Welcome
Update: September 20, 2020
The Blessed Mother statue and area in the Gathering Space at St. Timothy Church will become the Our Lady of Lourdes Shrine sometime this Fall. The statue will be raised up and secured to the height of the wainscoting. A three-tier fountain will be inserted in large, painted rocks which will serve as the landscaping view. The present wooden cross will be removed from the area and stored safely.
The Sacrament of Confirmation will be conferred on six of our Faith Formation students on Monday, September 21, 2020, at St. Timothy Church. Please pray for these young people, that they will be open to the Holy Spirit Who will come upon them in His fullness: Ava Brown, Matt Brown, Nathan Hryn, Nick McKeown and Jacob Skebo and Caelyn Zattoni. Also, lift up in prayer Erica Linsenbigler and Cameron Weber who will be confirmed in the Spring of 2021 by the Bishop.
St. Timothy Social Hall will be used for several Faith Formation classes beginning Sunday, September 20, 2020, at 9:30 am because of the Covid-19 protocols. The hall will be set up to accommodate these classes.
Bishop Persico has continued to dispense Roman Catholics in the Diocese of Erie from the obligation to attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation during the COVID-19 crisis. YOU MAY DECIDE TO PARTICIPATE IN A DAILY MASS INSTEAD OF A SUNDAY MASS. IF ILL OR FINDING IT VERY HARD TO MANEUVER BECAUSE OF AGE OR ILLNESS, PLEASE WORSHIP FROM HOME AT THIS TIME. IT IS AS IMPORTANT THAT WE CONTINUE TO KEEP OUR YOUNGEST PARISHIONERS SAFE AS WELL.
The process for receiving offertory envelopes is reverting back to the procedure we had when we had public Masses. However, since we are not permitted to have an offertory collection/ procession at Mass, please drop your envelopes in the offertory boxes at the entrances of your church if you are attending Mass. If not attending Mass, you may continue bringing or mailing your offertory envelopes to the parishes' office.
Sanitizing Stations in our churches are part of the norm now. Please avail yourselves of this safety measure when you enter and exit church. The ushers will make sure this is done. Masks will have to be worn in church as well. If you are not willing to wear a mask, then please remain home and watch Mass on television or Facebook streaming.
The Sacrament of Penance is offered 4 days a week, Monday through Thursday and Saturday mornings at St. Timothy Church for the present time by appointment only. Parishioners from St. Bonaventure Church and St. Timothy Church may call the office and set up a time with Father Steve Collins for confession. Masks must be worn and there will be distancing between the priest and the penitent at the selected site in the Church. The Office phone number is 814-236-1845. Thank you! Confessions will continue to be by appointment for a while after we return to public Masses.
