Church of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Parish

Church of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Parish The Church of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary has served the 8th Ward community of Johnstown for almost 100 years. ANY OTHER PAGES ARE FAKE!

THIS IS THE OFFICIAL PAGE OF VISITATION PARISH! The Church of the Visitation is a Catholic Community rooted in God’s ongoing present among us in Jesus Christ, the Word made flesh, and by the Holy Spirit who assists us in prayerful refection upon God’s Word and the celebration of the Sacraments which culminate in the gathered assembly celebrating the Eucharist. From this celebration our community

goes forth to instruct all persons in the faith and to engage in the work of justice in all in our foundational relationships with God, our neighbor, ourselves, and our world. Therefore, we strive to engage the universal call to holiness in the spirit of Vatican II through our commitment to Christ, through the special intersession of the Blessed Virgin Mary of the Visitation. All are welcome to pray with our community regardless of race, gender, nationality, social status, sexuality, or any other experience that often can lead to marginalization in our broken world which allows for diverse membership in our community. We seek to integrate millennials and centennials into our faith community while continuing to benefit from the more mature members of our communion in faith. Our community is dynamic, seeking to build the Kingdom of God in our portion of the Lord’s vineyard. All are welcome to join our in our journey as the Pilgrim People of God. We hope to engage members and to invite new members to share in our celebrations of the Lord through WORD, SACRAMENT AND ACTS OF JUSTICE.

Part 2 Posting: On October 17th, parishioners from Visitation Parish, as well as parishioners from all over the Johnstown area and beyond, boarded three charter buses and made their pilgrimage to the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington D.C. They spent the day exploring, reflecting and praying as they made their way through the Shrine and attended a mass at 2:00 PM lead by our diocese's own Bishop Mark Bartchak as the principal celebrant. Some of our parishioners partook in the mass itself, those individuals being Kristyn Amendola as an altar server, Evelyn Haggerty and Patti Price as gift bearers, and Catherine Bennett, Kathleen Bumbernick and Andrea Nosko as part of the choir. We are very proud of them and hope that those who attended, had thoroughly enjoyed their day!
