Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Thank you for your steadfast support of the Diocese of Harrisburg. Because of your prayers and generous sharing of your time, talent, and treasure, our Catholic community continues to thrive. Together, we can build a legacy that will shape the faith in our region for generations to come. Achieving this vision, however, requires thoughtful stewardship of our resources. After careful consultation with members of the clergy and Diocesan leadership, I have chosen to explore the possibility of launching a special Diocesan-wide campaign to address several pressing needs.

"On this Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we pause once again to honor the enduring legacy of a leader whose courage and faith transformed our nation and awakened the conscience of the world. Dr. King's steadfast commitment to justice, equality, and nonviolence invites each of us to contemplate the inherent dignity of every human person, created in the image and likeness of God." Read the full letter by clicking here.
Dr. King’s sermon encouraged people to be leaders in the priorities that Christ gave us: to feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, welcome the stranger, clothe the naked, care for the sick, and visit those in prison. Through the social service and charitable ministries of the Catholic Church, we strive to embody the Gospel mandate at the local and community levels.
The Parish Office will be closed for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Monday Jan. 19th. The church will be open for Mass and prayer. The office will reopen at 8 AM Tuesday, Jan. 20th.
