Welcome

The Monthly Prayer for Peace Rosary will be held on the 1st day of every month at 5:30 PM.  

** THIS MONTH'S ROSARY WILL BE HELD ON NOVEMBER 1 AT  ........  ST. RICHARD'S ........  FOLLOWING THE MORNING MASS **

Recognizing that with God all things are possible we gather to pray the Rosary seeking the intercession of Mary to bring peace to our world, nation, state, communities, schools, parishes, families, and in our homes.  

Prayer begins in front of the statue of Mary in our parking lot promptly at 5:30 PM - please arrive a few minutes early.  If the weather is bad, we will gather inside the church.

All are invited!  Questions may be directed to Jane Grier at 570-640-7514

A beautiful time spent with family creating an Advent wreath for your home.  Some branches will be supplied - bring some greenery or other things you would like in your wreath.  The wreaths will be blessed by Deacon Ed before you leave.

Watch the bulletin for further information, sign-up, and cost.

Join us for a serene night of prayer, Christmas music, reflections, and light refreshments to celebrate the start of Advent and get into the proper spirit to welcome Jesus at Christmas.

Tuesday, December 2 at 6:30 at St. John XXIII Hall --- watch for the bulletin announcement in November.

SUNDAY, DECEMBER 14 from 6:00 - 8:00 PM

This is a beautiful night where you can spend time with Jesus in a serene and reverent setting in Eucharistic Adoration, with light background music to help set the tone for a deep encounter with Jesus.  

There are typically 2-3 priests available for confession.  And you can light a candle for a special intention, and write a special intention, to place at the altar.

Spend as much time as you like during these two hours and enjoy the quiet reflection, as well as the grace that Jesus will give you, as you give your heart to him and prepare for his coming at Christmas.

Join us for engaging discussion, enlightening information, and socialization while we take a go deeper into Lenten season meaning and how to "Lent" well with a series from FORMED.

Four Tuesdays beginning March 11 through April 1 from 10:00 -  11:30 in the St. John XXIII Hall.
