“The parish is not an outdated institution; precisely because it possesses great flexibility…depending on the openness and missionary creativity of the pastor and the community.”
POPE FRANCIS, THE JOY OF THE GOSPEL
NOVEMBER 29-DECEMBER 20 • 6:30 P.M.-8:00 P.M
Find Peace this Advent—Join us for a Women’s Advent Discussion Group. Come learn to experience greater joy and peace throughout the Advent season and beyond. This year’s special focus is on finding silence and peace in a noisy world and in our noisy hearts. The Rejoice! Journal will help you rediscover that childlike joy and arrive at Christmas with a deeper peace and anticipation, eagerly awaiting the birth of Christ. The journal includes a word, a meditation, and a prayer prompt for each day, as well as beautiful artwork. We will gather on Wednesday evenings, November 29-December 20, from 6:30 p.m.-8:00 p.m. in Room 103. To register, please contact Alycia at 717.564.1321 x 132 or alaureti@sclhbg.org
RESPECT LIFE ROSARY CALENDAR PROJECT
Please consider joining our parish Respect Life Rosary project, in which parishioners and friends are assigned a monthly date to pray the rosary on their own for the intention of a greater respect for all human life. Our goal has been to keep a continual vigil of prayer for this vital issue. Please call Laura at 717.350.4295 if you would like to be included in the upcoming calendar (January thru April 2024).

Do you find it easy to pray? Do you hear God’s voice in your daily life and know how to respond? For most of us the answer is no, sometimes finding it hard to pray. Join us on October 10, 17, 31 and November 7 and 14 from 6:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m. in Leo Hall. Come learn how to be more aware of his close presence and overcome distractions. As you grow closer to God, you will also grow in your relationship with those around you.
