Quilt, Craft, Pray With Others

Posted on by Debbie Granger
You are invited!
Quilt, Craft, Pray
A new fellowship group is forming at St. Mary’s: “Quilt, Craft, Pray” for anyone who sews, knits, crochets, draws, paints or other creative projects. Our first meeting will be Wednesday, January 31, at 6:30 pm in St. Joseph Hall. Snow date will be Wednesday, February 7. Future meeting dates and times will be discussed.
As a low-key, friendly gathering, it will be a time of fellowship, projects, prayer and short discussions about our Catholic faith.
Everyone is welcome to bring a project to work on during the meeting or just stop by to say hello. There will be opportunities for the group to learn from each other. So, if you always wanted to learn to knit or paint, etc., this is your chance! We also plan to work on projects to help our parishioners such as items for the homebound, new baby, prayer shawls, etc.
If you have any questions contact Karen Scharenbroch at
717-507-9881. kscharenbroch@comcast.net or Patty Price at pprice1641@gmail.com.

Funeral Luncheon Volunteers Needed

Posted on by Debbie Granger

Funeral Luncheon Ministry Update
St. Mary’s is resuming our Funeral Luncheon Ministry in Frederic Hall.
We have a core group of volunteers but are looking for a few new faces.

Volunteers do not have to stay for the entire luncheon but can help before, during or after, as schedules allow.

Even if you cannot help at the luncheon itself, we are also in need of volunteer bakers to supply desserts.

Graces abound for you in assisting with this corporal work of mercy to feed the hungry, and spiritual work of mercy to comfort the afflicted.

Please consider helping! Contact Margie Fava at 717-926-6453.
