Interested in Becoming Catholic? ✝️

Have you been thinking about becoming Catholic—or completing the Sacraments you began earlier in life?

St. Mary’s offers OCIA (formerly RCIA) for adults who are:
• Seeking Baptism
• Already baptized in another Christian tradition and interested in becoming Catholic
• Baptized Catholic but wishing to complete their Sacraments of Initiation

We also offer Religious Education for children and young people, helping prepare them for the Sacraments, including First Holy Communion and Confirmation, while growing in their understanding of Scripture, prayer, and our Catholic faith.

Perhaps you’ve been thinking about it for a while. This may be the time to take that next step.

For information or to ask questions, please contact our Director of Religious Education through the parish office at 717-272-5674.

Please share this post—you never know who may be waiting for an invitation. ❤️

We are blessed to offer Eucharistic Adoration every Wednesday at St. Mary’s, beginning immediately after the 8:00 AM Mass and concluding with the Rosary, Divine Mercy Chaplet, and Benediction at 10:30 AM.

We are looking for parishioners who are able to spend some time with Our Lord on Wednesday mornings. During Eucharistic Adoration, the Blessed Sacrament may never be left unattended, so having faithful adorers throughout the morning is an important ministry in the life of our parish.

Whether you can stay for the entire morning or just part of the time, your presence makes a difference. Even one hour—or a portion of an hour—helps ensure that someone is always there in prayer before the Lord.

If your schedule allows, please consider stopping by to spend some quiet time with Jesus.

Our weekly bulletin is prepared and printed by an outside publishing company. By the time it appears on our website each week, it has already been finalized and sent to print. From time to time, errors can happen. If one is discovered, we kindly ask for your patience and understanding. Father will usually clarify it at Mass, and it will be corrected in the following week’s bulletin whenever possible. 
Because the bulletin is finalized before it is posted, changes cannot be made once it has been submitted for printing.
