Our 2023 Christmas Giving Tree

November 23 through December 17, 2023

On Thanksgiving Day, our tree will be on display in the narthex, decorated with gift tags for seven different organizations. You may select a tag from the tree, purchase that item and return your gift (wrapped or unwrapped) to the parish office or the narthex.

Or you may choose a tag from our virtual Christmas Giving Tree 2023 Virtual Giving Tree  at 2023 Giving Tree.  GIFTS ARE DUE ON DECEMBER 17 AT 1:00 PM. 

Select a virtual tag, purchase your gift, and return directly to parish office or in the narthex.  When the gift arrives, the tag will be matched to the gift.

You will notice many organizations are asking for gift cards. Many are distributed to clients early, so they can shop for their families which provides a sense of ownership and pride.  Remember to shop early so our elves can deliver throughout December.  And as always, your generosity is very much appreciated.

Respect Life Rosary Calendar

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).

It’s National Vocation Awareness Week!

Bishop Senior celebrates All Souls Day Mass

Bishop Senior will celebrate Mass for All Souls Day on Thursday, November 2 at 8 a.m. at Saint Catherine Labouré Church, Harrisburg. Following the Mass, the Bishop will visit the graves of several former Bishops of Harrisburg, which are laid to rest in Holy Cross Cemetery, Harrisburg. All are invited to join Bishop Senior for Mass as we pray for the souls of the faithful departed.

Prayer Opportunities

Pray the Holy Rosary with us on Mondays

October 2, 16 , 23 & 30

In honor of the month of the Rosary, we will be praying the Rosary on Mondays in October at 6:30 p.m. in the Shrine Church, immediately followed by the Novena.  All are welcome.

Join our Tuesday Prayer Group beginning October 10 in Leo Hall

6:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m.

To register, contact Alycia at alaureti@sclhbg.org or 717.564.1321 x 132.

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.
