THE 2025 CATHOLIC MINISTRIES DRIVE
Your sacrificial gifts of prayer and treasure will make an immediate impact on ministries that focus on evangelization,
serving those in need and formation of our priests and deacons.
During Lent, and throughout the year, we are challenged to renew our spiritual devotions and duties
and one of those holy duties is to support the Church.
This year’s  theme, “Follow Me” (Mt 16:24), invites us into a deeper relationship with Christ,
as we share in His mission of love and service, proclaiming the Good News to all.
There is no limit to what we can accomplish together in Christ.

PLEASE MAIL YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS DIRECTLY TO THE DIOCESE OF ALTOONA/JOHNSTOWN
or you may make an online gift at www.dioceseaj.org/giving.
Our diocesan ministries need your support.
All gifts received beyond the parish target amount will be used for your parish. 



WE ARE IN THE FINAL MONTHS OF THE 2025 CATHOLIC MINISTRIES DRIVE:  The totals thru Oct. 31, 2025 are as follows:  Resurrection Parish: Pledges received $19,800.00 of the $32,000.00 goal with 66 families participating; and St. Clare of Assisi Parish: (Surpassed their goal!) Pledges received $10,805.00 of the $8,700.00 goal with 30 families participating.

EUCHARISTIC ADORATION

EUCHARISTIC ADORATION will be held on First Friday, January 2, from 6:30 to 7:30 PM at Resurrection Church. All are welcome.

EXPOSITION AND BENEDICTION is held the second Monday of each month at St. Clare of Assisi church after the 6:30 PM Mass.  The next exposition will take place on January 12.
​
 ANDREW ADORATION CHAPEL, 1621 Ferndale Ave, Johnstown:
In this blessed time of Eucharistic Revival in our Church, consider visiting and/or committing to an hour at our Perpetual Adoration Chapel. We are always seeking adorers and substitutes. The chapel is open Sunday morning immediately following the 10:30 Mass and remains open until 7:20 AM on Saturday morning each week. Consider giving one hour to our Lord. One does not need to be a member of St. Andrew Parish in order to visit or commit in any way. Currently, we are most in need of committed adorers on Tuesday, 12 AM (midnight) to 1 AM, and Thursday morning, 1:00 AM - 2:00 AM. Many hours only have one adorer, and it is preferable to have two each hour. Please call 814-288-4324, Ext. 5, visit https://standrewjtown.weadorehim.com/en/schedule, or feel free to call or text Terri Roy at 815-255-5645 if you feel Our Lord is calling you to sign up for an hour or have any questions. Jesus is waiting for you!

ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISI: Connect with your Creator, Redeemer, and Spiritual Guide in a stress-free environment at the Eucharistic Adoration every first Friday of the month from 9:30 AM until 5:30 PM at St. Francis of Assisi Church. It is important that each ½ hour or hour have two adorers to adore and protect the Blessed Sacrament. ​

dvent is a time of hopeful anticipation as we prepare to celebrate the remembrance of the Lord’s first coming and, also, recalling his final coming in glory at the end of time. There are many preparations for Christmas that demand our time and attention. Make sure to fill your Advent days with prayerful preparation. Read scripture, pray the rosary with special attention to the Joyful Mysteries and spend time before the Blessed Sacrament. Advent is a time of hope and faith.
 
​
O Lord, I come before You with a heart that longs
for Your light and Your comfort.
In this season, help me to lay down every fear that has followed me,
every thought that troubles my mind,
and every worry that tries to weaken my faith.
Fill the deep places of my soul with hope that does not fade,
hope that stands firm even when everything around me feels uncertain.
Let Your presence be like a warm flame within me,
reminding me that You never leave Your children alone.
Teach me to trust You in the waiting,
to believe in Your timing,
and to rest in the truth that Your plans are filled with goodness.
Strengthen me so that I may walk through each day
with a calm heart, knowing that You are guiding me gently and faithfully.  Amen.

As we begin the second week of Advent, let us recall our motto for this season: we are climbing God’s holy mountain. Our readings inspire us and help us focus on this journey toward holiness.
 
Our first reading from the prophet Isaiah continues the theme of a journey towards the holy mountain, the Kingdom of God. The prophet gives us a beautiful glimpse of this mountain, where Christ will reign forever. It will be a place of peace, justice, and harmony among all God’s creatures. “There shall be no harm or ruin in all my holy mountain… (This) dwelling shall be glorious.”
 
As we straighten the paths of our own hearts and minds, we become more hospitable people, better stewards of God’s grace and mercy, and far more open and ready to invite others into our lives, homes and parishes. We climb farther up God’s holy mountain and attract others to join us on the path toward holiness. This is preparation fitting for our merciful Savior.

SOLEMNITY OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION
Monday, December 8
​Patroness of the Americas

Father, the image of the Virgin is found in your Church.  Mary had a faith that your Spirit prepared and a love that never knew sin, for you kept her sinless from the first moment of her conception.  Trace in our actions the lines of her love, in our hearts her readiness of faith.  Prepare once again a world for your Son who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever.
This feast celebrates that she, who was to bear the Incarnate Word of God, was immaculate herself from the first moment of her conception. Our country places itself under the protection of our patroness, Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception.  Please honor our Blessed Mother by attending Mass and by praying the Rosary.  Mass will be celebrated on Monday, December 8 at 8:00 AM at St. Clare of Assisi Church and at 6:30 PM at Resurrection Church. The Parish Offices will be closed.

PRAYER FOR OUR NATION

Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for a beautiful country in which to live and all of her abundant, natural resources.  Forgive us for our pride when we have not done enough to help our neighbors. Forgive us for our failures in reason and fairness. Forgive us for turning from you. Lead us into the next era of our nation so that we may honor You. Restore unity to this great country so that we may lead others to freedom and ultimately to faith in You. Bless those who serve in public office and guide their decisions. Please keep members of our military and public safety divisions safe as they serve and protect us all. Divinely intervene to protect those willing to lay down their lives for their fellow Americans. Keep us in the palm of your hand as we turn our eyes to You. Thank You for all of our many blessings and for giving Your son for our eternal future. Comfort all those who are mourning and heal our land. Amen.

Picture
ADVENT FAITH-SHARING: I will be hosting an Advent faith-sharing series based on the book An Unlikely Advent by Rachel Billups.  This four-week gathering will focus on the experiences of four sets of often overlooked characters in the Nativity story. The book highlights the themes of hope, love, joy, and peace by sharing the stories of Elizabeth and Zechariah, Herod, the Magi, and the shepherds. Each set of unexpected characters has something to teach about living faithfully on the journey to Christmas.  The classes will take place in Resurrection Parish’s Oratory from 6:30 PM until 7:30 PM on the first four Tuesdays in December.  All are invited.
