Every Monday of Lent from 5:30 - 7:00pm, our Parish and all the parishes in the Diocese of Scranton will be open for individual confessions. We invite you to experience Christ’s healing love through the Sacrament of Reconciliation. The website, www.dioceseofscranton.org has materials to assist you in preparing to make a good confession, prayers you may find helpful, and answers to frequently asked questions. Please make plans to come on a Lenten Monday, and spread the word of this special outreach of mercy to those you know. Mary, Mother of God will have Eucharistic Adoration during this time also.

 Stations of the Cross will be held this year beginning at 6 pm on Fridays during Lent. Please make note of this change.

Community/Service Coordinating Team Book Drive
Looking for an almsgiving opportunity this season of Lent? We will be collecting new and/or gently used books for preschool age children through 8th grade.
Books to look for:

- Picture books
- Early Learning Readers or Leveled Readers
- Chapter books(kid friendly)

Books will benefit the children at the Village Park Apartments and the Bangor Heights Apartments. Please try to offer books that reflect children of diverse backgrounds. Also, no dictionaries or encyclopedias.
Books can be dropped off in the back of the church during masses or in the rectory during business hours.

This year, we will dedicate our Paschal Candle to the memory of deceased loved ones.  The Paschal Candle is lit at every Mass during the Easter Season, as well as every baptism and funeral throughout the year.  If you would like to have your loved one’s name remembered, please COMPLETE THIS FORM and return it to the parish office or the Sunday collection basket.  
SUGGESTED OFFERING: $10

Monthly Prayer Intention

For March:

For the month of March, let’s pray that we continue to strive to be “Pilgrims of Hope” as we journey toward our eternal life with God in heaven. May our example inspire the people we meet to show kindness and compassion to everyone. Lord, help us to respect others and their differences because we are all your children. Amen.

Parishioners with children in our diocesan school system are encouraged to apply for assistance through our Parish Endowment Fund. Forms are available in the office at any time. Deadline to submit your application is Saturday, April 26, 2025. A copy of your tax forms will be needed. This is a great way to help make Catholic education more affordable. Get forms now!!

When the Scranton School District is delayed or cancelled, there will not be a morning mass at 8am. The intention for that day will be rescheduled to the next available date. If the weather looks nasty outside or you have not been feeling well, PLEASE STAY HOME. There are multiple ways you can view a daily/Sunday mass, and we would rather see you safe at home than injured. If you think the weather looks a bit tricky….please stay home.  COVID and the FLU ARE ON THE RISE AGAIN!! Please if you are not feeling well, stay home and take care of your health.
