Each spring, the Lebanon Motorcycle Club gathers for a special blessing of their bikes. Riders and passengers alike cherish the freedom of the open road, while also seeking God’s protection for the journeys ahead. This year, the club gathered at Our Lady of Fatima Mission in Jonestown on Saturday, April 18, where Deacon Richard Wentzel lead them in prayer and bestowed the blessing. Be safe out there!
Throwback: After prayer and blessing the bikes, Father Dagle enjoyed a ride in the sidecar with the Lebanon Valley Motorcycle Club. (2019 maybe)
In the quiet presence of the Eucharist, we are renewed.
Join us for our Annual 40 Hours Devotion: May 10, 11, 12
A time of prayer and Adoration of Our Lord. Each evening at 7:00 PM, Rev. David M. Hereshko from Mary Gate of Heaven in Myerstown will be the homilist.

Thank you, The Fun Day Committee
Print or save this page to pray everyday for the nine days.
For each of the nine days, our Lord gave Saint Faustina a different intention:
All mankind, especially sinners; the souls of priests and religious; all devout and faithful souls; those who do not believe in God and those who do not yet know Jesus; the souls who have separated themselves from the Church; the meek and humble souls and the souls of little children; the souls who especially venerate and glorify His mercy; the souls detained in purgatory; and souls who have become lukewarm.
“I desire that during these nine days you bring souls to the fountain of My mercy, that they may draw therefrom strength and refreshment and whatever grace they have need of in the hardships of life, and especially at the hour of death” (Diary, 1209).

🎁 Calling All Creative Hearts!
Do you love putting things together, making something beautiful, and bringing joy to others?
St. Mary’s is looking for a volunteer — or a small team — to take the lead on our beloved Christmas Bazaar Gift Baskets, a tradition lovingly handled for years by Marion Bleistine.
It’s time to pass the cellophane 😉
These baskets are a BIG part of our bazaar — and one of the most fun parts too!
✨ We will help
✨ We will support
✨ You will NOT be doing this alone
🙏 Please take a moment to pray about it… you might be just the person God is calling for this special role.
