Monday Evenings starting April 15
6:00 PM - 7:30 PM
St. Margaret Mary Church • Freude Room

If you have experienced the loss of a loved one during the past two years or longer (if needed), you are invited to participate in a six-week Bereavement Program. This loss is often accompanied by a multitude of feelings not easily understood as one works through the grief process. The parishes of St. Margaret Mary, Mt. St. Peter, St. Mary, and St. Joseph will be included in this program.

The group will begin meeting on Monday, April 15, 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm, and will continue for six consecutive weeks at St. Margaret Mary’s in the Freude Room. Leigh Bach, a Bereavement Coordinator with Heartland Hospice, will facilitate these sessions.

To register, please call St. Margaret Mary Parish Office at 724-335-2336.

Tuesdays after 7:00 PM Mass
April 16 - June 11
Mt. St. Peter Church

The St. Anthony Novena will be recited nine consecutive Tuesdays beginning April 16 through and including June 11 after the 7:00 PM Mass** at Mount Saint Peter Parish.

** Please note: During the nine weeks of the Novena, the 8:30 AM Mass will be discontinued and moved to 7:00 PM. Once the Novena has concluded, the 8:30 AM Mass will recommence on June 18.

The rosary will be recited before Mass at 6:25 PM. Traditional prayers will be said. All are welcome from the NKCC and surrounding areas as we unite in prayer for individual, community, and global needs seeking the intercession of St. Anthony to our heavenly Father. Bread distribution and a reception are planned for June 11.

Please contact Melinda at melsyzig@gmail.com with any questions concerning the St. Anthony Novena or the Mt. St. Peter St. Anthony Guild.
