Today, October 12th, is the feast day of St. Carlo Acutis

Canonized just over a year ago, the “first millennial saint” had a strong devotion to the Eucharist and created a website documenting Eucharistic miracles. His simple, ordinary witness has inspired a generation of young Catholics to reconsider what sainthood can look like.

October 11 ~ Deacon Sunday!

Thank you Deacon Jim, Deacon Dave, and Deacon Mike, for serving our parishes and diocese.

"O Christ, You are the source of all ministry in the Church. In response to the needs of the People of God, through the laying on of hands and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, You have called forth and ordained deacons as servants for our Church.

Continue to sustain those You have called to this ministry so they remain ardent servants with gently hearts, proclaiming the Gospel and service at Your Holy table.

Help them reflect the real and true presence of Christ, the Deacon, to the needy among us. We also give thanks for those who accompany these men in their journey of service – their wives and families, their parish communities, and all those who call them to respond in faith, hope, and love.

Loving Savior, continue to help Your Church affirm our deacons in their service. Together as one family of faith, may all that we say and do give honor and glory to You and draw others ever closer to Your Sacred Heart. Amen."

~ Prayer by Most Rev. Douglas Lucia, bishop of Syracuse, NY

Our first Whole Family Catechesis session of the year was a WILD success!

In celebration of the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, patron saint of animals and creation, we welcomed Herps Alive Reptile Rescue. A HUGE thank you to Keith, who shared his incredible knowledge, introduced us to some fascinating reptiles, and helped our families discover just how amazing God's creation really is!

We loved seeing parents and children learning, laughing, and experiencing something new TOGETHER. That's what Whole Family Catechesis is all about — growing in faith as families and discovering that God is present in every part of our lives (even the slithery parts!).

St. Francis of Assisi, pray for us!

Join us tomorrow to celebrate the patroness of the Diocese of Toledo, Our Lady, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary! We will gather at our Cathedral beginning at 6:30 p.m. to pray the Holy Rosary, followed by Holy Mass at 7:00 p.m. We are delighted to welcome Archbishop Emeritus Allen Vigneron of Detroit as our guest celebrant and homilist. What a beautiful opportunity for the faithful from across our 19 counties to come together in prayer, honor Our Blessed Mother and entrust our Diocese anew to her maternal care and intercession. Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us!
