FLAGS ARE SOLD OUT! Thank you for your support! 

On Memorial Day Weekend, we will fly 3×5 foot American Flags from the light standards on our parish campus. These flags may be sponsored in memory of a military service member who has died in the line of duty, or in honor of a veteran (living or deceased).

To sponsor a flag, please contact Kathy Sperry in the Parish Office (ksperry@sclhbg.org or 717.564.1321 x 100) by May 21 or reserve online here. 

The number of flags available for sponsorship is limited.  A $25.00 donation is requested for each sponsorship.  The names of the veterans for whom the flags are flown will be published in the May 30 bulletin.

 

Carnations will be available after all the Masses next weekend May 8/9 in honor of Mother’s Day.  They will be located at the entrances to the Church.  A donation of $1.00 is requested.

Proceeds will benefit the activities sponsored by Pennsylvanians for Human Life and our parish Respect Life Committee.

The Saint Catherine Laboure Council of Catholic Women is sponsoring a
Eucharistic Holy Hour of Prayer on Divine Mercy Sunday, April 11 in the Shrine Church. The message of The Divine Mercy is simple. It is that God loves us and wants us to recognize that His mercy is greater than our sins.

We will begin at 2:45 p.m. with Exposition of the Holy Sacrament followed by recitation of the Divine Mercy Chaplet at 3:00 p.m., the Hour of Divine Mercy. Our speaker is Sr. Geralyn Schmidt, SCC, Director of Formation for the Wives of the Diaconate, Diocese of Harrisburg. Known for her sense of humor and great joy, Sister encourages her audiences to be the person God has called them to be.

The program concludes with Vespers and Benediction. Confessions will be heard from 3:00 p.m. — 3:45 p.m.

The program will be live streamed to the parish webpage and the parish’s Facebook page. Face masks and social distancing required.
