Transfiguration Parish

  We  are a Catholic community united by love, illuminated by the Transfiguration of our Lord Jesus Christ.  We gather as a People of God seeking unity through the Holy Spirit to Worship through the Sacred Liturgy, Prayer and Sacraments, and to proclaim the Christian message which promotes Justice, Reconciliation and Service through Evangelization, Faith Formation and Discipleship

Transfiguration Parish is committed to continual growth in the Catholic Faith through a lifelong union with Jesus Christ, and in service to others through the ministry of the Church. We spread the Good News of His love and promote His Word through evangelization, education, reflection, and daily witness. As faithful stewards we pledge to direct and develop the spiritual, human, financial, and material resources of the Church. We respond to His love with gratitude and prayer, with compassion-ate service, generous sharing, reconciliation and equality for all.

My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

I would like to offer you a gift that you can share with your family, parishioners and lobed ones:
An Act of Consecration to St. Joseph.

Pope Francis has dedicated this year of 2021 to St. Joseph. May I invite you to share this spiritual preparation experience with me, which will culminate in a celebration on All Saints Day, Monday, November 1, 2021 at 5:15 pm. The event will be available via the diocesan livestream: rcd.org/livestream and will take place at out Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. If you prefer, you could also lead the Consecration with those in your care at the weekend Masses. Beginning on Wednesday, September 29, 2021, you and those who would be interested can enter into an easy-to-follow daily prayer and reflection opportunity. It’s called Consecration to St. Joseph: The Wonders of Our Spiritual Father. As a good author, Fr. Donald Calloway, MIC, leads us step-by-step to the Consecration in his very readable book. For all of the resources you need, please visit our dedicated web page, rcd.org/Joseph Consecration or email Renee, our Coordinator of Parish Services & Respect Life Ministry, at renee.morgiewicz@rcda.org.

I look forward to learning from your encounter with God’s Mercy. My prayer is that this Consecration will deepen your own journey of faith, enrich the lives those with whom you share daily, and animate the New Evangelization. Even when this consecration is culminated. St. Joseph’s open heart will remain forever one of our holy doors to the Heart of Jesus!

Lovingly,
Edward B. Scharfenberger
Bishop of Albany

BACKPACK PROGRAM

Donation boxes are at the church entrances for items for our area schools that send home food with children in need, those who may go hungry on the weekend. Suggested items are those non-perishables in single serve containers that are easy for a child to use: mac n' cheese, chili, pastas, cereals, fruits, snacks, etc. Items will be delibered to our local schools on a regular basis. 
This program is still ongoing as the schools are continuing to get the supplies to needy families.
