June 21, 2021

+ June 22-29 has been designated Religious Freedom Week. Bishop Lucia sends the following message to the Syracuse Diocese: “Each day during the week, the Catholic community is being invited to pray, reflect, and act to promote religious freedom. I invite the faithful of the Diocese of Syracuse to join me at a “Eucharistic Holy Hour” to begin this week of prayer from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, June 22 in the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Syracuse.” For specific ideas on prayer and reflection, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops offers this daily calendar.

+ NOTE: Dc. Tom is on vacation this week. His blog posts will return next week.

+ Tomorrow: At Prayer With Mary. You are invited to join us at 9:30 a.m. for our final session. These small group discussions are an opportunity to gather and learn, pray, as well as share on the example of the Blessed Mother, the first disciple of Jesus. Please join us to grow closer to Jesus by growing closer to his mother, and connect with others as we journey in faith. You will be blessed; you will be a blessing!
