Want to build your youth group?  We need to start much younger! As we embark on an effort to bring youth and families to our parishes, we are called to create spaces for our parents of young children to interact with one another and their child. This opportunity is a chance to discover simple techniques to make your parish more toddler friendly and to help families continue their journey of faith before other activities become an obstacle. The Diocese of Greensburg’s Summer School of Theology 2025 is a course that is greater than bringing CGS to your parish, rather it is about reaching our youth and families earlier, helping our parents have conversations of faith with their children early to make it a habit in family life. This is a general training that applies to all parishes! If parents can be encouraged to talk with their toddlers about faith, that discussion will continue as the children grow older. According to several studies, if we wait to help families discuss matters of faith until pre-school, kindergarten, (or even first communion age or later), we may have already lost them. We invite you to be part of the change as we build a Marriage Catechumenate and culture of family formation in our Diocese. To learn more about this year’s Summer School of Theology entitled “How to Form and Coach PARENTS of TODDLERS in Faith,” visit https://www.dioceseofgreensburg.org/summer-school-of-theologytoddler-montesori-atrium-training/ or call the Parish Office for more details. 724-479-9542, Ext. 15
 

We are pleased to announce the development of a Special Needs Faith Formation and Sacramental Preparation program at Our Lady of the Assumption Parish for children and adolescents with developmental and/or cognitive challenges.  For us to adequately prepare to meet the needs of our parish community, we need to hear from you!  If you, or someone you know would like to learn more about this very special program, you may either: contact our Parish Office at (724-479-9542, Ext. 15); email [email protected]; or complete one of the postcards located at the exits of both churches, and place it in the collection baskets.

Father Joseph Pham, OFM Cap. Pastoral Supply

Lord Jesus, You are the living bread who satisfies the hunger of the human heart. In the Eucharist, the bread and wine become Your Body and Blood, the gift of Yourself to the Church. Deepen our faith in Your Eucharistic presence and strengthen us as members of the Church, the Body of Christ. As we encounter and revere Your Eucharistic presence, open us to the needs of our brothers and sisters here and everywhere throughout the world. Help us to reveal Your love, Your promise, Your presence to them by our lives and in all we say and do. Amen.
