Beginning the weekend of July 17/18, the use of baskets to pass from one person o another was instituted in order to allow everyone the opportunity to make a contribution.

At the end of the Universal Prayer, our collection volunteers:

• retrieve the collection baskets from the back of the church
• proceed to the front of the church on either side of the pews in each section
• start at the first and second rows, hand the basket to the worshipper seated on the end, to be passed to the opposite end of the pew
• upon completion, combine collected monies into the stationary baskets located at the back of church

  Two collection volunteers will take the collection baskets to the Sacristy and deposit bag with funds in safe.

  We can always use more volunteers! Click here to become part of our Hospitality Ministry!

NOTE:  Those who are seriously ill or have a serious health risk, are still dispensed.

Dear Brothers and Sisters

Along with the other bishops of Pennsylvania, I give thanks to Almighty God for the progress our country has made in curbing the coronavirus pandemic. Each of us has felt the impact of COVID-19 in many ways as individuals and families, among friends and at work. This has been a time of hardship and struggle, of separation and isolation that has impacted our lives of faith as well. Our Lord Jesus has been near to us throughout this difficult period, especially when we encounter Him in the Holy Eucharist. There He offers us His healing and peace, His mercy and reconciliation. Now the time has come for everyone to return joyfully to the celebration of the Eucharist with thanksgiving and renewed faith.

As life returns to normalcy in many ways, each bishop will reinstate in his diocese the obligation of attending Mass in person on Sundays and Holy Days beginning Sunday, August 15, 2021, the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The dispensation from the obligation to attend Mass has been in place since March of 2020 when the developing coronavirus pandemic required people not to assemble in group settings. Now, with the impact of the pandemic considerably reduced, it is possible for the faithful to assemble again for the Eucharist and fitting to restore the obligation.     Read more…
