The offering of Mass for deceased loved ones is a real spiritual gift
to assist souls in purgatory and allow our beloved dead to know of
our loving remembrance. Many people have Masses said in their
parishes on death anniversaries or other significant dates. Masses
may also be offered for the intentions of the living. The stipend for
a Mass intention is $10. The parish secretary will record the requests.

Bishop Bambera will embark on a unique spiritual journey that
he has never undertaken before. Beginning July 13, he will walk a
portion of the Camino de Santiago, an ancient Christian pilgrimage
route that has drawn believers from around the world for centuries.
Over the course of seven days, through July 19, he will walk
approximately 100 miles across northern Spain, traveling toward
Santiago de Compostela and its cathedral, the traditional burial place
of Saint James the Apostle, the destination of all those pilgrims who
walk the Camino. For many pilgrims, the Camino is much more than
a physical challenge. It is a time of prayer, reflection, renewal, and
a deeper encounter with God. Each step becomes an opportunity to
slow down, listen to the Lord’s voice, and reflect upon the blessings
and challenges of life. As Bishop Bambera prepares for this
pilgrimage, which has long been a personal goal and one that has
special significance for him this year, having celebrated his 70th
birthday and 16th anniversary as Bishop of Scranton, he would like
to carry the people of the Diocese of Scranton with him in a special
way. The Bishop plans to pray for the intentions of the faithful of the
Diocese of Scranton. All prayer intentions should be submitted
online prior to noon, July 8. To submit a Prayer Intention to the
Bishop, go to: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/CaminoPrayers
