Fr. Bill Health: I have some type of muscular injury somewhere in my mid-section. At the time of the writing of the bulletin, I am waiting on an ultrasound to see what it is, and to see if I will need surgery, or some other way of addressing it. I am also now going to a chiropractor, and that has been helpful. This affects my pace & what I am able to commit to-thank you for your understanding & prayers. I will update you as things progress. Fr. Bill

The Knights of Columbus is an international order of Catholic men who are called to lead with faith, protect our families, serve others, and defend values in a busy changing world.

If you missed the drive or you have not yet filled out the membership card and would like to become a member of this group of Catholic men, there are membership cards available at the entrance to the churches that you can fill out and place in the small collection bags beside the cards. The cards and bags will be available through April 6th. If you have any questions, contact Milton Roos (814) 345-6563.
The Harvey family thanks everyone for their comforting expressions of support, cards, flowers & food. Thank you to Fr. Bill for the beautiful funeral mass & sermon.

Recently, I have Confirmed 3 inmates at Quehanna Boot Camp, and gave 2 inmates their First Holy Communion. I have heard 1st Confessions as well, and a lot of very good confessions.

The inmates receive communion & catechesis monthly.
