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!"
