This book is designed to assist you on a pilgrimage centered on the Eucharist. Each day take some time to read and reflect on the readings, pray the Spiritual Communion and incorporate the virtue of the day into your daily activities. On January 5 1:30 there will be a Prayer Service at Historic St Mary’s Church in Albany followed by a Pilgrimage 3:00 there will be a Mass at the Cathedral to culminate the Eucharistic Consecration and Open the Jubilee Year of 2025.

Mondays, 11AM to 12 noon Thursdays, 6PM to 7PM Schaghticoke Presbyterian Church Fellowship Hall Wear comfortable clothes & sneakers; bring a water bottle.

Fr Martin Kordel will assume responsibility for the celebration of the 9:00 Mass in Schaghticoke. Fr Kordel is the administrator at St Augustine’s Church in Lansingburgh. Beth Thayer will remain Parish Life Coordinator here at Transfiguration Parish. This is being done to ease the responsibilities that have been placed on retired priest. It should be noted that Fr Ed did not request this change.

The Albany Diocese has requested all “Kindness Matters” signage be removed and brought indoors for the winter. Thank you.

Will take place on Sunday, December 15 from 2:00PM—3:00PM in front of Planned Parenthood, 1040 State Street, Schenectady. Please join us for an hour of Christmas caroling to bring hope & joy to the place of misery & despair. Children’s lives have been saved when their mothers heard the carols and reconsidered their “choice” in light of the Christmas story. Dress for the weather for this outdoor event. All we need are voices, we’ll have songbooks and an empty manger to gather around.
