Works of Mercy Initiative Annual Collection:   

We Need You!!  The annual collection for The Works of Mercy Initiative, which is sponsored by the Schenectady area Roman Catholic Churches and brings the Catholic tradition of the Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy alive in our parishes and surrounding communities by helping those in need in our area, will be taken up the weekend of December 5-6.   Help support the continued work of this parish-based ministry by making your contribution. As with all things, the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way they operate. However, while the way they do things may have changed, their commitment to living the works of mercy in accordance with Catholic tradition remains unchanged.

Good Neighbor Program:   is busy helping provide children with clothing to help them feel comfortable, confident, and ready to learn knowing they will have clean, well-fitting clothing to wear to school
