A step closer to the priesthood

Jonathan Hoole, Douglas Villanella ordained transitional deacons

By Tami S. Scott
Editor

Grace. That was, in essence, the very prayer on the hearts of both Jonathan Hoole and Douglas Villanella as they prepared for their ordination as transitional deacons on May 16 at St. Mary of the Assumption in Binghamton. Each, in their own way, asked God for openness and strength for the ministry ahead.

“Lord, make me ready as I can be,” the now-Deacon Hoole said.

“The prayer most on my heart … was that my heart would be as fully open as it could be to receive the graces that God would give me on that day …” said Deacon Villanella.

Their prayers were answered.

Friends and family from around the diocese gathered the morning of May 16 at St. Mary of the Assumption in Binghamton to witness the elects’ rites of ordination, including the Promise of the Elect, the Litany of Supplication, the laying on of hands, the investiture with the stole and dalmatic, the handing on of the Book of the Gospels, and the fraternal kiss.

A ‘sweet’ family connection

St. Stephen’s Strawberry Festival celebrates 25th anniversary

By Elizabeth Landry
Staff writer

Where can you find basket raffles, a silent auction, kids’ games, putt-putt golf, music, chicken dinners, pulled pork sandwiches, Gianelli sausage, hamburgers, and Hofmann hot dogs, a dessert wheel, fried dough, and a variety of strawberry treats like strawberry shortcake and smoothies — all in one evening?

At the St. Stephen’s Church Strawberry Festival in Phoenix, of course!

This year is the 25th anniversary celebration of the festival, which was first organized in 2001 by Father Andrew Baranski and St. Stephen’s Altar Rosary Society, and it will be held at the church on the evening of Friday, June 26, from 4 to 8 p.m. In addition to being the 25th anniversary, this year’s festival is also special because an adorable part of the festivities is coming full circle. The “Strawberry Boy” mascot will be 3-year-old Beckham Frawley, son of Daniel Frawley, who was the original “Strawberry Boy” for the very first festival — a fun family connection that will make this festival feel extra special.

‘Magnifica Humanitas’ a reminder of ‘moral responsibility’ in AI oversight, expert says

By Junno Arocho Esteves
OSV News

(OSV News) — At the heart of Pope Leo XIV’s first encyclical, “Magnifica Humanitas” (“Magnificent Humanity”), is the conviction that in the age of ever-advancing artificial intelligence, technological innovation must be subordinate to human dignity.

For David Kirchhoffer, director of the Queensland Bioethics Center at the Australian Catholic University, the encyclical’s call for humanity to remain at the heart of the digital revolution must translate to concrete regulations that facilitate moral accountability.

“There is a real danger of people giving up their moral responsibility to AI or having it taken from them,” Kirchhoffer told OSV News on May 25. “For this reason, practically speaking, all AI development and application should have human oversight built into it, especially at key decision points, and moral responsibility should rest with these agents.”

Blessed are the merciful

Parishioners at St. Mary of the Assumption and the Church of St. Paul exceed expectations when challenged to give generously

By Eileen Jevis
Staff writer

The generous will themselves be blessed, for they share their food with the poor.

~Proverbs 22:9

Father Arthur Krawczenko, pastor of St. Mary of the Assumption and the Church of St. Paul in Binghamton, knows that his parishioners are financially challenged. Many in these inner-city churches cannot afford to own a vehicle, so they walk to church or take the bus. But inspired by a presentation by Father Mike Bassano, a Maryknoll priest from Binghamton, about his missionary work in South Sudan, Fr. Art made a plea to his parishioners to support the refugees in one of Africa’s poorest countries.

The deacon: The work of the Lord

Editor’s note: The following is Bishop Lucia’s homily from the Mass 16 Ordination to the Transitional Deaconate Mass at St. Mary of the Assumption in Binghamton.

What a joyous day once again for the Diocese of Syracuse as we gather for the Ordination of Jonathan and Douglas to the ministerial service of the Order of Deacons. Pope Benedict XVI would comment on this role: “In terms of the sacrament, being a deacon means making present the mystery of the diaconate of Jesus Christ, his love in the Church.”

My sons, like Philip in our first reading from the Acts of the Apostles, you are being charged this day before God and by God to offer yourself as a Sacrament – as a manifestation – an outward sign of a living Gospel for all people to hear through the gift of Holy Orders. Having heard the call of God in your own life, you come to lay it down in diaconal service to the People of God as one devoted to serving charity, serving at the altar, and serving with the Word.

Found time in ordinary time

By Lucia A. Silecchia

In recent years, the arrival of A.I. has exploded as a topic of discussion, question, excitement, and fear. Certainly, A.I. has been a subtle, largely unnoticed part of our lives for a long time. But, in 2023, when the viral launch of the seductively user-friendly ChatGPT brought A.I. into our homes, schools, and offices, we were forced to confront the far more profound impacts of A.I., for which ChatGPT plays only a minor part.

I find myself thinking a great deal about what A.I. might mean in academic life as both help and hindrance to my students’ education and what its implications are for academic integrity and the future of scholarly research and writing. I also struggle with deciding what I should be teaching my students about using A.I., knowing that their employers and clients will expect that they productively harness this enormous power in the workplace.

Hope in hallowed ground

A knight’s perspective

By Mike Langlois
Contributing writer

For as long as I can remember, I have felt compelled — or even called — to visit cemeteries. People today may view these spaces with detached curiosity or avoid them unless they are visiting a loved one. I find them to be peaceful havens that link me to the souls who have passed.

It is hard to estimate how many cemeteries I have visited; suffice it to say, I have lost count. Traveling extensively for work has allowed me to explore a diverse array of New England burial grounds, each with unique characteristics that reflect the local community. As a history enthusiast, I appreciate the cultural significance these sacred spots offer. People who travel regularly for work quickly notice that towns share similar features such as town halls, schools, and local businesses; however, it is the cemetery that remains a constant. Even when smaller rural communities lack modern services, they never lack hallowed ground to honor their ancestors.

Sing a new song unto the road

Experiments in Catholicism

By Emily E Long

By the grace of God, the sun has once again appeared in Central New York! With pollen in the air, allergy pills on rotation, and air conditioners installed in windows, that can only mean one thing — it’s road work season!

Last summer, I drove through my fair share of road work. What was once my easy 15-minute commute to work became the reason why I had to replace my brake pads last winter. As I would snake my way through the ever-changing traffic patterns, I was on edge and frustrated. Even after I descended from I-81 into the city, I had to endure more roadwork along with daredevil pedestrians. As I pulled into the parking lot of the chancery, I would be frustrated and in such a bad mood. My poor coworkers would have to hear a litany of my complaints as I entered our office.
