In light of Bishop Mark's statement about impending weather on Sunday Morning 1/25/2026, I am hereby cancelling all CCD Classes on Sunday January 25th. Weather may prohibit Mass attendance on Sunday morning, but I urge everyone to plan ahead and attempt to go to the 4pm Mass on Saturday January 24th, presuming the bad weather has not yet set in. -Fr. Matthew

SPECIAL STATEMENT FROM BISHOP MARK (1-22-2026)
The National Weather Service has issued a severe winter weather warning for Central Pennsylvania. Severe winter weather is expected to occur Saturday, January 25 and Sunday, January 26. Significant snowfall and high winds are expected. Public safety officials advise against unnecessary travel.
This storm will likely prevent attendance at Sunday Mass at their parish. Church law states that if participation in the Sunday Eucharistic celebration is impossible for a grave cause, Catholics are dispensed/excused from the obligation to participate at Sunday Mass in person. The expected severe weather conditions are a grave cause.
If the faithful are prevented from attending Sunday Mass in person, they should at least view the live Mass from St. John Gualbert Cathedral in Johnstown at 11:00 am. Other televised Masses may be found on EWTN, which usually televises Mass more than once per day. If a TV Mass is not available, the faithful are to spend some time for prayer and reading of Sacred Scripture at home.

A parishioner reached out to me and made me aware of a scam text circulating.
The phone number is from 619-302-2862. That is NOT my cell number or any phone number associated with me.
I have called the State Police to make them aware of this scam.
If you receive a text in my name asking for help, please verify it with me first by calling the rectory phone number and talking to me directly.
I did find that this number and scam hit another priest from a different diocese, so it appears to be affecting churches. Just be aware and verify before responding.
Thanks, Fr. Matthew ... the real Fr. Matthew
