PLANNED GIVING: Give Your House and Continue to Live There
You may want to make a major gift to our parish. Why not consider real estate: This is called a life estate gift. This simply means that you give a piece of real estate, such as your residence, to our parish, obtain a charitable income tax deduction and retrain the right to live there as long as you want. This arrangement removes the property from you estate and relieves your executor from having to dispose of your home at your death. Contact Scott Lalone at the Diocese at 315-393-2920 or Email slalone@rcdony.org for further information.

SAFE ENVIRONMENT CORNER: Did you know? ...
Did You Know…early grooming efforts by sexual predators seek to determine if the child has a stable home life or if the family is facing challenges like divorce, foster care, poverty, illness, drugs, homelessness, etc. Children lacking stability at home are at higher risk for sexual abuse, as there is usually more access to the child and opportunities to abuse the child. Child molesters also target kids who are loners, or who look troubled or neglected. For more information, contact the Safe Environment Office at (315) 393-2920

Take time to tell them that you are praying for them and thank them for their dedication. You never know what your parish priest or pastor is going through, sacrificing out of love for his parishioners.
