–Everyone is invited to the MASS OF REMEMBRANCE, on Monday, November 4, at 7:00 pm as we light candles to remember each of our beloved departed who have left us in the past year.  Even if you haven’t lost a loved one this past year, please consider coming to the Mass to support the members of our community who are grieving.  

Election Resources to help educate Catholics on the four principles of Catholic Social Teaching (the dignity of the human person, subsidiarity, the common good, and solidarity) as well as positions of federal candidates, are on the Diocese of Harrisburg’s homepage.  Please remember, no political flyers are to be left in the church or on cars.
