+ Ash Wednesday in the time of pandemic will be a little bit different this year. Ashes will be distributed during two Masses on Feb. 17—9 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. As with all Masses at this time, you will need to pre-register by calling the office or making a reservation online by 3 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 16. (UPDATE: We will begin taking online registrations on Monday, Feb. 8.)
To ensure the health and safety of all who wish to receive ashes, we will distribute them in a different manner—sprinkling them on top of one’s bowed head. To understand how this new procedure works, please watch the video below.
+ TOMORROW! It’s time to THRIVE! Plan to join us for an evening of worship and inspiration on Friday, February 5. We will safely gather at 7:00-8:00 p.m. at St. Vincent de Paul Blessed Sacrament Church, Vestal. Or, plan to watch the livestream on Thrive Ministries’ Facebook page. February’s theme will be: “Called, Gifted, Sent.” Let’s celebrate Vocations. Please register ahead by email at: gmatt@syrdio.org. Don’t just survive, THRIVE!
We have wheelchair accessible entrances to the church, social hall, and education center, and reserved pews, as well as fully accessible restrooms.
