Faith Formation Information

�

FAITH FORMATION FOR ADULTS�

If you have ever enjoyed participating in a Movie

Night here at St. Catherine’s, or went to a Life and

Faith Session, or took part in a Bible Study or a study

of the Muslim faith, or participated in this summer’s

Science and Religion classes, or if any of this sounds

interesting to you, then you will want to register for

Adult Faith Formation here at St. Catherine’s. Why

are we having you register this year? The answers are

simple: (1) It will help us defray some of the cost of

our Zoom subscription for the year ($2,000); and (2) It

will help us know you better so that we can adapt our

offerings to your needs. The Adult Faith Enrichment

Committee is planning some of the Zoom sessions

that will be offered each month; other members of our

Adult Faith community will be providing sessions;

and we will be utilizing the best of what is offered

through various Catholic and Christian organizations.

When you register, you will receive the Online

Learning Playlist, where you will gain access to a

variety of activities and learning opportunities,

including group activities, individual activities,

service ideas, prayer resources, and more. The

playlists will be released on the 1st and 15th of the

month and will each focus on a specific theme.

Adults should go here to register: https://

tinyurl.com/StCatAdultFF. Fees for faith formation

can be paid through WeShare (https://

stcathofsiena.weshareonline.org/) or by sending a

check to the Parish Office. These links are available on

the parish website for the month of September. For

more information, contact Ann Marie at

[email protected] or 257-2493.

CREATOR, FATHER, GOD�

Our Life and Faith Sessions are moving online. Please

join us for our first session, “Creator, Father, God,”

which will explore the very foundation of our faith—

a belief in God. Ann Marie Eckert will be the

presenter for this Zoom session, which will take place

from 10–11 a.m. on Sunday, October 4, and will be

recorded so that you can watch it anytime after. To

receive the Zoom link, you should consider

registering for Adult Faith Formation (https://

tinyurl.com/StCatAdultFF) or email Ann Marie at

[email protected]. Life and Faith sessions will

happen most Sundays from 10–11 a.m. and will be

recorded for later viewing. The following week,

October 11, our topic will be “Care of Creation,”

exploring how caring for creation is essential to the

fullness of faith and the Church’s mission.

VIRTUAL MOVIE NIGHT �

Please join us for our next Virtual Movie Night on

Wednesday, September 30, at 7 p.m. to discuss the

movie War Room. It is available through streaming

services for $3. Watch the movie on your own, then

join our Zoom discussion to share your ideas,

questions, and thoughts from 7–8:30 p.m. You can find

the Zoom link on our website.

�

CHILDREN’S FAITH FORMATION�

Our Faith Formation year will begin on October 1.

Families with children ages 3–grade 6 have three at-

home options for Faith Formation this year:

�� Option 1: Parish and Family Online Learning Playlists

(encouraged): You will be given access to a

bimonthly virtual learning playlist, which includes

activities for families to do together and for

children to learn independently.

�� Option 2: Faith Curriculum. You can use a more

traditional model where children complete a

chapter each week using a student book and home

lessons. The curriculum will be:

� PreK 3–Kindergarten: Short home-based

lessons that can be completed through

conversations. There are also placemats for each

lesson, which contain coloring sheets, activities,

and reflection questions.

� Grades 1–6: Parents can request specific grade

-level student books for their children to have at

home. The children will then complete a

chapter a week and go online to complete a

review of the chapter.

�� Option 3: Hybrid. Families can complete activities

through the Online Learning Playlist and also

work on lessons through a more traditional

format.

Even though Faith Formation will be conducted

virtually, there will be gatherings for each grade level

each month.

The cost for the year will be $35 per family. This is a

one-time fee that will open up a year of adult, family,

youth, and child faith formation ideas, programs,

virtual gatherings, classes, and service programs. If

you have children who are seeking sacraments, or

choose Option 2 (Faith Curriculum), there will be

additional charges. You can register here: https://

tinyurl.com/stcatff20-21. Fees for faith formation and

youth ministry can be paid through WeShare

(https://stcathofsiena.weshareonline.org/) on our

parish website or by sending a check to the Parish

Office. More information is on our website.



Youth Faith Formation

�

YOUTH FAITH FORMATION�

This year Middle and High School Youth Ministry

will look similar to the way they have in the past—

with the exception that we will be gathering virtually

twice a month. MSYM will continue with

Confirmation preparation and will use the Chosen

curriculum. HSYM will also gather virtually twice a

month and will be focusing on Catholic Social

Teaching. You can register your youth here: https://

tinyurl.com/stcatff20-21. The fee is $35, which can be

paid on our website through WeShare (https://

stcathofsiena.weshareonline.org/) or by sending a

check to the Parish Office.

�

Other Parish Updates

C.A.S.E. TRAINING DATES�

We will be offering virtual Creating a Safe

Environment (C.A.S.E.) training for anyone who will

be working with children or vulnerable adults (even

if you are working with them via Zoom) on the

following dates:

�� Wednesday, October 21, 7–8:30 p.m.

SCRAP COPPER NEEDED�

A parishioner is looking for scrap copper (pipes, etc.)

to create a statue for St. Catherine’s. If you have any

you can donate, please bring it to the Parish Office or

call the office at 257-2493 to arrange pickup. Thank

you!

Volunteer and Advocacy Opportunities

GIFT CARD DONATIONS FOR FOOD�

You might not realize that the Parish Office gets many

requests for grocery store gift cards from people

experiencing food insecurity. As the pandemic

continues, the requests are increasing, and our supply

of gift cards will begin to run low. If you would like to

help, please bring or mail grocery store gift cards

(Tops preferred) in increments of $25 to the Parish

Office, or put them in the Offering Boxes. You can

also send a check marked “Gift Cards” in the memo

section. Many thanks in advance for your generosity.

�

LOAVES AND FISHES NEEDS VOLUNTEERS�

Loaves & Fishes has continued serving all in need

with free meals-to-go since the onset of the

Coronavirus crisis. Currently, they are preparing and

distributing 1,200 meals every week, nearly triple the

number served weekly since they suspended

community dining. Loaves has a pressing need for

new volunteers to help them feed the hungry during

these difficult times. COVID-19 safety protocols and

related volunteer criteria are followed to ensure the

well-being of volunteers and staff. If you are

interested in volunteering, please email

[email protected].

�

40 DAYS FOR LIFE�

From September 23 through November 1, you’re

invited to join other Christians for 40 Days for Life—

40 days of prayer and fasting for an end to abortion.

You’re also invited to stand and peacefully pray

during a 40-day vigil in the public right-of-way

outside Planned Parenthood, 620 W. Seneca St., Ithaca,

and also to help spread the word about this important

community outreach. If you’d like more information,

especially if you’d like to volunteer to help, please

contact: Trish Burgess at [email protected] or Becky

Fluger at [email protected].

THANK YOU FROM THE PASTORAL

FROM THE BOOK OF ANN MARIE�

Dear Parish Family,

Since so many of you are not yet able or ready to return to Mass, I thought I would let you

know about a few things that are happening and have happened here at St. Catherine’s.

None are earth-shaking, but each is meaningful to me.

Last Sunday some of the members of the Ithaca Peace Festival leadership team gathered to

honor the weekend that would have been the 10th annual Ithaca Peace Festival (and the

weather would have been perfect!). We gathered to honor the goals of the festival—peace-making, celebrating

diversity, bringing our community together. We also gathered because we enjoy the work we do together—

the meetings, the emails, the common purpose we are a part of. We celebrated those of you who have been on

the leadership team through the years and all those of you who put on the t-shirt and are a part of the team

that brings the festival to life each year. We are hopeful that we can do the festival again next year—but as

with all things right now, time will tell.

Last Sunday at the 9 a.m. Mass we blessed another 10 or so prayer shawls that have been made over the

summer. Our knitters and crocheters are providing such a beautiful, comforting ministry to our community.

Since the start of the pandemic, at least three or four dozen shawls and lap blankets have been shared with

people who are grieving, sick, or caring for others. Prayer shawl meetings have been happening occasionally

over Zoom, but they do miss the sounds of the needles clicking and the multiple conversations that usually

happen when they meet in person. If you are interested in providing blankets or shawls, please reach out to

Jeanne Luzzi at [email protected].

The Pastoral Council started meeting again for the new year last week and they want to renew the phone

calling ministry that we initiated at the start of the pandemic. Many of you volunteered as callers, and those

of us who called parishioners had some great conversations and got to know some new people. The staff and

Pastoral Council are going to be reaching out again—to find out how you are doing and check in. So, if you

get a call from a number you don’t know, at least listen to the message and call us back if we were the ones

calling!

A number of you came back to church in the past few weeks, and it was lovely to see these “new” faces. It has

been over six months since the start of the pandemic, and in talking to you I learned that Emma, “the baby,” is

now over a year old, Annie just turned five, Irene really needed to be back at Mass (“watching from home just

isn’t the same”), Lisa did get the new car she so badly needed, and more. I have also had a few conversations

with people I didn’t previously know—college students from Buffalo (Go Bills!), a family of five who recently

arrived (what a hard time to meet people!), and a few families from neighboring states who are doing a close-

to-home vacation in our area. Mask-wearing and social distancing are essential—but it is still so important to

talk to people, catch up, say hello, and be welcoming. It has been fun to watch folks chatting in the parking lot

and trying to maintain community.

We have about fifteen people in our community who are working on making masks for the hundreds of kids

in the Ithaca school district whose families aren’t able to provide cloth masks for them. We are a part of a

community-wide effort to ensure that these children have the masks they need to attend school each day—

without the expense and perhaps the stigma of the paper masks that would need to be provided. People are

so generous with their time and expertise in these types of situations, and I am always happy when we can

make those connections between our parishioners and needs in the community. With that in mind, just a final

note to ask you to be as generous as possible to Catholic Charities through either your participation in the

Neighbors Helping Neighbors Pasta Dinner that is happening this Friday, October 2 (see page 4 to learn how

to make your reservation) or by making a donation to them (https://53718.thankyou4caring.org/). The work

they do in our community is so important!

If there are things that are happening that I haven’t mentioned, please reach out and share a story with me!

Peace,

MINISTERS SCHEDULE FOR OCTOBER 3�4�

OPEN�WIDE�OUR�HEARTS: CATHOLICS STAND AGAINST RACISM�

“Racism comes in many forms. It can be seen in deliberate, sinful acts. In recent times, we have seen bold

expressions of racism by some groups as well as individuals. The re-appearance of symbols of hatred, such as

nooses and swastikas in public spaces, is a tragic indicator of rising racial and ethnic animus. All too often,

Hispanic and African Americans face discrimination in hiring, housing, educational opportunities, and

incarceration. Racial profiling frequently targets Hispanics for selective immigration enforcement practices,

and African Americans for suspected criminal activity. There is also growing fear and harassment of persons

from majority Muslim countries. Extreme nationalist ideologies are feeding the American public discourse

with xenophobic rhetoric that instigates fear against foreigners, immigrants, and refugees. Finally, too often

racism comes in the form of the sin of omission, when individuals, communities, and even churches remain

silent and fail to act against racial injustice when it is encountered.”

good will. We praise you, we bless you, we adore you, we

glorify you, we give you thanks for your great glory, Lord

God, heavenly King, O God, almighty Father. Lord Jesus

Christ, Only Begotten Son, Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of

the Father, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy

on us; you take away the sins of the world, receive our

prayer; you are seated at the right hand of the Father, have

mercy on us. For you alone are the Holy One, you alone are

the Lord, you alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ, with the

Holy Spirit, in the glory of God the Father. Amen.

Gospel Dialogue



Priest: A reading from the holy Gospel according to _____.

People: Glory to you, O Lord.

Profession of Faith (Apostles’ Creed)

I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and

earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was

conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary,

suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was

buried; he descended into hell; on the third day he rose again

from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and is seated at the

right hand of God the Father almighty; from there he will

come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy

Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the

forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life

everlasting. Amen.

Invitation to Prayer

Father.

our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us;

and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

now and for ever.

PRAYERS AND RESPONSES WITHIN THE MASS �

PRAYER OF SPIRITUAL COMMUNION�

My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most

Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I

desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at

this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least

spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were

already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never

permit me to be separated from You. Amen.
