Seeing Christ on the Streets

Open to all parishes in the Eastern Region - First Annual Outreach Symposium: Seeing Christ on the Streets

An Evening on Homelessness, Human Dignity & Christian Outreach.

Before homelessness is a problem to be solved, there is a person to be encountered. Come learn how.

Tuesday, September 15, 2026 from 5:30pm - 8:30pm
Seton Center, 2 Barton Ave, Utica, NY 13502 (On the campus of Mary, Mother of Our Savior Parish)

Featured keynote speakers

• Mary Radford, LMSW - Director of Social Work, Emmaus Ministry of Syracuse.
  Mary brings extensive experience in social work and outreach to individuals and families experiencing homelessness, poverty, and vulnerability.
• Sheila Austin, RN - Executive Director & President, Emmaus Ministry of Syracuse.
  Sheila has helped build and lead Emmaus Ministry, a Catholic outreach serving the poor, marginalized, and people experiencing homelessness with dignity and compassion. Learn from those who have walked the road.

We aren't gathering simply to talk about homelessness. We are gathering to discern what the parish in our region might do about it. This conversation will help shape what comes next.

Evening highlights

• Two keynote presentations
• Full Utica dinner
  (chicken riggies, Utica greens and other local favorites!)
• Community panel roundtable discussion
  featuring local Catholic outreach leaders from across our region
• Time for questions, conversation & discernment

Come hungry. Come curious. Come ready to listen.
Free event • Utica dinner included

RSVP by Sunday, September 13th.

Bible Study

Parish Bible Study: The Minor Prophets

Ancient Voices. A Living Word. A Call for Today.

This September, go deeper into God’s Word with Father Pawel as we explore the Twelve Minor Prophets of the Old Testament.

Over four weeks, we will discover who these prophets were, the world in which they lived, and the messages God entrusted to them. Though written centuries ago, their words still speak powerfully to our lives today calling us to deeper faith, conversion of heart, justice, hope, and trust in God’s mercy.

Studying Sacred Scripture is about more than gaining knowledge. It is an opportunity to encounter the living God, grow as disciples of Jesus Christ, and allow His Word to shape the way we live and serve others.

Wednesdays: September 2, 9, 16 & 23
9:00 AM | Seton Center
Immediately following morning Mass

Whether you have studied the Bible for years or are just beginning, you are welcome! Bring your Bible, bring your questions, and come discover what God may be saying to you through these ancient prophetic voices.

No previous Bible study experience is necessary. Coffee and donuts will be provided! Come open the Scriptures with us and let God’s Word speak anew.
