Starting Monday, December 4, our morning Mass schedule will change a bit to reflect the addition of three morning Masses being offered at St. Mary. With the adding of three weekday Masses at St. Mary, Mount Saint Peter, Saint Margaret Mary and Saint Joseph, which for some time have had five weekday Masses offered in each parish, each of the three will have one weekday Mass taken from their respective schedules (this deletion occurred at Saint Margaret Mary months ago), thus allowing the three Masses to be offered at St. Mary. The weekday Mass schedule, starting Monday, December 4, will be as follows: •Saint Margaret Mary = 7:30 AM Mass - Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday (7:30 AM Mass on Friday was eliminated months ago) •Mount Saint Peter = 8:30 AM Mass - Tuesday, Wednesday Thursday, Friday (8:30 AM Monday Mass is eliminated) •Saint Joseph = 12:30 PM Mass on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday (12 NN Mass on Thursday is eliminated) •Saint Mary = 8:30 AM on Monday, 12:30 PM on Thursday, 9:30 AM Mass on Friday **Please note that all 12 Noon Masses will now be moved to 12:30 PM.** https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f775b52d7c2ac52985f3b36/1732564063127-OWQYS485TVTGCQ1K8BKC/SMM+Instagram_Started+January+2022.png HP Upcoming Events - Thanksgiving Regional Mass Thursday, November 28, 2024 St. Margaret Mary Church 10:00 AM All are welcome to celebrate this special day of thanks with a Regional Mass at St. Margaret Mary Church at 10:00 AM on Thursday, November 28.

St. Peter Church & St. Margaret Mary Church Come support our youth and their love for Jesus at their bake sale! Members of the youth group will be outside after all Masses at Saint Margaret Mary and Mount Saint Peter on Saturday, February 8 and Sunday, February 9. All proceeds will go towards their trips to the Steubenville Conference in July and the National Catholic Youth Conference (NCYC) in November. Both conferences give opportunities to come to know Jesus with other youth from across the country! WHAT IS STEUBENVILLE AND NCYC? WHY ARE WE FUNDRAISING? Steubenville and NCYC are conferences for high school students. During these conferences, young people are given the opportunity to connect with their Catholic faith through dynamic speakers, personal testimonies, opportunities for Eucharistic Adoration, Confession, Mass and small group discussions. They are also given the opportunity to experience Christ through their peers with fun games, concerts and more! It is a chance for the youth to experience the universal church, empower young people for a mission, and have a personal encounter with Jesus. Many teens have said these conferences were life-changing for them and changed their relationship with Jesus and their Catholic faith. The theme for the Steubenville Conference this year is “Consumed”. Cost per student is $325. The theme for NCYC this year is “I Am”. Cost per student is $550. All fundraising helps to defray the cost for each student. Without fundraising, a student may have to miss the opportunity to attend one or both of these experiences. Stop by our table after Mass to grab some goodies and sweet treats! Any support you can give for our young people to attend these conferences is greatly appreciated! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f775b52d7c2ac52985f3b36/1737472198466-FB2O2YHPAZE40A2RXAAT/70.png HP Upcoming Events - BIBLE STUDY - Luke: The Story of Salvation Fulfilled Thursdays - Starting January 30 1:00 PM Marble Hall - Mt.

Kulick Follow Bishop Larry J. Kulick throughout Lent with his special podcast, Desert Diaries. If you hear the word “desert” and think of emptiness, struggles or something you’d rather avoid, you’re not alone. But in Scripture, the desert isn’t a place God abandons people – it’s often where he meets them most deeply. As we continue our journey through Lent, Bishop Kulick explores how Jesus’ time in the desert can help us understand our own struggles and questions, and the places in our lives that God is asking us to grow and intentionally change the way we walk toward Easter. You can watch or listen to Desert Diaries at theaccentonline.org or download from where you download your podcasts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f775b52d7c2ac52985f3b36/1768837667379-QDE0LF44CQKYLREPZ2EN/2026+Steubenville+.jpg HP Other Regional News and Events - Steubenville Youth Conference JUNE 26-28, 2026 Franciscan University of Steubenville 1235 University Blvd Steubenville, OH 43952 Inviting high-schoolers into a life-changing encounter with Christ!

Gaston. Following Jesus in Holy Week through the eyes of Peter We will reflect on Peter’s misunderstandings of Jesus, yet Jesus’ patience trust in him to the end. Peter is every person trying to understand the mysterious ways of God which often do not meet our normal expectations. As Peter’s relationship with Jesus is tested, so is ours. The Holy Spirit is given to us to stay faithful to the end. Easter seals the deal! Sessions will take place the following Thursday evenings in March: March 7th Holy Thursday: Peter rejects the Washing of Feet John 13:18 “You shall never wash my feet…” March 14th Good Friday: Peter’s fears about Jesus and himself Matthew 26:33-35 “Even if all fall away on account of you, I never will.” Matthew 28:72 “He denied it again, with an oath: “I don’t know the man!” March 21st Easter: Peter is Reconciled with Jesus and given his two-fold mission John 21:16-19 “Do you love me…feed my sheep…follow me” Each session, which includes Evening Prayer, will be in the church from 7:00 to 8:15 PM with a reception following. Please join us for this special evening of reflection. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f775b52d7c2ac52985f3b36/1696733667412-T4H6Y80RYDWXYV656LPO/podcast+Know+Him+Stunned+Disciples+square.jpg HP Other Regional News and Events - Stunned Disciples Podcast Imagine being one of Jesus’ closest friends.
