Do You Need Work Done At Your Home?

Catholic Heart Workcamp Can Help!

Catholic Heart Workcamp, a weeklong service camp for teenag-

ers, will be coming to Saranac Lake this summer, with 250 par-

ticipants, and is seeking homes in the Saranac Lake area

(within 45 miles of Saranac Lake) at which a small group of

teenagers and adults can work. Groups will be available to work

on June 2427, from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Typical projects in-

clude: painting homes (both interior and exterior) and garages;

cleaning homes (inside and outside); washing windows; doing

yardwork such as planting, weeding, raking and clearing brush;

staining/painting porches, decks and wheelchair ramps, and

cleaning out garages and basements. In addition, teams may

be able to complete small construction jobs such as building or

repairing railings, porches, steps and wheelchair ramps

(depending on the skill level of the adult chaperone). Our focus

is on the elderly, disabled, and those unable to hire this work to

be done. Those interested in having a CHWC team work at

their home can pick up an application at the parish office. Com-

pleted applications should be mailed to: Jocelyn Kelly, St.

Mary’s Church, PO Box 499, Fort Covington, NY, 12937. They

must be submitted by May 31. For more information contact

Jocelyn Kelly at 5186510786 or email

Workcamp is to share the love of Christ through service and to

inspire participants to live as disciples of Christ. Notice From: AR Of CCBC

WE ARE BACK!!!

From Deacon Garry:

Lenten Journey

Lord God you invite us to enter into these desert days of Lent.

Your Son was filled with the Holy Spirit and then led into the

wilderness where he experienced the emptiness of hunger,

and faced temptations from the Devil. When we stumble and

find this journey difficult, because we are overwhelmed by our

needs and desires, or seek to find a quick escape from trou-

bles, help us to turn to you in our time of want. We ask that

you draw us closer to you, so that we may find nourishment in

your Word, during these forty days of Lent.

We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

An important note about the Capital Campaign:

Payments on pledges should NOT be made out to the

parish, but written out and mailed to: It’s Our Church, It’s

Our Future Diocese of Ogdensburg PO Box 608 Og-

densburg, NY 13669 Thanks so much for your generosi-

ty!

A Letter from the Bishop

March 2019

Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ:

Since its founding in 1946, the North Country Catholic has been

spreading the Good News of our faith and keeping us connected

as a Church family in this expansive diocese. From Champlain to

Constableville, Ogdensburg to Old Forge, Lake Placid to

Lowville, the NCC shares stories of how our neighbors are living

out their faith, information about events and programs, coverage

of Church and world news, as well as reflections on scripture,

prayer and current events.

As Christians, we are called to spread the Good News and pro-

claim the Gospel. To do that, we first have to cultivate our rela-

tionships with Christ. We can’t give away what we don’t have.

We must know Christ and be in relationship with Him to share

Him with others. The North Country Catholic shows us how the

people, organizations and parishes that make up our diocese are

cultivating and sharing relationships with the Lord. Our newspa-

per tells stories of how God is working in and through our neigh-

bors. It shares the stories of the programs and efforts that are

making a difference. It is my hope that you find some inspiration

in those stories. It is my hope that reading about a great idea in

one part of the diocese will stir others to take similar action, pos-

sibly hundreds of miles away.

Certainly, we are living in challenging times. The NCC has been

an effective way for me to communicate with Catholics around

the diocese as we face each challenge that comes our way with

Christ as our guide. The North Country Catholic helps us

strengthen our faith and enables our parish families to stay con-

nected and support one another.

This weekend, the annual North Country Catholic subscription

campaign begins. I ask that every Catholic family subscribe to

our paper. If you are a current subscriber, please renew your

subscription in this week’s campaign. Why not consider obtaining

a subscription as a gift for a family member? I invite those who

don’t currently subscribe to consider how important it is today to

be an informed Catholic Christian and allow our diocesan news-

paper to be a vehicle to help you and your families grow in faith.

I hope that you accept my invitation to welcome the North Coun-

try Catholic into your home. With much gratitude for your prayer-

ful support, I am

Faithfully yours in Christ,

Most Reverend Terry R. LaValley

Bishop of Ogdensburg
