WEEK OF PRAYER FOR CHRISTIAN UNITY
The annual Week of Prayer for Christian Unity will be observed from January 18 through January 25. This important observance encourages us to renew our commitment to pray and work for greater unity among all followers of Jesus Christ.
Sixty-two years ago, during the Second Vatican Council, the Catholic Church promulgated the Decree on Ecumenism, bringing the Church more fully into the modern ecumenical movement.
An Ecumenical Celebration of God’s Word will be held on Thursday, January 22, 2026, at 12:10 PM, at Saint Peter’s Cathedral in Scranton. All are welcome to attend. The celebration will also be televised on the Diocesan Catholic Television Network (CTV) on Cable Channel 97.
Please join in praying for the reunion of all Christians, that one day we may truly be one.
Let us pray: Lord Jesus Christ, who prayed that all may be one, strengthen our desire for unity among all who call upon Your name. Heal what divides us, deepen our charity, and lead us ever closer to the day when all Christians may worship You together in faith and love.
Amen.

FREE BOOK FROM FR. ED MICHELINI
Fr. Ed Michelini has purchased the Book: Three Days – The Search for the Boy Messiah by Chris Stephen and published by Dynamic Catholic. It is a Biblical Novel for Adults telling the compelling tale about 12 year-old Jesus, based on the second chapter of Luke’s Gospel. Jesus was lost in the Temple for three days when he traveled to Jerusalem with his parents, Mary and Joseph, for the Jewish Passover. It’s a story for the child in all of us. Why did he stay behind? What did he do? Who did he meet? Where did he sleep? Was he ever in danger? If you are interested in a copy, simply stop by the parish office to pick up a copy or call the office at 570-788-1997, EXT 3 and we will reserve a copy for you to pick up. It is a good interesting and light read for the fall season.

CARING FOR THE HOMELESS IN THE HAZLETON AREA—CALLING FOR VOLUNTEERS!!
Do you remember Jesus saying, “when I was hungry, you fed me…” and have you ever thought, I could do that? Well, you can! The Divine Providence Shelter, supported by Catholic Social Services, is open daily from 7 pm until 8 am and provides homeless people a dinner meal, a place to refresh their bodies, and a warm place to sleep. There are two sleep areas to serve 10 women and 10 men. In addition to providing shelter for the night, support staff provide counseling and assistance to help individuals find work and find a home.
Since the spring of 2016, volunteers from Sacred Heart Church have been providing monthly evening meals twice a month at the Divine Providence Shelter for homeless people in Hazleton on the first Monday and third or fourth Saturday. Judy Hall has been coordinating the Monday meals and Louisa and Patty Sinex have been coordinating the Saturday meals. A team from St. John Bosco, lead by Andrea Fendrick has been providing a meal every month since 2017 on the second Monday. As time has passed, many of our volunteers are no longer able to continue to support this work of mercy, and we are looking for others to participate in providing meals for those in need.
Those without a home or place to sleep need a nutritious meal as much as any us. A nutritious meal includes an entre e accompanied by a complementary starch and vegetable, a salad or fresh vegetables, bread and butter, fresh fruit, dessert and a beverage. The volunteer team lovingly decides what to provide in the way of a meal, prepares it, delivers it to the shelter and serves the hungry homeless people, who usually number between 12 and 20 per night. The volunteers contribute their time, their labor and the cost of the full meal.
We invite you to consider helping us to continue serving the meals at the shelter by joining those of us who continue doing so.
Join the Mission of Catholic Social Services!
Catholic Social Services is looking to update and expand our current "Auxiliary" group—and we’re also searching for a new name that welcomes both men and women!

REMINDER
After you graduate and become employed, it is necessary for you to contact the parish office to set up an appointment with the Pastor to formally join. We have many individuals who are in their late 20's thru their 50's who never registered on their own and are listed as a child under their parents’ name. This is especially important if you are asked to be a Godparent at a Baptism or Sponsor at Confirmation or if you need a letter of recommendation. Don't put this off or you will be disappointed. Baptism in our parish does NOT mean that you are officially registered here.
