Dear Friends in Christ,

Welcome to all those who are visiting and worshipping with us during this holiday weekend!

It is hard to believe that the 4th of July Holiday weekend is already here! As we celebrate this National Holiday let us also fly our flags proudly and boldly as we pray for and remember all those serving in our armed forces who ensure our safety and freedom  each day!

We warmly welcome Bishop-Elect Barres and Father Mike Camilli this weekend to our parish. As you know, Bishop-Elect Barres has served our parish faithfully on weekends for over 10 summers! It is great to have him back again and to celebrate the 10:00 AM Mass with us! Father Camilli, my mentor and spiritual director, also has returned to celebrate the 8:30 AM Mass. Father Camilli will be working closely with Bishop Barres in Allentown.

As we approach the half way point of our SIZZLIN' SUMMER STIMULUS PACKAGE: CASH LOTTO, we are approximately 50% towards our goal. So, I am kindly asking all parishioners to support this fundraiser which will help offset our expenses for next year. If every registered parish family purchases 3 tickets and sells 3 tickets to family and friends; we are all winners! Please stop by the table after Mass or come by the office to get your Cash Lotto tickets.  Please also remember, we are limiting our sales to 4,500 tickets. In the past summers when we were combined with St. Luke's and St. Andrew's, we sold over 50,000 raffle tickets, so the odds now are much higher and your chances are much better!

Enjoy your family and friends, the fireworks, barbeques and picnics!  God Bless You and God Bless America!

Father Protack, Pastor

Electronic Giving Program begins July 1

Electronic giving allows you the freedom of setting up the weekly, monthly, or quarterly contributions to support your church, which is automatically debited from your account and electrically deposited into the parish account. It promises a great savings for us on mailings, stamps, and contribution envelopes, etc.  Download the flyer and form here, or contact the Parish Business Manager, Deacon Wil Pinder (410-208-2956 Ext. 207) to sign up.
