     Saint Aedan’s was proud and happy to welcome home our newly ordained Deacon Ryan Muldoon.  Ryan is pictured with his mother Nancy and his father Bruce and our pastor, Msgr. Nevin.  Ryan was ordained in Rome, and God willing, should be ordained a priest for the Archdiocese of New York this May 25th.  He will then celebrate his first Mass here at Saint Aedan’s on Sunday, May 26th at 2:00 followed by a parish reception in the gym.  "We welcome you home Deacon Ryan.  Your visit has made this a truly Blessed Christmas for your parents, loved ones and your entire parish family!"

Parish Religious Education Program - PREP

     New/all registrants MUST be members of St. Aedan’s Parish.

     If you are not registered, please call 735-7405 to do so.

     Are you someone who has come to some knowledge of Jesus Christ and who is attracted, in some way, to become a member of our Catholic Church?
 
     Are you willing to invest some time each week to learn about the Catholic faith, to ask questions and to receive some informative answers?
 
     Are you willing to work with us in getting you prepared to receive the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Holy Communion and Confirmation) at our annual Easter Vigil Mass on Saturday evening, March 31st? (Private reception may also be arranged.)
 
     RCIA provides an opportunity for candidates to consider what God is saying to them in the Scriptures; what changes in their life they need to make to respond to God’s inspiration, and what Baptism in the Catholic Church means.
 
     Are you someone who was already baptized a Catholic but whom, for whatever reason, never received the sacraments of Holy Communion and/or Confirmation, but would now like to be prepared to receive these sacraments? RCIA provides an opportunity for you to be brought into full communion with the Catholic Church.
 
     If you answered YES to any of these questions, please contact us and let us know of your interest. We are moving forward with plans to start up an RCIA program this fall and we would love to have you join us. Please call the Saint Aedan Parish House at 845-735-7405, or email us at staedan@optonline.net and someone will get back to you.
 

Dear friend,

    A blessed new year to you!  As 2019 begins, you may be considering new ways to deepen your faith.  We invite you to consider growing in your knowledge of why we believe what we believe as Catholics.

     Do you ever think to yourself: "I say the creed at Mass, but I don't actually understand every word," or "What does living Catholic social teaching mean for today?" or "How did the early Church choose books for inclusion in the Bible?"  If so, then Enlighten might be a good fit for you.  Enlighten is a program of online courses offered in collaboration with Fordham University's Graduate School of Religion and Religious Education.

     Each week coursework is delivered in small modules that can be completed at a time convenient for you.  Lectures are presented in a combination of video and audio formats.  Readings and other resources are provided.  Participation in the program is a step toward certification for catechists.  Best of all, the program is open to all parishioners of the Archdiocese of New York, and, free of charge.

     Winter classes start January 22nd.
