Faith

ONTARIO — Bishop Salvatore R. Matano confirmed 24 faith-filled young men and women from Our Lady of Guadalupe Mission in Marion during a bilingual liturgy June 26 that took place at St. Mary of the Lake Church in Ontario, which is part of St. Maximilian Kolbe Parish.

The Diocese of Rochester has issued updated guidelines to its parishes in light of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s June 15 order lifting COVID-19 restrictions in New York state.

Revisiting his 2017 pastoral letter opening the diocesan Year of the Eucharist, Bishop Matano urges Catholics to return to in-person Mass attendance and reception of Communion.
