Welcome to Our Church
Through the grace of God and the commitment of the Catholic Community, we a parish devoted to imitating the life of Christ, as proclaimed in the Holy Gospels, offer a gathering place for worship, service, and fellowship for all.
As ambassadors for Christ, we serve the faithful, those who have strayed from the faith, and those who are not members of the faith community so that all may be reconciled to God.

A Letter from Bishop Mark Bartchak
Dear Friends in Christ,
As your bishop, one of my greatest responsibilities is to ensure that the faithful of our diocese will always have good and holy priests to shepherd them. And yet, priestly vocations are never the work of one person alone. They arise when the whole Church prays for, encourages, and calls forth those men whom God has chosen.
For this reason, our diocese is launching a special Called by Name campaign on November 8-9, during which I ask that you help me identify young men who demonstrate faith, generosity, and leadership. The young men you nominate do not need to have already expressed a desire for the priesthood Rather, we seek to honor and encourage those who live their faith with integrity, serve generously, and show potential for Christian leadership. Your nomination may be the spark that helps a young man open his heart more fully to God's call.
I ask each of you to prayerfully submit the name of at least one (or several) such young men. You may use the cards provided at Mass or submit names online at ajvocations.org. For those under 18, please include their parents' names as well.
This effort is dear to my heart. With your thoughtful participation, I am confident the Lord will raise up many new shepherds for his people. May this campaign bear lasting fruit for our diocese and for the salvation of souls.
Sincerely in Christ,
Most Rev. Mark L. Bartchak

Now is a great time to pick a theme and begin to construct it. Baskets should have a retail of at least $25. Please cover your basket with clear cellophane so items are visible, attach a card with a list of contents and drop it off at the rectory by November 5th. We are also in need of baked goods to sell. Drop off to the hall after 12PM on Saturday and 8AM on Sunday. Please call the rectory, 814-443- 6574 if you are able to volunteer. CCD & Confirmation students can earn service hours by volunteering.
