Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
It has been several years since our last parish pictorial
directory was printed. This coming spring, we will be
working with LIFETOUCH to produce a new, updated
directory. I’d like to thank Sue and Ed Anstead for their
willingness to coordinate this effort. We will need volunteers
for about ten minutes after the weekend Masses of March
10th, 17
th, and 24
th, 2019, to help with the signup process in
the narthex. If you could volunteer for just one or more
Masses, we would be most grateful. Please, call Sue
Anstead at 717-203-2204 for more details.
Peace,
Fr. Steve

ADVENT CONFESSION SCHEDULE
During Advent, Fr. Steve will be available for the Sacrament of Reconciliation between Sunday Masses from 8:15 am to 8:45 am and from 10:15 am to 10:45 am. Hopefully, this additional time and convenience for our parishioners will be an added blessing for our parish for the Christmas season.
We should always observe Advent with faith and love, offering praise and thanksgiving to the Father for the
mercy and love he has shown us in this mystery.

THANK YOU to all who supported the Respect Life Spaghetti Dinner on Saturday, November 17. In an effort to serve everyone a hot meal, complete with LOTS of spaghetti and meatballs, we experienced a back-up and a bit of a wait. For that , we apologize as hungry bellies needed filled! Knowing the popularity and increased numbers of families that are now starting to take advantage of the many new and revived activities in the new parish hall, we’ll be better able to plan more effectively for our future events. For all who helped on the crew side – the cooks, bakers, servers and clean-up – for your help and stamina, we are exceptionally grateful. Your time and effort made this time together a true success. ~ Respect Life Committee
CCW sends their thanks to all who purchased and help make 233 rolls this holiday season. Our success lies in ALL the wonderful people who help make and purchase rolls.

The Bereavement Ministry Team would like to introduce to you, The Memory Wreath. The wreath is located in the vestibule near the Crucifix. The idea is to write the name of a deceased loved one on the ribbons provided. (In the box on the lower shelf of the table holding the wreath).
