Bishop Douglas J. Lucia has accepted the recommendation to unify Our Lady of Lourdes Church and Our Lady of the Rosary Church in Utica as one parish with a new name, “Mary, Mother of Our Savior Parish”.

St. Mary of the Assumption in Oswego will become a diocesan shrine August 15, Bishop Douglas J. Lucia announced in an August 6 letter to the people. At the church, which the bishop established as a personal parish and oratory in 2020, Masses will be offered in both the Ordinary and Extraordinary Forms, Eucharistic Adoration and the Sacrament of Penance will be available, and “individuals and parish groups alike from throughout the Diocese of Syracuse and even beyond will be able to journey to this place to find spiritual renewal and solace,” Bishop Lucia said in the letter.
