GIFTS THAT BEAR FRUIT  Samuel Suze
Dear family,
DIOCESAN APPEAL UPDATE This week, we return the Diocesan Appeal bar graph to the bulletin, alongside the weekly progress chart on the front page. The Appeal is how each parish in the Diocese of Albany participates in the larger mission of the Church--supporting vocations, human resources, insurance, the Tribunal, and the many other ministries that allow us to be the Church in our time and place. Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Parish and St. Adalbert Parish have both met their assessments. Congratulations and heartfelt thanks to all who made that possible! St. Paul the Apostle Parish is still working toward its assessment, and we encourage continued generosity as we move forward together. Every contribution brings us closer. Every gift, large or small, makes a difference. A SEMINARIAN IS COMING! I am very pleased to announce that the Diocese of Albany will be sending us a seminarian this summer. Mr. Samuel Zuze, originally from Malawi and currently in Second Theology at St. Joseph's Seminary in Yonkers, New York, will be ministering with us and at the City Mission in downtown Schenectady from June 1 through August 15. Samuel will reside at the Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Rectory during his time with us. Samuel has been walking steadily and faithfully toward the priesthood. On August 1, 2024, he was received as a Candidate for Holy Orders. This is a significant step signifying the Church's formal acceptance of his intention to pursue ordination. Most recently, on April 27, 2026, he was installed as both Lector and Acolyte. These are two of the instituted ministries that mark a seminarian's deepening commitment as he draws closer to the diaconate and priesthood. Samuel's presence among us this summer is a gift. His ministry at the City Mission reflects the pastoral heart that the Church calls all her future priests to develop. We look forward to welcoming him warmly into our parish family. Samuel's arrival is also a beautiful reminder of what the Diocesan Appeal makes possible. One of its most vital purposes is the support of seminarians. Tuition, room, and board are all covered by our Appeal gifts. This means Samuel never receives a bill for his formation. That is because of you. Through our generosity to the Appeal, we all share in the sacred work of forming the priests of tomorrow. Thank you for your kindness. Welcome to Schenectady, Samuel. God's peace, Fr. Frisoni |
