Consecration to Saint Joseph, our spiritual Father
Good afternoon,
On May 1st, the Feast of Saint Joseph, Bishop Terry R. LaValley will consecrate the Diocese of Ogdensburg to Saint Joseph, our spiritual father, for the sake of our families, our marriages, our Church and our sick. You can read Bishop’s letter (attached). The Sisters of Saint Joseph Motherhouse in Watertown will host the Consecration on May 1st at 11:00am. Due to the current health crisis, the Consecration will not be open to the public. You can participate and join us in prayer via livestream here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHJ-rox5a9w&feature=youtu.be
Livestreams and other ways to stay connected to your faith during this time of isolation can be found at www.rcdony.org/covid-19on the Diocese of Ogdensburg YouTube channel and Facebook page.
So grateful for support:
Bishop LaValley, our pastors and the Development Office are so grateful of the continued support during this COVID-19 pandemic isolation. Parish Offertory envelopes are being mailed, dropped off and gifts on-line (where offered), It’s Our Church, It’s Our Future Capital Campaign and Bishop’s Fund Appeal gifts and pledge payments continue to come in via mail and on-line (see below) as well. As we have not been able to gather together to share our faith, the continued support to stay spiritually engaged and the continued generous financial support from parishioners throughout the Diocese of Ogdensburg has been both noticed and appreciated.
“We may be separated due to the health crisis, but we are united in the Body of Christ,” said Bishop LaValley. “Thank you for continuing to pray with us through social media opportunities provided. I want to thank you for continuing to support your parish though Sunday envelopes or special donations as your parish relies on your generous support.” Bishop added “I am so grateful for parish priests who, utilizing creative means, are providing parishioners with spiritual support and pastoral presence that is crucial, especially during times like these. I urge you to contact your parish priest should you or your neighbor have particular needs that they can address. Your loved ones remain in my prayers.”
Please join us here at the Diocese in praying for the end of this pandemic, for the healing of those who are afflicted with this dreadful virus, our health care workers, public safety workers and all those providing essential services.

Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament:
Jesus calls to you: "Could you not watch one hour with Me?"
"In this silence of the white host, carried in the monstrance, are all His words; there is his whole life given in offering to the Father for each of us; there is also the glory of the Glorified Body, which started with the resurrection, and still continues in heavenly union."
[Pope John Paul II, Angelus Address]
"What will convert America and save the world? My answer is prayer. What we need is for every Parish to come before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament in Holy Hours of Prayer."
~Mother Teresa of Calcutta
Adoration is held each Friday beginning directly after morning Mass and closing with Benediction at 7:00 p.m. Please join us and strengthen your relationship with Christ Jesus and simply sit in reverence with our Lord.
