DIOCESAN WEBSITE: UNITED IN FAITH

Pray for peace in Ukraine

EUCHARISTIC ADORATION is held at Resurrection Church on the first Friday of every month, from 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM. This Holy Hour will consist of Exposition, proclamation of a Gospel reading, short homily, the Litany of the Holy Eucharist will be chanted and followed by silent prayer.  The Holy Hour will conclude with Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament. Please join us on Friday, October 7 at 6:30 PM in Resurrection Church for the next Eucharistic Adoration.

EXPOSITION AND BENEDICTION is held the second Monday of each month after the 6:30 PM Mass at St. Clare of Assisi Church. All  are welcome on Monday, October 10 to attend.
Heavenly Father, the beauty and dignity of human life was the crowning of your creation.
You further ennobled that life when your Son became one with us in his incarnation.
Help us to realize the sacredness of human life and to respect it from the moment of conception until the last moment at death.
Give us courage to speak with truth and love and with conviction in defense of life.
Help us to extend the gentle hand of mercy and forgiveness to those who do not reverence your gift of life.
To all, grant pardon for the times we have failed to be grateful for your precious gift of life or to respect it in others.
We ask this in Jesus’ Name.   Amen.

Sunday’s readings urge us to wait in hope, and remind us that we are equipped by the Holy Spirit with power to love and have self-control. Through God’s invitation and grace, we can use our gifts as faithful disciples and prudent stewards to build up God’s Kingdom here on earth. Like the servant, we are expected to continue to serve our Lord until we have completed the work God has given us. Our very lives belong to God.
 
When we share our time, talents, and finances we should not ask, “What’s in it for me?” Whatever we do on God’s behalf with our lives and our gifts is simply our God-given responsibility.

News & Events

Pray the Liturgy of the Hours

Lectio divina is a form of meditation rooted in liturgical celebration that dates back to early monastic communities. It was a method practiced by monks in their daily encounter with Scripture, both as they prepared for the Eucharist and as they prayed the Liturgy of the Hours.
The Latin phrase “lectio divina” may be translated as “divine reading.”  As one reads and invites the Word to become a transforming lens that brings the events of daily living into focus, one can come to live more deeply and find the presence of God more readily in the events of each day. The method of lectio divina follows four steps:
  • lectio (reading)
  • meditatio (meditation)
  • contemplatio (contemplation)
  • and oratio (prayer)

Use these Lectio Divina guides to meditate, contemplate, and pray.

WHY PAINTING AND REPAIRS ARE NEEDED

A little bird (ok, it was a drone) flew around the inside of Resurrection church to get a better look at some of the reasons we are needing to repair, replaster and paint! Thank you for your continued financial support to undertake this monumentous task! We received word that we were denied a grant by Sherwin-Williams.
RESURRECTION CHURCH PAINTING: The Resurrection Church building will temporarily close for painting beginning in January 2023. It will be closed for approximately five months. During this time all Masses will be celebrated at St. Clare of Assisi Church, this includes all Mass intentions scheduled at Resurrection. The Resurrection Parish Office will remain open during this time with normal business hours.
A first step! We have received a proposed computer rendition of the basic colors for the walls and ceiling of the church. The shade of the colors will be “tweaked.” The detailing is not portrayed in the picture. So the columns, blue arch around the sanctuary, capitals and lights around the body of the church are not “changed” in this picture. Again: this is NOT the final rendition simply a starting point.

The Churches of Cambria City Walking Tour

The grand success of the Cambria Iron Company in the late nineteenth century led thousands of immigrants to Johnstown, with many settling in Cambria City and Minersville. As a result, ten ethnic churches were built within the fourteen-acre Ward, with each serving purposes beyond religious faith. Each tour will begin at the Heritage Discovery Center.
                         Heritage Discovery Center
                         201 6th Ave - Cambria City

Due to the nature of this tour, we are limiting the number of tickets available to 20 per tour; the tour will be offered September 24, and October 15.

Tours will only feature the exterior of these churches, as many are active establishments.

Ticket Prices:
– Student $5.00
– Adult $7.00
– Senior $5.00
