This weekend all parishes and missions in the Diocese of Erie are taking a special collection to support the needs of our retired Diocesan priests. This special collection will assist those dedicated priests who are elderly, seriously ill or incapacitated, and in need of supplementary assistance for expenses such as non-insured medical costs, nursing home and long-term care assistance. As the number of retired priests increases in the upcoming years the Priest Retirement Plan will need to be adequately funded to meet their future needs. Your generosity will make a difference in the lives of priests who have served faithfully and serve now as a “thank you” for their many years of faithful service. Help provide them the same love and generosity they provided for us for generations.

Child Protection and Creating Safe Environments- Prevalence of Child Sexual Abuse: Child sexual abuse is a great deal more prevalent than many imagine. Some studies suggest that as many as one in six boys and one in four girls will be the victim of some form of sexual molestation before the age of 18. That means that, directly or indirectly, child sexual abuse will touch most of us during our lifetime. And although we would like to believe that most accusations are false, the facts tell us that children rarely lie about being molested. In fact, they rarely tell anyone at all. An adult study about the prevalence of sexual abuse found that 42% of the men and 33% of the women who were victimized as children had never told anyone. (Source: Sharon Womak Doty, “Refresher from the Protecting God’s Children® Program”) To see what the Diocese of Erie is doing to help maintain safe environments, visit https://www.eriercd.org/childprotection/

All are welcome to join us as we pray the Rosaries at MTP at 6pm on Sunday May 5th.
Yes, we do take pride in the fact it took just 90 minutes for 11 Knights to overcome 3,100 people who purposely threw trash out onto "Scenic Route 6" since our last cleanup. Great job, Knights!
