Congratulations to the @SSJRochester on 375 incredible years world-wide, and 170 years here in Monroe County. You are deeply woven into the fabric of our community, and we know that the values that you’ve instilled will continue to live on for generations to come.
Congrats to Sister Chris Wagner on this well-deserved honor! May these trailblazing women be an inspiration to us all. #WomensHistoryMonth

As we begin our journey through #Lent, let us ask the Lord to grant us the gift of true conversion of heart, so that we may better respond to His love for us and share that love with those around us.
The American Bishops (USCCB) have asked all Catholics & all people of goodwill to offer an hour of prayer for a renewal of our hearts & our nation. Please join the Sisters for an hour of silent prayer today, Feb. 16, from 4-5 PM in the Holy Family Chapel at 150 French Road. #ROC
May Bishop Matano be blessed with peace and joy in retirement, and Bishop John be strengthened by the Holy Spirit as he begins this new ministry. May God guide us in this graced transition as we journey together as a synodal Church. #bishop #Church
