Ministry Training Days

We are looking for volunteers to attend a training session on Mental Health Ministry and/or Disability Ministry that are being offered by our dioceses. Both sessions are at St. Joseph the Worker Church, Orefield, Pa. from 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM. On Tuesday, April 21, 2026 the session will be on the Mental Health Ministry and on Wednesday, April 22, 2026 it will be on the Disability Ministry. Clergy and volunteers are encouraged to attend to gain foundational knowledge about disabilities and mental health, and to explore practical ways to remove barriers so parishes may be places of true welcome and belonging for all. These events are free, but registration is required by April 17th. Please direct all questions to Maggie Riggins, MRIGGINS@ALLENTOWNDIOCESE.ORG

Honoring our Military 

We would like to make May a month to honor our military. I ask anyone who has served or is serving to help us with this project. If you or someone you know has served (including parishioners who are deceased) or is serving please pick up a paper in the back of the church or at the parish center and answer the questions. Then place it in the collection basket or bring it back to the parish center before April 19th. This will give us time to organize the presentation for the Month of May. Any questions, call Teresa 570-578-8322.
