Welcome to our friend, Fr. Philip! You have been a part of our lives for so long and now we have the pleasure of sharing life and ministry with you. Loving Lord Jesus, we are so blessed to have the shepherd that You have brought to our congregation. Thank You for him and for all the graces and talents You have given him. We pray that as he faithfully delivers Your Word to us week by week, he will be encouraged to know that he is fulfilling Your commission to go into all the world and teach the gospel, in a very special way. Strengthen his walk with You Lord I pray, as he studies the Scriptures and prepares to deliver the truths of the faith to all of us that gather week by week, to be fed from Your Word. And I pray that You would send him many encouragements from his congregation or other believers, with whom he comes in contact, as well as opening up the Scriptures more and more to his own understanding as we all seek to mature in the faith. Thank You Lord for our dear shepherd. Amen.

(Ps 119) Second Reading: We know that all things work for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.

Are you interested in learning more about the Catholic Faith? Would you like to become a Catholic? Are you a baptized
Adult Catholic in need of Confirmation? The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is the process that prepares adults for full initiation into the Catholic Church through the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist. Whether you are unbaptized, baptized in another Christian faith or baptized and un-catechized, the RCIA Process will prepare you for the reception into the Church. Please call the Faith Formation Office at 724-752-1271 for more information and to arrange for an initial interview. Parishioners, be sure to invite your non-Catholic relatives, friends or neighbors to consider becoming a Catholic and joining the Christian Initiation Process. Many are waiting for such an invitation to get started.
