This Weekend, we celebrate the 16th Sunday of Ordinary Time AND  Disability Pride Month – hailing the 36thAnniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)! We are pleased to once again welcome our Matt Arnold, Commissioned Lay Minister Facilitator and facilitator of our Diverse Abilities Taskforce, to share our annual update regarding Disability Rights and issues. The ADA was signed into law on July 26, 1990 and the first official Disability Pride Month was in July 2015 for the 25th anniversary of the ADA. Disability Pride Month is celebrated each year in July.

It is with PRIDE that All Saints renews it’s ongoing commitment to affirm the dignity, holiness and rights of all persons!

Please see the Homily & Reflection for the Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time / Independence Day Observance by our Pastor, Fr. Frederick D. Daley here.

All Saints – partnering with our friends in Campus Ministry at Christian Brothers High School – is pleased to WELCOME the Lasallian Social Justice Institute (LSJI) to Syracuse and to our Parish!

We are especially pleased that the group will worship here at All Saints at a special 8:15am Mass on Tuesday the 21st AND again at a special Taizé Prayer Service at 5pm on Thursday the 23rd. We are also pleased to be hosting their community dinner in our Parish Center following the Taizé service. All parishioners are welcome to join in these events!

Week 2 was a great week for Vacation Bible School (VBS) full of games, crafts, snacks, and stories all about following Jesus' example of welcoming and including others! VBS will take this week off and begin again – with more fun and learning – the week of July 27

Volunteers are needed to prepare food, work in the kitchen and deliver and serve the dinner to the men at Catholic Charities Men’s Shelter. If you would like to participate you can sign up at: https://www.wejoinin.com/sheets/sfith Preferred cooking pans are available in the Greeting Area.

On May 25th, our Pope Leo XIV issued the most authoritative document yet of his still-young pontificate and in it directed the Catholic Church's moral gaze toward the frantic pace of technological development that threatens human solidarity. With AI as its entry point, Leo uses his first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas ("Magnificent Humanity") on safeguarding the human person in the time of artificial intelligence, to articulate the church's position on a wide range of contemporary crises, including war, modern slavery, wealth inequality, the erosion of democracy and the devaluing of human capacities. There is a great deal for all of us to learn and absorb from this document.
