.org/

NEW YORK CATHOLIC RADIO

Catholic Bytes Podcast offers short, dynamic talks about the faith. Like our own Fr. Brian Graebe, priests studying in Rome created these podcasts "to offer dynamic catechesis for people on the move. Most people do not have time to sit down and study the faith, so these episodes offer an opportunity to learn more about Catholicism or to grow in your relationship with the Lord, in short 5-10 minute sessions."
" Episodes offer listeners a variety of themes ranging from faith fundamentals, Scripture, dogma, morals, liturgy, spirituality, saints, and Church history."Listen to this one about St. Kateri.
"Get to know Christ and His Church through this dynamic and engaging media!"
