Irondequoit Senior Ministries
Welcome to the website of the Irondequoit Catholic Communities!
We are composed of a cluster of 3 parishes (Christ the King, St. Salome & St. Thomas the Apostle), plus two individual parishes that will be joining the cluster in a few years (St. Cecilia & St. Margaret Mary) and St. Ann's Community, an independent living and nursing home complex in town.
The parishes in the Irondequoit Pastoral Planning Group have formed Irondequoit Senior Ministries to assist the senior members of our faith communities.
This website contains information from and about the Pastoral Planning Group, Irondequoit Senior Ministries, and the parishes in the group. It also contains over 600 short articles about saints and information about the Catholic Church. Visit the Vocations page, Frequently Asked Questions, Podcasts, Rosary, Stations of the Cross, Sunday Reflections, Videos and other pages.
2008 marks 100 years of Catholicism in Irondequoit. St. Salome Church is celebrating its Centennial with a Pageant on May 4 at Christ the King Parish Center and a Jubilee Mass on Sunday, June 8 at 9:30 AM.

Easter 2008
A once in a lifetime experience!
Easter is always the 1st Sunday after the 1st full moon after the Spring Equinox (which is March 20). This dating of Easter is based on the lunar calendar that Hebrew people used to identify passover, which is why it moves around on our Roman calendar.
Here's the interesting info. This year is the earliest Easter any of us will ever see the rest of our lives! And only the most elderly of our population have ever seen it this early (95 years old or above!). And none of us have ever, or will ever, see it a day earlier! Here's the facts:
1) The next time Easter will be this early (March 23) will be the year 2228 (220 years from now). The last time it was this early was 1913 (so if you're 95 or older, you are the only ones that were around for that!).
2) The next time it will be a day earlier, March 22, will be in the year 2285 (277 years from now). The last time it was on March 22 was 1818. So, no one alive today has or will ever see it any earlier than this year!
Celebrate with praise!
