UPDATES

Our lives sometimes go through seasons of change; of closeness to God and distance from him. Yet God's love is steadfast and ever-present to those who seek Him with a sincere heart, no matter what sins or situations have caused a separation.  The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) instructs those interested in becoming “citizens of the Kingdom” through Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist. Check out RCIA! You can just show up—no RSVP is needed. There will be no pressure to join the Church. Just come as you are! Inquiry Sessions  are Thursdays at 7:00 pm St. Mary Church, Marian Room (lower level) 124 N. Beaver St., New Castle, 16101.  Those Interested should contact Cathy Frank at [email protected]  for more information or go to
