REQUIRED VIRTUS TRAINING
Liturgical ministers must complete Safe Environment training and a criminal background check, reflecting the Diocese’s commitment to protecting the vulnerable. Though they may not regularly interact with children, youth, or vulnerable adults, liturgical ministers serve as safe adults within our parish community. This new policy, effective March 1, 2025, will be implemented over a 2.5-year period, allowing ample time for liturgical ministers in each category to complete the training.
Beginning September 1, 2025, all Sacristans, Adult Altar Servers, Liturgical Ministry Leaders, and Lectors/Readers must complete Safe Environment training by June 30, 2026.
Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion must meet this requirement by December 31, 2025, and members of Music Ministry, including cantors, choir members, and instrumentalists, must complete Safe Environment training by March 31, 2026.
Contact the Office of Safe Environment with any questions at safeenvironment@syrdio.org or call 315.470.1421.

SOUTHERN TIER MENS FELLOWSHIP
January 17th
OLGC Church Hall
9:30 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.
Come hear a talk about prayer and order in prayer! It follows our talks this year about our relationship with Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Prayer is not just saying Hail Mary's and Our Father's, but is a relationship with God that we have with Him and He with us.
The format is consistent with our theme of a free hot breakfast served by the Knights of Columbus, a talk and then small group discussion and final blessing.
If you are not a regular but plan on coming out, please contact the Rectory so we have a better food count for the Knights. If you just want to show up, that is perfectly fine, too.
God bless!
