Fr. Mac's Message
"The most rewarding things you do in life are often the ones that look like they cannot be done."
—Arnold Palmer, Golfer Bishop Zubik will once again be visiting our parish. This time on September 22nd for a Vicariate Meeting and to celebrate the sacrament of Confirmation. We are members of Vicariate 4. The Vicar for our region is Father Phil Farrell who celebrated his first liturgy in the Vicariate at our Parish on December 6, 2009. Maybe some of you remember him. All of the pastors and priests involved in our region, which encompasses Northern Allegheny, Lawrence and Butler Counties, are invited to attend this meeting which will begin at 3:00 PM with prayer in our Grotto Chapel and then conclude with dinner at 5:00 PM. Confirmation ceremony will be at 7:00 PM followed by a reception with the Bishop in the Cardinal DiNardo Center. Congratulations to our 111 Confirmation Candidates, their parents and sponsors. Thank you to Kathy Masters, Kate Bianco, Hayley Deschamps and all our catechists and volunteers for assisting our students. What a wonderful parish picnic! My sincere thanks to Lynne Belko and the Picnic Committee who coordinated the first-ever picnic on our grounds. Thanks also goes to the many wonderful volunteers including the Men’s Club and the Women’s Guild, Boy Scouts and the adult and teen volunteers. Next year we hope to have an even more fabulous time! If you have thoughts or suggestions, please contact Lynne Belko at lbelko@mac.com, or Betsy Shulkosky, our parish secretary, at bshulkosky@stsjohnandpaul.org. More games and more prizes for the children and more shade are already in our plan! Fr. Mac |
