​Dear family,
​
First, as you may have noticed during prayer at many of our Masses, we pray actively for vocations to the priesthood and the consecrated life in the Diocese of Albany, that more young men and women may respond favorably to God's call.  Our prayers are very effective!  I am pleased to share that there is a young man from St. Paul the Apostle Parish who is making an important step this week in discerning a call to serve God's Church as a priest.
He is Anthony Leo, son of Michael and Yvonne Leo, and brother of Sr. Angela Marie Leo, CR.  On Saturday, April 1, Anthony moves into the St. Issac Jogues House of Formation and Pre-Seminary in Albany.  There are about twelve men who live in the house, all of whom are placing their discernment on priestly ministry in the hands of the Holy Spirit.  (The St. Issac Jogues House of Formation is funded entirely by our annual Diocesan Appeal contributions.)  The LORD has formed from St. Paul the Apostle Parish two vocations to the consecrated life in the past twenty years:  Sr. Laurie Marie Parisi, CR; and Sr. Angela, CR, Anthony's sister. Let us together praise the Lord for Anthony's openness to explore this call and let us pray for Anthony on his journey of discernment.

Second, this coming week is a very important opportunity for Lenten growth in the gift of understanding.  As the second gift of the Holy Spirit that perfects the theological virtue of faith, understanding enables one to see more deeply into the mysteries of the faith and judge with certainty all created things.  We welcome Dr. Ryan Messmore from New Hampshire on Wednesday evening to enrich us with an exposition on Andrei Rublev's icon of the Triune God.  Please join us at 6:30PM on Wednesday, March 29 at St. Paul the Apostle Parish Center.

God's peace be with you,

​Fr. Frisoni
