Pope Francis has announced ‘Pilgrims of Hope’ is the theme for the Holy Year 2025. A Holy Year, or Jubilee, is a time of pilgrimage, prayer, repentance, and acts of mercy, based on the Old Testament tradition of a Jubilee Year of rest, forgiveness, and renewal. 

Bishop Joseph C. Bambera will lead a Pilgrimage to Italy and Rome from Aug. 31-Sept. 9, 2025, in celebration of the Holy Year. The trip will include a Papal Audience, Masses celebrated daily at various Basilicas and Cathedrals, a unique opportunity to visit the Scavi, a tour of the necropolis under St. Peter’s Basilica culminating at the tomb of St. Peter, and much more. 

For more information, including a day-by-day itinerary, visit the Diocese of Scranton website at dioceseofscranton.org.

Upcoming & Current Events

  • NOTICE TO PARENTS

    On Thursday March 3, 2022, a "Masking Recommended" policy will take effect in our religious education program.  Beginning on this date, masks will be recommended, not required.  Between now and then, we can plan and monitor the factors which influence making rationale.  Of course, after the transition, there will still be a reason to require a mask such as when an individual contracts COVID-19 or if someone has encountered a person with a confirmed case of COVID-19.  Obviously, if a spike in cases in the community returns, so will the mask requirement policy.  Please discuss this in your families and in the classroom so we may all be informed and understood.  All other measures will remain in place, including, proper hand hygiene, regular cleaning and disinfecting procedures and proper distancing as classroom space allows.  Anyone who is sick or symptomatic should remain at home.  Thank you for your cooperation!

  • The Sacrament of Marriage

    In order to properly prepare for marriage, it is expected that the couple contact the pastor before making other arrangements for the wedding. This initial contact should be at least six months prior to the desired date of marriage.
