Estate Planning on March 7th at 6:30 p.m.

"The 'One Thing' is Three" Study -  Explore and deepen your faith with the Wisdom & Works of Mercy Group Study.  By reading "The 'One Thing' is Three" and "You Did it to Me" (both by Fr. Gaitley), we will bring the profound truths of the Catholic faith from head to heart to life, in a way that makes deep theology easy to understand and even easier to live. Contact Irene, evangelization@stfrancisxaviermckean.org or 814-476-7657 x7 for more information.

"Forgiven" -- Join us on Feb. 28th, March 14th, 21st, and 28th,  to watch and discuss this wonderful series on the The Transforming Power of Confession.  We'll explore the grace and healing offered in Confession and see how this sacrament of mercy reveals the depth and bounty of God's love. By looking at God's revelation of his mercy in Scripture and making a step-by-step examination of the Order itself, Forgiven communicates God's invitation to each one of us to come experience his indescribable love in the Sacrament of Reconciliation.  There are minor updates to the Sacrament, that we will discuss during Session 3.
