2024 CATHOLIC MINISTRIES DRIVE
THE 2024 CATHOLIC MINISTRIES DRIVE. Your sacrificial gifts of prayer and treasure will make an immediate impact on ministries that focus on evangelization, serving those in need, and the formation of our priests and deacons.

This year, our campaign’s theme is Encountering Christ. During this time of Eucharistic Revival, Encountering Christ is an invitation to grow in your living relationship with Christ in the Eucharist, to open your heart to serving your brothers and sisters, and to fulfill your holy duty of supporting the Church with gifts of your time, talent, and treasure.

News & Events
A PRAYER FOR PEACE IN ISRAEL AND PALESTINE
God of Comfort,
send your Spirit to encompass all those whose lives
are torn apart by violence and death in Israel and Palestine.
You are the Advocate of the oppressed
and the One whose eye is on the sparrow.
Let arms reach out in healing, rather than aggression.
Let hearts mourn rather than militarize.
God of Justice,
give strength to those whose long work for a just peace
might seem fruitless now. Strengthen their resolve.
Do not let them feel alone. Show us how to support their work
and bolster their courage. Guide religious leaders to model
unity and reconciliation across lines of division.
Guide political leaders to listen with their hearts as they seek peace and pursue it.
Help all people choose the rigorous path of just peace and disavow violence.
God of Love,
we lift up Palestine and Israel — its people, its land, its creatures.
War is a monster that consumes everything in its path.
Peace is a gift shared at meals of memory with Christians, Muslims, and Jews.
Let us burn incense, not children. Let us break bread, not bodies.
Let us plant olive groves, not cemeteries.
We beg for love and compassion to prevail
on all your holy mountains.
God of Hope,
we lift up the cities of the region: Gaza City and Tel Aviv,
Ramallah and Ashkelon, Deir El Balah and Sderot,
so long divided, yet so filled with life and creativity.
Come again to breathe peace on your peoples
that all may recognize you.
God of Mercy,
even now work on the hearts of combatants
to choose life over death, reconciliation over retaliation,
restoration over destruction. Help us resist antisemitism in all its forms,
especially in our own churches. All people, Israelis and Palestinians,
deserve to live in peace and unafraid, with a right to determine
their future together.
God of the Nations,
let not one more child or elder be sacrificed on altars of political expediency.
Keep safe all people from unjust leaders who would exploit
vulnerability for their own distorted ends.
Give wise discernment to those making decisions to pursue peace.
Provide them insight into fostering well-being, freedom, and thriving for all.
Teach all of us to resolve injustices with righteousness, not rockets.
Guard our hearts against retaliation, and give us hearts for love alone.
Strengthen our faith in you, O God of All Flesh,
even when we don’t have clear answers,
so that we may still offer ourselves nonviolently
for the cause of peace.
Amen.

Sunday's readings provide examples of people who trusted in the Lord. It is a reminder for us to live our day-to-day lives in total surrender to His care.
When we live our lives doing the will of God, there will be days that are hard. Just because we are doing what the Lord is asking of us, doesn’t mean every day will be perfect. As a matter of fact, we might be led to rejection or suffering because of what we believe. The moment we are faced with that conflict, we are called to respond as Amos did—not by turning our back on God but rather by remaining faithful to Him. God has a plan, even in the darkest moments. We are called to trust in his ways.

God, our Father, we come to you because the people of this nation and everything in it belong to you. We are not here by accident. You are the one who set us in this nation at this particular time for the glory of your name. But, Father, people in this country are turning against each other. We no longer live like brothers and sisters. Brother has turned against brother and child against parent. But your word says that if we humble ourselves and turn from our wicked ways, you will heal our land. Lord, heal our hearts and our land. Remove bitterness and resentment from our hearts and help us to live as brothers and sisters. In Jesus’ name, we pray, Amen.
Pray the Liturgy of the Hours
Lectio divina is a form of meditation rooted in liturgical celebration that dates back to early monastic communities. It was a method practiced by monks in their daily encounter with Scripture, both as they prepared for the Eucharist and as they prayed the Liturgy of the Hours.
The Latin phrase “lectio divina” may be translated as “divine reading.” As one reads and invites the Word to become a transforming lens that brings the events of daily living into focus, one can come to live more deeply and find the presence of God more readily in the events of each day. The method of lectio divina follows four steps:
Use these Lectio Divina guides to meditate, contemplate, and pray. The Chaplet of Divine Mercy is a prayer that was revealed by Jesus to St. Faustina Kowalska. It is recited using ordinary Rosary beads of five decades and is preceded by two opening prayers from the Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska and followed by a closing prayer. The Chaplet of Divine Mercy is prayed on ordinary Rosary beads. See the link below for specific instructions for praying chaplet or the novena.

Artifacts from Immaculate Conception Church
with comments from Joseph Rulli
Two significant artifacts of Johnstown history are now permanently installed in St. Bernard’s Catholic Church in Watertown, Wisconsin. This is the altar and pulpit from the former Immaculate Conception church, now the Grand Halle. The colors were changed to white and gold leaf to match the total scheme of the church decor.
Bishop Morlino of the Madison diocese was originally from somewhere in Pennsylvania. Several years ago, the Catholic Cathedral in Madison was destroyed by fire. Bishop Morlino most likely purchased the altar and pulpit for when they would build a new cathedral. Bishop Molino died suddenly, and somehow Saint Bernard Church in Watertown discovered the altar stored in a trailer. It was in very bad shape. The church in Watertown had the vision to see it restored for their beautiful church, which is very similar in design to the Immaculate Conception church in Johnstown. The pieces were a perfect fit. The parish there loves them!

All students are welcome, regardless of their parish or religious affiliation. Each day, the students will learn lessons about faith, ethnic traditions, and religious art. This year the theme will be “Pilgrimage,” and will focus on the rich tradition of religious pilgrimages and sacred places. There is no cost to attend; however, since the parish makes provisions for all the students who are registered, it is asked that students who sign up for the camp attend the camp. Each day begins with the celebration of the Holy Mass. Following Mass, the students will participate in games, songs, religious lessons taught by the Sacred Heart Sisters, and lessons about everything ranging from cooking, to architecture, to art projects such as mosaics, painting, stained glass, and building a pipe organ kit. Throughout the day, there will be games and activities. In addition to the regular lessons and activities, the students will attend a field trip to visit three historic churches in Pittsburgh, as well as make stops at the Heinz History Center and St. Vincent College.
