Two great opportunities to Connect with the broader Catholic community in our diocese this weekend.

Join us Tonight, Feb 15th at Immaculate Conception Church, downtown Ithaca. Young adults in their 20s and 30s from parishes throughout the entire Ithaca area will gather! Rosary will begin at 5:30 pm and Mass at 6:00 pm which will be followed by a Social. Bring along a friend and/or make new friends! Groups will be taking the TCAT bus (lines 10,30,32, or 51) starting at 5:08 from Anabel Taylor Hall. A group will also be taking bus 32 from Risley at 5:06pm. Immaculate Conception is a 5 min walk from the Seneca bus station.  Follow this link for more bus information: https://tinyurl.com/y38roeun 

This Sunday our Parish will be gathering petition signatures for the annual diocesan-wide Public Policy Weekend. We'll be advocating for basic labor rights for farmworkers. The people who mile cows, tend animals, and harvest fruits and vegetables in New York State are excluded from workplace rights that virtually all other workers in our state have already. See the attached files for more information on the bill we are asking our elected officials to support, called the Farmworkers Fair Labor Practices Act and the issues facing many people in our community. We will have petitions to sign after both Masses this weekend if you wish to support the rights and dignity of farmworkers throughout New York.
