There’s no way around it. We have a number of things going on these last weeks of summer. They’re all important. They all deserve some attention on this page. I’ll try to give each of them space in the bulletin these next few weekends. First, it’s Little League. That’s a time to be especially attentive to how we welcome people. Don’t think for a moment this is just a St Lawrence Church thing. Fans and teams have always shown up at any and all of our parishes in Lycoming County. We routinely had Little League people come to Resurrection...

The goal is to make Sunday mornings a shared time for the entire parish community to learn, pray, and strengthen their relationship with God. From September 14 through May 17 New Time: 9:30–10:40 AM More information on PREP and high school mi...

At the end of June, whether from a seat in the cathedral or facing a computer or TV screen, many of us watched Fr McCarroll’s ordination. That ancient ritual contains any number of striking moments: the candidates prostrate before the altar while we sang the Litany of Saints, the long prayer that asked God to change these deacons into priests, the moment when each of the newly ordained, for the first time, shared aloud a part in the Eucharistic Prayer. But, one rite that many of you commented on was the laying on of hands—first the bishop, then the procession...

These past few weeks and months, I’ve had rather a lot to say about today’s Dedication Anniversary. Let’s pause for a few moments and reflect on the prayers that were offered that day, 50 years ago. They’re words that, yes, tell us about a building. But they’re words that describe our work as Church. 50 years ago, the Bishop prayed, “Here may the waters of baptism overwhelm the shame of sin; here may your people die to sin and live again through grace as your children.” Still, we’re called to evangelize, to draw those who s...
