Mass Schedule — Immaculate Conception - On December 8th, for the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, we will have a 7pm Mass in addition to our morning 7am Mass.
Weekly Adoration Tuesdays - The church is now open for adoration from 8am-1pm on Tuesdays. If you are interested in adoration but can not commit to a weekly hour please consider signing up to be an alternate for our scheduled adorers. Please Contact Amanda Healy 717-847-4871.
Legion of Mary - If you are interested in joining the Mater Dei Legion of Mary, please contact the office.
Mater Dei Stocking Stuffers - Consider contacting the office to purchase a Mater Dei mug for Christmas this year. Mugs are available for $5 in dark blue or white.
Registration at Mater Dei - The Chaplain and Assistant Chaplain have the special grace to guide those who are registered parishioners and are hence assigned to their care. The Mass offered for the people every Sunday, Pro Populo, is offered for those who are registered members. Anyone seeking the Sacraments of Baptism, 1st Communion, Confirmation and Matrimony here must be registered and active parishioners for 6 months. Registration forms are available on our website.
Adult Catechism Class - Fr. Killackey is offering an adult catechism class during the academic year on Monday evenings at 7pm. This class is primarily geared towards those wishing to become Catholic, but any adult wishing to know more about the Faith is welcome to join. If interested, please contact Fr. Killackey at fr.killackey@materdeipa.com.
Candlelight Rorate Mass - On Saturday, December 12, we will have a special 6am Sung Mass. This Rorate Mass is lit only by candlelight. Because it is a votive Mass in Mary’s honor, white vestments are worn instead of Advent violet. In the dimly lit setting, we will prepare to honor the Light of the world, Who is soon to be born, and offer praise to God for the gift of Our Lady. As the Mass proceeds and sunrise approaches, the church becomes progressively brighter, illumined by the sun as our Faith is illumined by Christ. Rising early on a Saturday to attend would be an excellent sacrifice to make during the season of Advent.
Mater Dei Email List - If you are not on our parish wide email list and wish to be, email ChaplainsSecretary@MaterDeiPA.com to be added.
