Our Faith…Our Diocese

In the May 20^th edition of Our Faith…Our Diocese:

We’ll share with you highlights of two Masses of Thanksgiving for the Election of Pope Leo XIV that were celebrated in our Diocese including one at Sacred Heart Parish in Peckville on May 9^th and the Diocesan Mass of Thanksgiving that Bishop Bambera celebrated on May 14^th at the Cathedral of Saint Peter. 

We’ll introduce you to one of our seminarians, Jan Carlo Perez.  On Saturday, May 24th, at the Cathedral of Saint Peter,  Bishop Bambera will ordain Jan a deacon for service in the Diocese of Scranton. On this day, Jan will move one step closer towards attaining his dream of serving the Church of Scranton and its people as a Diocesan priest. 

We’ll take you to Holy Cross Parish in Olyphant where 24 children recently received Holy Communion for the very first time.

We’ll see how Saint John Neumann Regional Academy in Williamsport recently held an open house for both their Elementary and High School Campuses…an opportunity for prospective parents to check out the schools and see what Saint John Neumann offers their students in terms of a quality education rooted in faith.

 And we’ll see how hundreds of women from around the Diocese will soon be gathering at Marywood University for the annual Catholic Women’s Conference.
