A Message from Father Lease

Beginning on Monday, August 24, we will offer daily Mass at 6:30 a.m. Monday through Friday.  With the return of school, I would like to provide Mass for those who must be off to school or work; hence, the 6:30 a.m. time. Due to the sanitization requirements (we have to clean the whole church after each Mass or service); I would like to avoid overloading our hardworking maintenance staff by not scheduling additional services at this time.

The 8:30 AM Friday Mass will be for the School only, and will not be open to the public; this is to keep everyone safe and healthy. We have ordered sanitization equipment that should cut down on the cleaning time; after it arrives and after we see how school is going, I will consider adding mid-morning weekday Masses. Just a reminder: face masks must be worn at all times while in the building.  – Fr. Lease

This Saturday, August 15 is the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

We will have Mass for the Vigil of the Assumption of the BVM on Friday, August 14 at 7:00 p.m.  The Vigil Mass will be celebrated in person and live streamed on Facebook.

This will be our only Mass for the Assumption, since 1) it is not obligatory this year and 2) we have a wedding and parish Mass on Saturday and need to be careful not to overbook the Shrine Church during COVID precautions.

Parish Pastoral Councils are an invaluable asset to pastors in providing leadership for the overall life of the parish.   The Parish Pastoral Council is a community of service.  The first and main goal of the Parish Pastoral Council is parish renewal through evangelization.   This weekend we are conducting our annual election of new members to serve in this important role on our Parish Pastoral Council.  All parishioners who are 18 years of age and older are asked to vote using the ballot found in the pews.  Vote Today!

We will operate on our Federal Holiday schedule on Friday, July 3 in
observance of the holiday. The parish office is closed.  There will be only one Mass in the Shrine Church at 8:30 a.m. The Mass will also be live streamed on Facebook.

Happy Independence Day!

It is great to see everyone in Church again and the enthusiasm for returning to Mass. With the ever increasing attendance since opening on June 6, two Masses were added to accommodate those parishioners who desire to sit in our beautiful Shrine Church.

Although Dauphin County transitioned to “green phase” on Friday, social distancing requirements and seating capacity inside the Shrine Church has not changed.

Our Saturday 4:30 p.m. and Sunday 9:30 a.m. continue to be the most attended Masses, requiring overflow seating in Murray Hall. With the continuance of social distancing guidelines, our Shrine Church quickly fills to capacity for those Mass times.

We encourage those desiring to sit in the Shrine Church to consider attending the 7:00 a.m., 12:00 p.m. or 7:00 p.m. Sunday Masses.

Saturday, June 20 • 4:30 p.m.
Sunday, June 21 • 12:00 p.m. • added
7:00 a.m. • 9:30 a.m. • 7:00 p.m.
