This is Fr. Adam J. Feisthamel’s first weekend with us in Schenectady. We thank the Lord for the gift of his priesthood and for calling him to this ministry. We also thank Bishop Scharfenberger for sending us Fr. Feisthamel.
May God bless you on your journey. Please be assured of our prayers. Welcome, Father!
God’s peace,

THE STEPS OF ST. ADALBERT
Dear family,
Greetings in the Lord. For the past year, we have observed the deteriorating condition of the steps of St. Adalbert. The orange cones closing off certain staircases were necessary for everyone's safety. The steps are under significant strain with winters here in New York. In the past year, we received three proposals to repair and replace our damaged front steps. We also wish to address the condition of the iron rails.
We are replacing the center staircase. We are repairing the left and right staircases. All staircases will receive new iron railings. Temporary railings will be in place while we await the permanent railings. The ramp and the left entrance from Lansing Street will remain open at all times. After the project for the rails and steps, we will grade and re-pave the road between the church and the rectory. The entire cost is about $100,000.
The project will not affect the celebration of our Masses. Although we may find a staircase or two closed for access, we will still be able to enter our church. The contractor is aware of our Sunday Masses and any other Masses we schedule.
Thank you for your patience and understanding while this major project is in process. And thank you for your kind support.
