New Bathroom Installation
A second bathroom is being installed in the back of the church. The project should be completed by the end of June. Bathrooms in the school building will be accessible through the courtyard during Mass.
No Morning Mass this Wednesday
This Wednesday, June 24, we will not have our usual 6:15am Mass. The only Mass that day will be the 7pm.
June Sunday Afternoon Sports
We will be restarting Sunday Afternoon Sports today for those who are interested. We will play Ultimate Frisbee at Wormleysburg Park (just over the river via the Harvey Tailor Bridge) starting at 1:30pm (after our 12 noon Mass). There is a pavilion area for those who just want to sit and relax; and this park is also in Cumberland County, which will be in the green phase by then, allowing for bigger social gatherings. Transportation must be worked out on your own. Please email Fr. Killackey with any questions at fr.killackey@materdeipa.com.
Reminder: June 29 Confraternity Indulgence
A plenary indulgence is granted under the usual conditions to the members of the Confraternity of St. Peter on the day of their admission and each February 22 and June 29.
