VOLUNTEERS
WE NEED VOLUNTEERS -- both veterans and rookies!! Veteran volunteers are asked to welcome new volunteers to come and experience the fellowship and fun of being a part of our annual Block Party. Please call our Parish Office at 342-4881 or fill out the form below to add your name to the volunteer pool.
**********IMPORTANT NOTICE**********
Due to a shortage of demand, space, and volunteers, we will NOT be having the Book Nook at this year’s Block Party. Although we realize that it was enjoyed by some, the work involved in collecting, setting up, and discarding leftover books has become impractical. If we see a need and have manpower to do so again in the future, the idea can always be revisited.
Our Word and Worship Coordinating teams created a six-part series to enhance our understanding of the most important prayer we have as Catholics - the Mass. The Mass part 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLXpdSlowJ4
the Mass part 3
Our Parish Monthly prayer intention:
For the month of May
Please pray for Mothers, Grandmothers, living and deceased; and for safe deliveries for expectant Mothers
We welcome you to visit the pages of our website to learn more! If you are planning to move to the North Scranton area, we invite you to make Mary, Mother of God Parish your home!
