POPE FRANCIS, THE JOY OF THE GOSPEL

WOMEN’S ADVENT DISCUSSION GROUP • ROOM 103

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

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!

November 5 marks the start of National Vocation Awareness Week!

Watch this video to learn more about some of the ways God calls us to lives of self-giving love…and pray about how we can encourage openness to vocations in our St. Catherine’s community!

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.
