Looking forward to PRIDE Month!
As we enter June, All Saints once again joins in the global celebration of the LGBTQIA+ PRIDE Month! In honor of the celebration, we will raise our new Flag (pictured here) proudly proclaiming that “All Are Welcome” here at our Parish! The Flag was designed by our always creative LGBTQIA+ Taskforce.
Our Task Force has a full lineup of events to celebrate and affirm our
LGBTQIA+ community! Now more than ever, our presence matters.
We begin the month by raising a new Pride flag that reflects our commitment to being a truly welcoming faith community for all.
June 6 & 7: We celebrate Pride Weekend at all Masses with a reflection offered by our parishioner Liz Saarie and Fr. Fred.
June 9 at 7pm:All Saints will host the Annual Interfaith Pride Service, a gathering of faith communities celebrating our LGBTQIA+ siblings. All are welcome and encouraged to attend.
June 13: All Saints will once again participate in the CNY Pride Parade & Festival. The parade steps off at 11am. All are invited to march with Fr. Fred and the Task Force. Look for our church van in the staging area at the Destiny USA Solar Street parking lot. Please arrive by 10:30am.
Marching together with Fr. Fred sends a strong, unmistakable message to the wider CNY LGBTQIA+ community: you are beloved, you are seen, and you have a home at All Saints! It also communicates to our diocesan leadership that All Saints remains steadfast in the Gospel call to justice, dignity, and inclusion.
And it’s genuinely a joyful event, a chance to celebrate who we are as a parish where all are welcome, to show our solidarity with love and laughter, and to stand together in the spirit of community.
June 18: Join us at NBT Stadium for Pride Night with the Syracuse Mets. It’s $1 Thursday—a great night for community fun.
June 24: We will be at St. Joseph’s Health Hospital for their annual Pride Fair.
All are welcome. Your presence makes a difference. All Pride Events are at https://www.cnypride.org/pride-events

Crowning Mary
As we bring the month of May to a close, in keeping with tradition, we will Crown Mary the Mother of God, hailing her as Queen of our hearts and Queen of peace!

Pope Leo XIV issues new Encyclical!
Last Monday, our Pope Leo XIV issued the most authoritative document yet of his still-young pontificate and in it directed the Catholic Church's moral gaze toward the frantic pace of technological development that threatens human solidarity. With AI as its entry point, Leo uses his first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas ("Magnificent Humanity") on safeguarding the human person in the time of artificial intelligence, to articulate the church's position on a wide range of contemporary crises, including war, modern slavery, wealth inequality, the erosion of democracy and the devaluing of human capacities. There is a great deal for all of us to learn and absorb from this document.
Link to the encyclical here:
