SPREAD the WORD! ALL ARE WELCOME!

From the LGBTQ+ Taskforce:

Due to the backlash over President Biden’s first ever Proclamation on Transgender Day of Visibility which fell on Easter and publication of the new Vatican document, Dignitas Infinita (“Infinite Dignity”), we wish to share with you a letter written to Pope Francis by the mother of a transgender child. The new Vatican Document, which focuses on a range of “moral issues” (including the evils of war and poverty), while positive in some aspects, in the words of Francis DeBernardo, the executive director of New Way Ministries, again supports ideas that lead to real physical harm to transgender, nonbinary, and other LGBTQ+ people. In her letter, Lisa Williams, the Mom, writes, “I challenge us, as followers of Jesus, to allow ourselves to become uncomfortable so that real and necessary change can happen. We need to face our fears, our misunderstandings, and our biases. We must stop putting limits on God’s love and divinity, which have no limits and are beyond our human understanding.”

This Vatican document is the one our Fr. Fred referenced in his homily last weekend, which offers us all – like the Apostle’s with their dissenting friend “doubting Thomas”– the challenge of remaining in communion even as we dispute the validity of aspects of the document. Links to the Letter, the President’s Proclamation & the Vatican Document can be found here. Hard copies are available in our Greeting Area. On Tuesday, May 7 at 7pm, we will gather in church for an open dialogue on these issues and documents. All are Welcome!

  • Parish Bible Study

    This week Our Bible Study groups continue a 6-week study of Biblical References to the Spirit, in preparation for the Feast of Pentecost – when we celebrate the “descent of the Holy Spirit.” Tuesday evenings and Wednesday mornings groups will share lessons on texts mentioning the Spirit in the Old Testament; then during the first three weeks of May, will study references to the Holy Spirit in the New Testament, culminating in the Feast of Pentecost on May 19. All are welcome to join. Please contact Mary Jureller [text: 315-382-8039 or email: giege39@gmail.com] so she can order enough booklets.

  • Bereavement Group

    This group is for anyone experiencing the loss of a loved one. The Bereavement Group will help you face your grief in a way that is healthy for you. Listening to others and sharing experiences is also a way to work through grief. If you know someone who might benefit from these groups, please feel free to invite them (or better yet, bring them!). Those who have been to a group previously and would like to continue that growth. are invited.

    The Group meets from 3-4pm in the Harrison Center Ignatian Room on Wednesdays April 24; May 1, 8, &15.

  • NEW BOOK STUDY BEGINNING – April 23!

    The Tuesday morning – 10-11:15am – Book Study Group will begin discussing “FOLLOWING CHRIST in a CONSUMER SOCIETY” by John E. Kavanaugh. In our era of fraud, corruption and the relentless celebration of image over substance, Kavanaugh’s impassioned plea that we turn away from the false and dehumanizing gospel of consumerism and embrace our true humanity in Christ is, perhaps, more urgent then when he first wrote it. All are Welcome! The Group will continue for 6 weeks – ending on May 28. Gatherings are in the Tomczak Room in church. Please contact Michael Songer at 315-466-8482 OR allsaintsff@syrdio.org to arrange for a book. For those able, a $7 donation for the book is appreciated.
