Everyone is welcome! Light refreshment served.

A Family Perspective The Magi in today’s gospel were led to Jesus by a star.

Who are the stars your children follow? Do not let it be the Tabloid stars.

Resolve in this New Year to be the guiding star in the life of your children.

Year of the Family: Dec. 3, 2017-Nov. 25, 2018: To learn more, we invite you to visit syracusediocese.org and click on YEAR OF THE FAMILY.

National Migration Week: For nearly a half century, the

Catholic Church in the United States has celebrated National

Migration Week, which is an opportunity to reflect on the

circumstances confronting migrants, including immigrants,

refugees, children and victims and survivors of human

trafficking. The theme for National Migration Week 2018

draws attention to the fact that each of our families have a

migration story, some recent and others in the distant past.

Regardless of where we are and where we came from, we

remain part of the human family and are called to live in

solidarity with one another. Bishop Cunningham will begin

National Migration Week here in our Diocese by celebrating

the 9:45 a.m. Mass at the Cathedral of the Immaculate

Conception on January 7, 2018. All are welcome and in a

special way those who are migrants and refugees. Please come

and join your brothers and sisters at this special celebration.

Deposits for the Ireland trip should be in ASAP!

Do you suffer from post-abortion regret? You are not alone. Our dedicated team will

assist you and offer you a safe place to begin the healing process at our Day of Hope and Healing

on February 10th. Call or email to register confidentially: 855-364-0076 or hopeandhealing@syrdio.org
