The Parish Pastoral Council has updated its Constitution and Bylaws, and would like parishioners to have the chance to review and comment on the document before the final version is adopted.

Thank you to all who participated in the parish survey and listening sessions, and for your patience in awaiting the results. The summary findings are available by clicking here.

Some new initiatives have started already. For information on them and on immediate needs that the parish has, click  here.

Please contact the parish office at (914) 234-3344 or patrick485@optonline.net to let us know if you have an interest in one of these opportunities or if you would like to start something new, and a member of the Parish Pastoral Council will follow up with you.

May these words of Pope Francis be an inspiration as we work together to build up our parish:

The Church's future in a rapidly changing society will call for a much more active engagement by the laity.  One of the great challenges facing the Church in this generation is to foster in all the faithful a sense of personal responsibility as missionary disciples, as a leaven of the Gospel in our world.  This will require creativity in adapting to changed situations, carrying forward the legacy of the past not primarily by maintaining our structures and institutions, which have served us well, but above all by being open to the possibilities which the Spirit opens up to us and by communicating the joy of the Gospel, daily and in every season of our life. 

The Pastoral Council is working diligently to organize parishioner feedback and suggestions and to create a plan for the parish.  We are identifying which initiatives can be started immediately, which will take a few months to get going, and which are more long-term projects.  Many, many parishioners have already expressed interest in getting more involved in the parish, and so we are also working on a system to facilitate this.
