SUNDAY MASS SCHEDULE
ON MISSION FOR THE CHURCH
ALIVE! will help us envision how our parishes, schools and ministries can best respond
to the changing landscape of our communities
so they can be vital centers of worship and
service. Since 2000, Mass attendance across
the diocese has fallen 40 percent, half our parishes are running
operational deficits, and pending retirements will mean far fewer priests will be available in the future to serve God’s people.
But the possibilities and opportunities are endless!
St. Anne Novena
Saint Anne Parish, Castle Shannon, will
offer its annual Novena in honor of Saint
Anne from July 19-26. The directors for
this year’s Novena will be Fathers Bob and
Dick Gielow, and the theme of their
reflections will be Mercy Today Makes for
a Brighter Tomorrow.
Novena Masses will be offered each day at
the 8:00 A.M. and 6:30 P.M. Masses.
At each Mass, the traditional prayers to
Saint Anne will be offered, entrusting to her
intercession the very serious concerns we have for our marriages, families, children, relationships, employment, health, etc.
Please visit www.stanneparish.com for the complete Novena
schedule as well as the Novena prayers.

A MESSAGE FROM THE DIOCESE
While none of us wish to get sick and end up
in the hospital, we know this sometimes occurs
to us or our neighbors.
When hospitalized, Catholic patients appreciate the opportunity to receive the Eucharist.
Our hospitals in all parts of the Diocese are in
need of Extra-Ordinary Ministers of Holy Communion.
Please consider participating in this wonderful ministry to
those who are hospitalized. Anyone interested can contact
Mr. Adam Blai at 412-456-3000 ext. 3244. Adam will assist
you both in training, and in serving at the hospital of your
choice. The Office of Institutional Ministries of the Diocese
thanks you for your help!
