Disaster Relief Collection
September 20, 2020
Proceeds go to Catholic Charities and Catholic Relief Services

Checks must be made out to:
the Diocese of Wheeling Charleston with the Memo: Disaster Relief

Most Rev. Mark Brennan, Bishop of the Diocese of Wheeling Charleston, has approved a special collection to be held the weekend of September 20, 2020 in all parishes and missions throughout the diocese to support recovery efforts related to the recent natural disasters that have occurred across the country (US Gulf hurricanes and the western wildfires) as well as the devastating explosion that occurred in Beirut, Lebanon.

Proceeds from this collection will support the humanitarian and recovery efforts of Catholic Charities USA and Catholic Relief Services and
 will provide pastoral support and rebuilding assistance to impacted dioceses through the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.

Let us come together now to support our brothers and sisters in Christ who are suffering this horrible loss.

Please remember in prayer first responders and those who have lost their lives as a result of these disasters, as well as all those who are injured and lost their homes, cars, employment, access to food and water and to those who re-main without electricity or are stranded.
 

If you are unable to attend Sunday liturgy  in person,

please join us at
8:30 am

for our livestreamed Mass at
Facebook Live Mountaineer Catholic

The video of the Mass is available on Facebook at Mountaineer Catholic after the livestream has ended.


 

 Select meetings, gatherings, and parish events are being scheduled,
with health and safety COVID 19 guidelines being observed.

The parish office is open Mon-Fri from 9:00 am-12:00 pm and 1:00-3:00 pm

You may reach members of the parish staff by email 

May Jesus, the Divine Physician, send his healing grace upon the people he has redeemed. Let us hold one another close in prayer and Christian love.

 

Hello Families, 
This letter comes as a follow up to Fr. Brian's letter a couple of weeks ago. We need to get class lists in place to complete our Faith Formation Program plan for our quickly upcoming year. We are committed to bring formation to our Pre-K through 8, First Reconciliation/First Holy Communion and Confirmation programs in a safe and meaningful way.  Many thanks to all who have responded to date, however we believe many more are out there.  If your family or anyone you know have yet to respond for any of the above programs, please send the participants name, grade level and parent email contact to John Lojewski at  dre@mountaineercatholic.com ASAP.  
We look forward to ministering to your families in the upcoming year and ask for your prayers as we venture into new ways to share God's word and the teachings of our one, holy, catholic and apostolic church.
In and for Christ,
John Lojewski II DRE
