Remember to call the parish office if you have a family member who is no longer able to attend Mass and wishes to receive Holy Communion. We can schedule a time to visit at least once a month. Our elderly often attend Mass and receive the sacraments, and we do them a great disfavor when we neglect to inform the parish of their present needs, and thus deprive them of the sacraments. Please call the office at 570-648-4432.
