This weekend, our pastor, Father Jason Hage, will be running in his first full marathon the Great New York State Marathon in Syracuse, New York! Father Hage is dedicating every mile of this 26.2-mile race to the cause of priestly vocations in the Diocese of Syracuse. As the Director of the Office of Vocation Promotion, Father Hage works tirelessly to encourage and accompany young men discerning God’s call to the priesthood.

Through this marathon effort affectionately nicknamed “The Great NYS Run for Vocations!” he hopes to raise awareness and support for the St. Thomas Aquinas Fund, which provides for the education and formation of our future priests. Please keep Father Hage in your prayers this weekend as he runs the Great New York State Marathon for this important cause. Let’s join him in praying for more young men to courageously answer the call to serve Christ and His Church as priests.

Let’s cheer on Father Hage as he runs the race for vocations and the future of our Church!

Saturday, November 1st at 9:00am (Lourdes Campus)

The Solemnity of All Saints is a beautiful day when the Church celebrates all the holy men and women known and unknown who now rejoice in heaven. It is a reminder of our own universal call to holiness and the communion we share with all the saints who inspire us by their example.

This year, because November 1st falls on a Saturday, the obligation to attend Mass is abrogated (lifted).

In other words, this is not a Holy Day of Obligation. However, our parish warmly invites you to join us for a special Mass at 9:00am at Our Lady of Lourdes Church to honor the saints and seek their intercession. Come celebrate this great feast of joy and hope as we remember that we, too, are called to become saints!

All Saints/All Souls: Mass of Remembrance

Please join us on Monday, November 3, 2025 at 6:30pm on our Lourdes Campus for a Mass of Remembrance for all parishioners who have died in the past year.

Families will be invited to light a votive candle in honor of their deceased loved ones at this Solemn Mass.

If you would like a loved one remembered at this Mass please contact our Parish Office at (315) 724- 3155 no later than October 6th.

Please leave the name of your loved one and the number of people that will be attending the Mass. Thank you.

Support The 2025 Hope Appeal

“A Gift to the HOPE Appeal is a Gift to Our Parish!”

Each year, the HOPE Appeal unites Catholics across our diocese in love and service to those most in need. Your generosity feeds hungry families, supports our Catholic school students, forms our youth in the faith, cares for the sick through hospital chaplains, and helps educate our future priests.

Our parish goal for 2025 is $94,200. If each household prayerfully considers a gift of $250 about 68¢ a day or $20 a month we will easily reach our goal once again!

Every dollar raised beyond our goal comes directly back to our parish to strengthen our ministries and outreach here at Mary, Mother of Our Savior.

Our Parish Goal is $94,200

Every dollar raised beyond our goal comes directly back to our parish.

Thank you for your generosity and your witness of faith, hope, and love!

The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) is the process by which adults explore the Catholic faith and prepare to enter fully into the life of the Church through the Sacraments of Initiation Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist.

OCIA is not a class or a program it’s a journey of faith. Participants grow in their relationship with God, learn the teachings of the Church, and experience the warm accompaniment of our parish community. There are no tests, no pressure, and no obligations just an open invitation to explore and discover.

If you are unbaptized, baptized in another Christian tradition, or a Catholic who never received Confirmation or First Communion, we welcome you! OCIA meets twice a month.

For more information, please contact Fr. Pawel Zmija at pzmija@syrdio.org.

In the second reading we hear Paul say he bears everything so those who are chosen may obtain salvation.

How much are we willing to bear in ministry for the salvation of those around us, and how are we called to bear it?
