We are so pleased that you chose to celebrate with us this weekend. We warmly
invite you to active participation in our liturgical celebration. Please feel free to
approach one of our Ministers of Hospitality if you are in need of any assistance. No
matter what your present status in the Catholic Church, your current family or
marital situation, your past or present religious affiliation; no matter what your
personal history, age, background, sexual orientation, gender, race, or color; no
matter what your self-image or self-esteem: YOU are invited, welcomed, accepted,
loved, and respected at St. Catherine of Siena Church in Ithaca, New York.
MERCY IN OUR CITY
This year our parish Christmas gift was Mercy in the City by Kerry Weber. In the book, the author chronicles her
attempt to carry out all seven corporal works of mercy in one Lenten season. As Weber discovers, the works of
mercy are not acts to be completed but a process to get started:
The thing is, it’s easy to imagine yourself doing great works of mercy. It’s
easy to have good intentions. What’s difficult is that follow-through,
because God didn’t challenge us to commit to the Corporal Works of
Mercy for forty days. God challenges us to commit to a lifestyle—and a
lifetime—of mercy. And that’s not easy, because maybe in the end, the
Works of Mercy aren’t things that can be completed the way one can finish
playing a board game or painting a picture. Each act is not an isolated
incident, but a part of a process, akin to sweeping the floor. You have to do
it regularly or things begin to get messy. (p. 12)
Over the next few months, we would like to point you to some ways that you can begin to commit to a lifestyle of
mercy, right here in our own city. This week we will begin with ways to help feed the hungry.
Loaves and Fishes at St. John’s Episcopal Church in downtown Ithaca provides free hot nutritious meals and
hospitality each weekday, as well as referrals for basic services such as housing, medical, food, and clothing. They
need volunteers for food preparation, serving, and especially cleanup on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays
between 9 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. and Tuesdays and Thursdays between 2:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. They are also in need of
on-call volunteers. To volunteer, call 272-5457 or email [email protected]. For more information, see
www.loaves.org.
The Ithaca Kitchen Cupboard is a food pantry located in the Ithaca Corps Center of the Salvation Army on N.
Albany Street run by Area Congregations Together (ACT), a group of local faith communities. The food pantry is
open five days a week from 1:30–3 p.m. Volunteers from ACT member congregations take turns handing out a
week’s supply of food to eligible families; as a member of ACT, St. Catherine’s is responsible for staffing the food
pantry on the second and fourth Monday of each month. Volunteers are also needed to deliver the food collected
in the baskets at the Church doors to the food pantry weekly. To volunteer or for more information, contact Maria
Negley at [email protected].
In addition to these opportunities for regular volunteer work, there are also some yearly opportunities. Later in
the summer, our Peace & Justice Committee coordinates a meal for migrant farm workers in King Ferry; and the
Feed My Starving Children Ithaca MobilePack will take place in September. Look for more information about
both events this summer. Let’s get started on this process of mercy together.

ST. CATHERINE’S NEEDS YOU!
This year, two members of our Pastoral Council will
be stepping down after serving two three-year terms.
I want to publicly thank Mary Lee Noden and Colleen
Perkins for their tireless service to our community and
for sharing their amazing wisdom with me in guiding
our community. I cannot lead this community
without the assistance of the Pastoral Council. The
primary role of the Council is to share with me what
the pastoral priorities ought to be for our community.
If the Holy Spirit has gifted you with wisdom,
knowledge of our community, the skill of listening,
the gift of communication, and prophetic vision, then
this is the job for you. I ask each member of our
community to prayerfully discern whether you can
submit your name as a member of the council. Please
keep our community ever in your prayers.

FEED MY STARVING CHILDREN YARD SALE
Once again this year, the Church of Latter Day Saints
(LDS) will be hosting a community-wide yard sale to
support the Feed My Starving Children Ithaca
MobilePack. There are three ways you can help:
 Come and shop at the yard sale! It is held on
Saturday, June 18, from 9 a.m.–2 p.m. There are
great deals to be had and you are supporting a
great cause!
 Put aside things to donate to the yard sale. They
accept clothing, furniture (not mattresses),
household goods, tools, jewelry and scarves, and
almost anything else you might have. St.
Catherine’s will have a few dropoff times at the
beginning of June, or (even better) you can drop
things off directly at the LDS Church on June 16
(evening) or June 17 (morning).
 Help get ready for the yard sale on Friday, June
17. We want a whole team from St. Catherine’s
that is willing to sort and price the goods.
St. Catherine’s will be hosting the Ithaca MobilePack
in 2017 and 2018, so we are building relationships
with all the key stakeholders in this wonderful
community-wide event. Thanks for any help you can
give to the yard sale—and save some time on
September 22, 23, or 24, 2016, to participate in this
year’s MobilePack!
PIANO CONCERT—SAVE THE DATE
Mark your calendar! On Sunday, May 15, at 3 p.m.,
we will hold a benefit piano concert by Nancy Radloff
featuring works by famous teachers, including Franz
Joseph Haydn, Muzio Clementi,
Ludwig van Beethoven, Franz Liszt,
and Edward MacDowell. Dr. Radloff
will be joined by Adelaide Tracey on
trumpet. Dr. Radloff has an earned
doctorate in performance from the
Peabody Conservatory of Music, Johns Hopkins
University. She has performed throughout the
Midwest and Eastern states on piano and pipe organ.

Formation (CFF), Middle School Youth Ministry
(MSYM), and High School Youth Ministry (HSYM),
will not be gathering on May 1 due to spring break. In

Mother’s Day and the May Crowning of Mary. All
sessions will resume on May 15, with the exception of
High School Youth Ministry.
MAY CROWNING—MAY 8

Families are invited to bring flowers
to contribute in honor of Mary.
There will be no Faith Formation
sessions on this day so that all of our
children can attend and participate in this ceremony
honoring Mary. This is the same day as Mother’s Day!
What a lovely day to celebrate Mary and all of our
mothers. We hope to see you there!
HANDS OF CHRIST AWARD HONOREES
This Sunday, May 1, at the 11:30 am Mass we will
honor our high school seniors who received the Hands
of Christ award from the Diocese of Rochester. This
award is given to seniors in high school who have
been the “hands of Christ” for their community,
school, and parish. These individuals are leaders in the
community and role models for their peers, younger
children, and adults. We want to congratulate these
seniors for receiving the 2016 Hands of Christ award:
Amy DeGaetano, Bridget Fetsko, Elizabeth Jesch, Cali
Michele Johnson, Aidan Mackenzie, Yaateh Richardson,
Francis Schickel, and Leah Walker. We are incredibly
proud of all of them and their accomplishments and
will continue to pray for them as they transition into
the college phase of their lives!
Stewardship Opportunities
CARE FOR OUR COMMON HOME DURING
THE JUBILEE OF MERCY
While Jesus was on earth he modeled a life based on
simplicity and love of God and neighbor. Jesus
entrusted us, his followers, to carry on his work.
“Purchasing is always a moral—and not simply
economic—act. Today, in a word, the issue of
environmental degradation challenges us to examine
our lifestyle.” (Pope Francis, Laudato Si, section 206.)
We who live in the United States use a far greater
share of the earth’s resources than others. Are we
willing to buy smaller, more fuel-efficient cars and
homes, trade in our electronics less frequently, shop
less, and eat sustainably? Choose one change and try
to make it a new habit.

From the Book of Ashley
Dear Parish Family,
This weekend at the 11:30 a.m. Mass we will be celebrating eight high school seniors who
received the Diocese of Rochester’s Hands of Christ award for their service and leadership in
their school, church, and community. I want to take this chance to tell you about them.
Cali Michele Johnson will continue to attend Tompkins County Community College in the fall with a focus on
nursing. Cali has a great love for her family, friends, and animals. She has never been afraid to step up if she
sees injustice. I saw all of this while traveling to the D.R. with her. Although her heart was in the right place, I
had to tell her many times not to touch the malnourished dogs in Monte Plata! Cali comes alive when she gets
to help those around her.
Francis Schickel exudes leadership. He is completely in his element when he is in a leadership position,
whether as part of the Youth Ministry Advisory Board or helping to coordinate the Easter Egg Hunt. You can’t
help but be intrigued with what he has to say. He has this unique ability to know when he needs to step up and
when he can hang out and joke around with friends. Francis will be attending Notre Dame in the fall with a
focus on economics.
Amy DeGaetano has a gentle, quiet spirit. Over the years Amy has been a sponsor for R.C.I.A. and our trainer
for new altar servers, and she is currently a Eucharistic Minister. St. Catherine’s has been a huge part of her life
and she has had a lasting impact on our community. Amy has not quite decided whether she will be attending
Cornell or Geneseo next year, but does plan on studying to be a surgical physician’s assistant.
You might not know that we have Aidan Mackenzie to thank for our parish garden. The garden was his Eagle
Scout project, and last summer it produced hundreds of pounds of produce for Loaves and Fishes. Aidan has an
amazing drive to achieve and asks the really hard questions about life, religion, and justice issues. He has the
perfect amount of perseverance and determination to make a difference. Aidan will attend the College of
Wooster to study philosophy.
Elizabeth Jesch has a genuine, sincere, and pure soul. The depth of love she feels for her family, especially her
younger brother, Peter, is truly incredible. Elizabeth loves being of service to others and has been a consistent
part of youth ministry and liturgy here at St. Catherine’s. Ithaca College is receiving a beautiful gift next year, as
Elizabeth plans to study health sciences with a focus in global and public health there.
Yaateh Richardson has been the social butterfly of HSYM. He knew how to liven up the gatherings and how to
make us laugh. I enjoyed watching Yaateh while attending NCYC, where he initiated the dancing, singing,
laughing, and comradery of our NCYC participants. I know that Yaateh will make friends as soon as he steps
onto the campus of MIT, where he will be studying science.
I am truly excited to see what Leah Walker will achieve during her life. She is intelligent, driven, and focused. I
am amazed by her knowledge of language and the world around her. I will never forget the moment I was able
to see Leah let loose at NCYC; one moment, she was sitting and listening to the music while taking in the scene,
and the next moment, she was on her feet dancing and smiling from ear to ear! Leah will be studying
international relations at Michigan State University.
I am in awe of Bridget Fetsko. Her love of service, especially when it involves children, is inspiring. For the last
couple of years, Bridget has coordinated the children’s games at the International Peace Festival. While traveling
to the D.R., we would quite often lose Bridget at the Portal, only to find her in the baby room holding a sleeping
baby. Bridget will head to the Rochester Institute of Technology next year to study photojournalism with a
possible double major in international and global studies.
These students truly exemplify what it means to put your faith into action. We wish them all the blessings of a
successful first year at college and look forward to their visits home.
God bless,
A vibrant Catholic Community where all are welcomed, challenged, and supported in their life’s journey.
