Souper Bowl Thanks
Special thank you to the CYO students from Our Lady of Peace, Chelsie Delperuto, Kaithlin Haskell, Cory Rolince and Brandon Franklin for volunteering to collect for the Souper Bowl of Caring project. Thanks, too, to the parishioners who helped us raise $231 during this event.
Kitchen Renovation
We are in the process of renovating the kitchen. The majority of the work is being done to bring the kitchen into compliance with safety codes. We are installing a new exhaust hood and fire suppression system, and replacing the ceiling tiles with fire resistant ones. We are also installing a new deep fryer, which we will break in for our upcoming Lenten Fish Fry Dinners.
Parish Outreach – Evangelization
In the last few years, several new residential developments have appeared in the Lakeland/Camillus area. Last week we reached out to the residents of these new communities in an effort to help them “Get Connected”. We stuffed 275 mailboxes with flyers announcing our Mass and Reconciliation schedule. We visited Golden Meadows, Brantford Park, Country Creek, Timber Hills, and Country Oaks. In addition, the area’s four hotels/motels gladly accepted our mounted flyers for their weekend guests.
We welcome all new to the area Catholic Christians to our Church family.

Fr Jim Lang to celebrate Masses Feb 11/12
Fr. Jim Lang will be our celebrant and homilist for all the Masses on the weekend of February 11-12. He will speak on what a “linkage” is and what it is not, and all the challenges that come when parishes link or merge. This talk is timely especially in light of the shortage of our diocesan active priests. We thank Fr. Jim for taking the time to share with us the wisdom he has acquired over the many years ministering to parishes and parishioners during these years of
“reconfiguration.”
