Our Heros
of the Southern Tier of New YorkOur local Roman Catholic priests stand as true heroes, embodying the love and compassion of Christ in every aspect of their ministry. They tirelessly serve their parishes, not merely as spiritual leaders but as guardians of hope and unity. Each day, they provide guidance, celebrate sacraments, and comfort the grieving, ensuring no one feels abandoned in their struggles. Their work often extends far beyond the walls of the church, reaching into schools, hospitals, and homes, where they become a source of solace and inspiration. These men dedicate their lives to selfless service, carrying the burdens of their parishioners with grace while reminding them of the unyielding presence of God’s love.
In the broader community, as our priests and deacons shine beacons of integrity and moral leadership. They advocate for social justice, support the marginalized, and foster interfaith dialogue to promote understanding and peace. Whether visiting the sick, organizing food drives, or mentoring the youth, they tirelessly work to heal wounds and build bridges. Their steadfast commitment to living the Gospel’s message, often at great personal sacrifice, is a testament to their heroism. In a world hungry for authenticity and compassion, these priests serve as living examples of what it means to lead a life of purpose, embodying Christ’s call to love and serve one another.
Of course, they could not do what they do without their staff – secretaries, volunteers, maintenance support team, Director of Religious Education and their staff and volunteers, School Principal, teachers, staff, etc. They are all heros!
But without the sacrifices of the priests and deacons, where would we be?
