Our Faith…Our Diocese

In the August 18^th edition of Our Faith…Our Diocese: 

As they prepared to celebrate the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, members of Prince of Peace Parish in Old Forge recently held an outdoor rosary procession.

On Sunday, July 19^th, former parishioners and members of the Knights of Columbus gathered at Saint Hedwig’s Cemetery in Larksville to dedicate and bless a statue of the Blessed Mother, which was rescued from the fire that destroyed the former Saint Hedwig’s Church.

On Sunday, August 2^nd, members of Our Lady of Peace Parish in Hazleton gathered for the closing Mass of Our Lady of Grace Church.

Over the weekend of July 31^st – August 2^nd, hundreds of Catholics from across the East Coast gathered at the University of Scranton for the 44th annual Catholic Charismatic Renewal Conference.

And as the summer season comes to an end, several parishes across the Diocese of Scranton are still celebrating their bazaars, festivals, and picnics. In our closing segment, we’d like to share with you highlights of three of those gatherings, including Christ the King’s Parish Picnic in Archbald, Communion of Saints Parish Summer Fest in Pittston and Saint John the Baptist’s Parish Bazaar in Larksville.
