Welcome to the Roman Catholic Community of St. Edward the Confessor in Clifton Park, New York. We are happy to have you with us. ALL ARE WELCOME here, in the spirit of Jesus. We hope to meet Him in you and that you find Him in us and in those we serve in His name. Your presence is a true treasure and we open our hearts and home to you with a deep sense of hospitality. We hope that you will make yourself at home.
We are a large parish, which can seem daunting at first, but we believe it is one of our strengths. We have the ability to draw on the tremendous reservoir of gifts and talents of our people. St. Edward's community is filled with thousands of gifted and talented people who are willing to share their time and talent in a variety of ways. Please get involved in whatever way catches your attention and imagination. If you have a particular talent or interest that is not reflected on this site, please, let us know. We are always looking for new ways for the community to grow.
We take worship, education, service, and community building seriously. We hope our efforts will be of service to you as together we build our common-union in Christ, our brother.
Sincerely,
Fr. Pat

Ministry to Mary Ties Community Together
The Mary’s Ladies of the Knots ministry ties knots not only to create fleece blankets but to help others untie knots of their own.
The ministry program, based on the Marian devotion of Mary Undoer of Knots, which is also a 300-year-old Baroque painting of the same name, has taken flight at St. Edward the Confessor Church in Clifton Park. It was the brainchild of two friends: Linda DiCaprio and Joanne DeNovio.

Clifton Park VFW works to clothe homeless veterans
Our parishioner David Brinkmoeller was featured in the Daily Gazette for his work with VFW Post 1498. "Five years ago, David Brinkmoeller, commander of the VFW Post 1498 in Clifton Park, was at the Stratton VA Medical Center in Albany for volunteer work and he saw something that stuck with him: a veteran walk in to the center off the street without a coat."
