Kids participate in memorable Bible learning activities, sing catchy songs, play teamwork-building games, make and devour yummy treats, experience one-of-a-kind Bible Adventures, collect Bible Memory Buddies to remind them of Jesus’ love, and test out sciency-fun experiments they’ll never forget. Plus, kids will learn to look for evidence of God all around them through something called God Sightings.

True North is for kids from grades 1 to 5 and will be held from Monday, June 16 to Friday, June 20. Each day starts at 8:30 AM and concludes at 12 PM. 

There will be Daily Mass on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. Wednesday Morning and Thursday Mornings will start with crafts and light breakfast.

Thank you for your support of our important work in the community.

The entire Church mourns the death of our Holy Father, Pope Francis. In cathedrals, basilicas,
parish churches, shrines, and chapels, the Holy Eucharist will be offered for the repose of his
soul. Communities and individuals will ask God to bestow his infinite mercy on the man who served
the Church as Bishop of Rome.

This novena has been prepared to help pray for the Pope during this time. The daily novena—lasting
for the novendiales period from April 26 to May 4, 2025—consists of a short reading from Scripture
or some other ecclesiastical text and some brief prayers, including orations drawn from
the Roman Missal and the Order of Christian Funerals.

Grief is a natural reaction to loss, and we all grieve in our own way on our own schedule. As part of the Saint Catherine Parish community, we invite you to participate in our Grieving with Hope Support Group. Maximum benefit can best be achieved by attending all sessions, however if this is not possible, you are encouraged to attend as many sessions as you are able.

Registration is not required but requested for planning

purposes. If interested, contact the parish office at 717.564.1321 or click here to register.

Please consider making a financial contribution to Leo Nebroski’s Eagle Scout Project, which will be the renovation of the storage shed for Saint Catherine Labouré Parish’s Garden Club. 

Your donation will directly help restore the shed, creating a safer and more functional environment for the volunteers.

Over the coming year, Leo plans to put new roofing, siding, and doors on the shed, along with other minor  improvements.  The project is estimated to cost roughly $9,000, so every donation helps. Thank you in advance for your consideration.
