It takes the hands of many to operate a parish of our size. In addition to all those specifically listed here, we wish to extend our gratitude to all those not listed, who volunteer their time and talents to help us meet our many needs and continue to serve our parishioners and our community!
Fr. Jason C Hage Father Jason Hage grew up in Brockport, NY and was a serious hockey player in high school, winning the New York State title his junior year. He attended Xavier University in Cincinnati and earned his Bachelor’s in Philosophy. Upon graduation from Xavier, he entered St. Mary’s Seminary & University in Baltimore, MD and earned his Master’s of Divinity as well as his Sacred Bachelor’s in Theology.
Fr. Hage spent the first three years of his priestly ministry at Holy Family Church in Syracuse, where he worked intensely with the youth and young adult ministry programs. In 2015, Bishop Cunningham appointed Fr. Hage the coordinator of “Fisherman’s Club”, the diocesan outreach to college-age men discerning the priesthood. In 2017, Fr. Hage was appointed pastor of St. Mary’s Church in Hamilton, St. Joan of Arc Mission in Morrisville, with sacramental responsibilities at Colgate University’s Newman Community.
Bishop Lucia appointed Father Hage the Director of the Office of Vocation Promotion on October 1, 2019.
Deacon Olkowski In 2017, Stan attended a deacon informational seminar and soon "realized that something transformative had occurred in my life. I felt the presence of the Holy Spirit and realized that the diaconate was the plan that God had for me."
Stan takes his inspiration from the members of his parish family at Mary Mother of Our Savior, “who continue to support, encourage and pray for me.” Stan will continue to be involved in bereavement ministry at the parish, both the Utica and New Hartford campuses, and looks forward to an expanded role in nursing home ministry at St. Luke’s Home.
