First Masses

Each of the five men ordained to the priesthood on Saturday will celebrate their first Mass on Sunday, June 13th. First Masses will be taking place in Westmere, Lake George, West Winfield, Albany and Utica. If interested, Fr. Walsh can fill you in on the specific times and places of the First Masses. Open to men of all ages.

 

Monthly Discernment Groups

Men desiring to learn more about priesthood gather monthly to discuss various topics involved in discernment and priesthood. Open to single men ages 18-55.

 

None of the above activities involve a “hard-sell” or involve pressure.

Rather, these activities provide men the tools they need to determine if God is asking them to consider priesthood or not..
