WELCOME
No matter where you are in life or on faith’s journey, you are welcome here! Please join us! We are one Roman Catholic Community of Northern Columbia County (CCNCC). We have 5 smaller communities, 4 churches, 3 parishes, 2 languages, and one pastor who all make up the one community of believers in Jesus Christ.
Masks are now optional in church and in our offices. If a parishioner needs to wear one, or would prefer to meet with a staff member who is also masked, they are welcome to ask our staff to do so.
Once again, welcome! I look forward to meeting you in person at one of our Masses. If you are unable to join us in person, our live-streamed Mass is available here.
A Path Forward
The bishop has drafted a compensation plan for those affected by abuse in our diocese. Whether you or someone you know has filed a lawsuit or not, please read the plan and tell anyone who might be affected to read it.
Please be aware that the diocese has help available for all those affected. See the RCDA website for more information or contact the diocesan Assistance Coordinator, Frederick Jones at 518-453-6646 or [email protected].

Below are a letter from Bishop Scharfenberger explaining the thought process that led to this plan, along with an overview of the proposal.
