I want you to know that if you need to talk, or want to go to Confession or have any kind of sacramental need I am happy to be of service, you can call or text me at: (607) 288-2350. You can also text me, or leave me a voicemail with prayer intentions that I can lift up to God.

I also want you to know that if you have any other need of any kind (groceries, medication, etc.) you are welcome to call or text our office 7 days a week 8 am - 10 pm at 607-241-0821 and we will do our best to help you or connect you with someone that can help you.

In this time of uncertainty it is important to maintain structure and first in that structure has to be our relationship with God. Even though the current government regulations regarding the prohibition of gatherings of more than 10 people have made our ministry difficult we are doing all we can to make sure to support your spiritual life and reassure you at every moment that God has not abandoned you and never will. For this purpose we are streaming online Monday through Saturday three moments of prayer each day: Mass at 9 am (Aprox.35 minutes), The Angelus Prayer at 12 noon followed by intentions and lighting of candles to our blessed Mother (Aprox. 10 minutes) and Adoration and Benediction with the Most Blessed Sacrament at 8:30 pm (Aprox. 30 minutes). We want to make sure that through this time we can remain close to Jesus and Mary.

During Adoration we will be praying with different methods of prayer or different devotions each day, so this might also become an opportunity for you to grow in your faith and learn some new methods of prayer or devotions. This might also be a great opportunity to help your children grow in their faith by attending Mass online each day, praying the Angelus and Praying before Jesus truly present in the Most Holy Eucharist each night.

On the weekends we will live stream the Celebration of Holy Mass on Saturdays at 4:30pm from St. Anthony's, and on Sundays at 8:30 am from Holy Cross, and 10:30 am from Father's chapel.

You can join any of these live streams by going to our website: www.netcatholic.org and clicking on "Watch the Mass", "Pray the Angelus" or "Join Adoration" or simply by following us on Facebook or going to our Facebook page even if you do not have a Facebook account, our Facebook page is NET Catholic. You can join the live stream or come by anytime and you will find the video recordings so you can watch them at your convenience.

All of our churches are open for private prayer Monday through Friday 10 am - 11:45 am and 12:15- 8 pm, Saturday 11am-3pm, and Sunday 3 pm- 8 pm.

With love and continued prayers,
Father Daniel

Our Sacrificial Offering for the fulfilment of the Mission of Jesus Christ

As you all know, our parishes are on very tight budgets. This reality of not having public Masses with a collection could gravely impact our finances since even through this lockdown our campuses still need to be maintained, our utilities paid and salaries must continue.

We encourage you to use our online giving options from our website: www.netcatholic.org/donate, in order to donate to the Church. If you need assistance setting this up, please call the office at 607-241-0821.

You can also mail your contributions to us:
HOLY CROSS: 375 George Road, Freeville, NY 13068
SAINT ANTHONY: 312 Locke Road, Groton, NY 13073
ALL SAINTS: 347 Ridge Road, Lansing, NY 14882.

We understand that some families will face unprecedented financial challenges at this time and will not be able to contribute to the church financially, please be at peace and contribute by keeping us in your prayers. If you and your family have been blessed with sufficient financial resources please consider not only keeping up your regular donations to the church but also making some additional donations to help us make up for the possible loss of income caused by this crisis. Thank you very much!

Welcome!

We are so happy that you are here! No matter if you attend Mass every Sunday, come occasionally, or are thinking of going to church for the first time or thinking of coming back after a while, we are delighted to welcome you to our website and hopefully to one of our parish communities. If you are interested in service we would love to have you join one of our many opportunities for service even if you are not ready or really interested in joining us for liturgy. If you want to take advantage of our opportunities for spirituality and meaning making, but are not interested in joining the parish you are always welcome to do so. Basically we are here to serve you, no matter where you find yourself in your journey or what your interests are, if there is anything we offer that can be of help to you do not hesitate to come. 

At N.E.T. Catholic (North East Tompkins Roman Catholic Parishes) , a network of three sister parishes: All Saints in Lansing, Holy Cross in Dryden/Freeville and Saint Anthony in Groton, we strive to build unity in diversity and to offer warm hospitality to all. We believe in and preach a God of mercy and do our best to be agents of mercy wherever we go. 

If you have been in any way hurt by the Church in the past, I personally beg your forgiveness and ask that you give us a chance to help you heal and to nourish your relationship with God.

Wishing you and yours all of God's blessings,

Father Daniel Ruiz-Sierra
