Jesus Christ invites us to return to the source and summit of our faith—his Real Presence in the Holy Eucharist. Jesus is present, reminding us that he is more powerful than the storm. He desires to heal, renew, and unify the Church and the world.
I am the living bread that came down from heaven;
whoever eats this bread will live forever;
and the bread that I will give is my flesh
for the life of the world.JOHN 6:51
The Eucharistic Revival is intended to be far more than a series of events or a program. It aims to be a movement that enkindles a living relationship with Jesus Christ in the Eucharist and renews the Church.

OUR YOUTH GROUP
NEEDS YOU !!!It isn’t always easy keeping the faith in the teen years! Peer pressure, social media, grade point averages, jobs, dating…. The list of stressors goes on. Now is exactly when our kids need God and their faith community!
Confirmation is just the beginning of their faith journey—not the end! But how do they continue the journey without guidance, good friends and role models?
Please consider being one of those role models!
We meet formally only once a month, but we need help with transportation to field trips, retreats and fun events. The small amount of time needed from our volunteers will be returned in rewards greater than you can imagine!
For more information about what this volunteer post involves, please call Kelsey Probst at 724-265-4040 ext. 302.

Purgatory and Indulgences
Question: If our sins are forgiven by going to confession, why do we need Indulgences? What exactly is an Indulgence, and what does it do?
-
Leaving Mass Early
Question: I've noticed a lot of people leave Mass right after Communion. Is that allowed, or do I have to stay to the end?

*** ALL VOLUNTEERS PLEASE TAKE NOTE ***
The Diocese has instituted a new online training class titled Protecting God’s Children and Vulnerable Adults 3.2.
If it has been more than three (3) years since your initial training, you will need to take this course. You may have received an email from the Diocese about this, but very few of our volunteers have completed this. The Diocese would like us to have a greater compliance record.
Here are the steps to do the class:- Go to www.virtusonline.org. The diocese has re-set most accounts to use their email address as their User ID (then request a password reset). If you have trouble logging in, please do NOT create a new account as that makes more work for us in consolidating your two accounts. Please email us at [email protected], and we can retrieve that for you.
- Log in to your EXISTING account using the User ID and Password you made when you first set up the account. If that does not
work, try using the password “Protect”.- Next, click on ‘training’. Then, take the online class assigned to you (PGC 3.2). It takes about an hour. Continue all the way to the point where you are offered to print the certificate, so that the system recognizes that you completed the class. We can do the actual printing from our admin tab for this certificate. NOTE: Do not fast-forward through the videos – this causes the program to get stuck and then we need to contact the help desk
Thank you for attending to this matter, and thank you for the wonderful work you do for our parish and the community.
