We are a Roman Catholic Church located at 113 N. Geneva Street in Ithaca, NY. Whether you are a long-time parishioner or a first time visitor, we’re glad you are here. This is where we gather to meet as brothers and sisters to share our Catholic faith, worship and encounter our Lord, Jesus Christ through the Eucharist. We strive to make our parish a community of God’s love, and communion of hearts. Please join us!
St. Anthony: Miracle Worker of Padua (2003). In Italian with subtitles, this is the first feature-length film about the twelfth-century saint best known for helping you find your keys. Hoping to become a knight in his native Lisbon, Anthony is a headstrong youth who almost murders his best friend in a duel. As penance, Anthony makes a vow to become a monk. He enters the Augustinian canons but is soon caught up with the lure of Francis of Assisi, who accepts him into his Order of Friars Minor. The movie successfully conveys the saint’s conversion, the appeal of the simple life and the miraculous deeds reported in his lifetime. The only drawback is that, if medieval portraiture is to be believed, the film’s Anthony looks more like Francis of Assisi than the fellow who plays Francis of Assisi. Run time is 95 minutes.

15TH SUNDAY OF ORDINARY TIME
The mission of the whole Church is to proclaim the gospel of Christ in a credible manner, and with humility, for the same reasons for which Christ sent his disciples to preach in his time. We are not called to invent the message nor decorate it, but to proclaim the gospel which is Christ centered. Proclamation, which is not Christ centered, is devoid of divine power. How can the proclamation be effective in touching and transforming the lives of the listeners? It has to draw people to Christ through repentance. This is what Christ Himself preached, repentance. When the disciples were sent two by two it was mainly to preach the need of repentance as a way to welcome the advent of the kingdom of God. All the baptized are called to proclaim the message of salvation by word and deed. It is a privilege to share in the saving mission of our Lord. Let’s do this with love, joy, and enthusiasm. May the Mother of Our Lord intercede for us in this noble endeavor.
In receiving the body of Christ we are strengthened to be the body of Christ in the world.
The Blessed Mother, Mary. is our parish patroness and the true model of faith. We honor her through prayers of intercession.
Our mission includes striving to be a community of God's love and service in our community and the world.
