Rooted in Faith, Growing in Hope

Our 2025 Hope Appeal Campaign will begin the weekend of September 20th and 21st.

The HOPE appeal invites all of us throughout our diocese to come together as one to strengthen our church and serve our community. Your gifts truly make a difference in supporting the programs and ministries in our community including Social Justise, Catholic Leadership and Parish Communities. Let’s stand together during this Jubilee Year of Hope.

  Support of Catholic Charities, Catholic Deaf Ministry and Jail Ministry is part of this category.

Father Hage and Father Pawel will be attending the annual Clergy Convocation for the Diocese of Syracuse, which will take place this year from Tuesday, September 16th until Wednesday, September 17th.

This annual gathering allows our bishop and his priests and deacons to come together for prayer, reflection, and fellowship. This event helps keep our priests and deacons united with the bishop and with one another. Please keep our bishops, priests, and deacons in prayer as they gather for this time of renewal.

• *Please note that there will be No 6:45am Daily Mass at Lourdes on the morning of Tuesday, September 16th due to the Annual Clergy Convocation.
• There will also be No 6:45am daily Mass at St. John’s in New Hartford on Wednesday, September 17th for the same reason.
• We will still be able to offer the 8:15am daily Mass on Tuesday, September 16th at Rosary as well as the 8:15am daily Mass on Wednesday, September 17th at Lourdes during the Convocation.

• Beginning **Sunday, September 21st** (Catechetical Sunday)
• The **8:30am Sunday Mass** will now be celebrated at **8:15am**

Why the change?
Our families and catechists have asked for a little extra time on Sunday mornings to be with their children for our **Family Life Catechesis program.**

This gentle shift allows us to better serve our families and to pass on the faith to the next generation of Catholics in the Utica area.

We know this may be an adjustment for parishioners not directly involved in Family Life Catechesis, and we are deeply grateful for your flexibility and support.

Your willingness to embrace this new time is a powerful way to encourage our families, strengthen our parish community, and help form disciples for years to come.

Please mark your calendars for Sunday, September 21st!

Our Parochial Vicar, Fr. Pawel has graciously offered to lead our parish in a four-week Bible Study every Wednesday during the month of September.

Fr. Pawel will guide us through the Book of Revelation, which is well-known for its apocalyptic and prophetic themes.

• Please note that this week’s Bible Study on September 17th will take place at 6:30pm in the Seton Center to accommodate the annual Clergy Convocation.
• The Bible Study will return to the 9:00am meeting time the following Wednesday on September 17th.

For the very first time, our parish is participating in Mohawk Valley Gives a community-wide celebration of generosity that supports local charitable organizations throughout the Mohawk Valley! This is a wonderful opportunity not only to support many worthy causes in our region, but also to remember your own parish home Mary, Mother of Our Savior as you give.

Every gift strengthens our mission of revealing the compassionate face of God, accompanying families in life’s most important moments, and inspiring the next generation of Catholics right here in Utica. We invite you to prayerfully consider making a gift to our parish this week during Mohawk Valley Gives.

Let’s show the Mohawk Valley the joy, faith, and hope that shine from our parish family!
