We are implementing a new criterion for receiving First Communion for next year. We would like all students to be in formation classes for at least two years before receiving the sacrament. 

Please register your child immediately to be in the Grade 1 class if they plan on receiving First Communion in May 2028! Please contact Karen Rowe if you have any questions! 

Registration is online here, or you can fill out the registration form that is found in the OBC. Do not delay. Let’s get all the little ones in classes on Sundays, especially those first graders!

On November 1, we will be doing our mandatory training for grades K-5. This will be with the parents, catechists and students. It will be during Coffee Call in the OBC. 

On November 8, the training will be in the Confirmation Room for students, catechists, and parents for Grades 6-12.

We still need a few more sponsors for our catechumen and candidates. 

If you are willing to help with this process, please contact Karen Rowe at 607 267-0405 or klrowe@cdlex.org

Once again our youth will be participating in the Pilgrimage in the Park 5K run on Thanksgiving Day. We invite all parishioners, friends and family to sign up as well and be a part of Saint Mildred's team. When you register make sure you say you are part of Saint Mildred's. We won the title last year and hope to win again.

As always if you have any questions about Youth Group or need anything reach out to Lindsay or Travis Shrum.

The Clothing Center needs the following items: all sizes of socks, underwear, towels and queen sized sheets.

Also needed are canned vegetables, tuna fish and macaroni and cheese. It is only through your generous donations, financially as well as food and clothing, that we are able to assist those less fortunate. In recognition of your support for the homeless, St. Mildred Catholic Church Outreach Center was awarded the Organization of the Year at the 2026 Pulaski County Homelessness Conference.

During the month of September we helped 49 children and 79 adults with various needs. We gave food to nine people. Already by October 21st we have given food to 48 people.
