 Congratulations to Kate Naughton for earning the National Girl Scout Religious Award, “Spirit Alive”
recently. This award program is designed to assist girls in grades 9-12 in discovering how the Holy Spirit moves within their lives, calling them to a greater participation in the ministry of the Church. Kate will be recognized by Bishop Gainer for achieving this award at the annual Scout Mass on April 22, 2018 at Good Shepherd Church. Because Kate has earned at least three National Girl Scout Religious Emblems, she is now a recipient of the prestigious Region 3 Scout Award.

 Tomorrow, February 14th is Ash Wednesday and the first day of Lent! Our parish Mass schedule is: 6:45am, 9:00 am, 7:00 pm.
If you have not read the statement from the Bishop regarding the Ash Wednesday Obligation, you can read it here.  The Diocese of Harrisburg requires two years of religious education before reception of the sacraments of Eucharist and Confirmation. If your child is not in a Catholic School, you need to register for REP, our Religious Education Program, as soon as possible. Our program covers grades K-8, so any new families should also consider prompt registration so that you receive all information on the coming year's program.

 “Prayer for Vocations”
Heavenly Father,We ask you to bless our diocese with selfless hearts that are willing to serve You, by serving Your Church. Lord Jesus raise up from our homes those called by the Father: courageous and humble men to the Priesthood, faithful people to Consecrated Life and holy men and women to the sacrament of Marriage. Holy Spirit, help us to live our universal vocation to holiness, by listening to the Father’s voice and responding with a sacrificial love. Holy Mary, Model of Vocations, teach us to hear and follow your Son. Holy Mary, Queen of Priests, sanctify our priests and obtain for us many more.Holy Mary, Mother of the Church, pray for our families and intercede for our children. Amen |
