This year, on Thursday, August 6th, the Feast of the Transfiguration, the Diocese of Harrisburg will celebrate the fortieth anniversary of its grassroots pilgrimage to the National Shrine Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes in Emmitsburg, Maryland. It is a Marian day of prayer for world peace through the conversion of hearts. 

Confessors will be available in the morning from 9:30 a.m. through 11:00 a.m. The Most Reverend Timothy C. Senior will celebrate the pilgrimage Mass at 1:00 p.m. in Saint Mary’s Chapel  at the Shrine. Everyone is invited. 

Please bring your own lunch. Carpooling is recommended. The Legion of Mary Harrisburg Comitium will host a pilgrimage bus departing at 8:15 a.m. from Saint Catherine Labouré Parish, Harrisburg, and picking up  additional pilgrims at 8:45 a.m. from Good Shepherd Parish, Camp Hill. Reserve your seat today by sending an e-mail to Amy at amf194@gmail.com or by calling or texting Rita at (717) 884-6836.

I’d like to thank Fr. Kuchinski and all the parishioners of St. Mary’s for everyone’s continued generous support of Holy Trinity Catholic School, especially from May’s Race for Education (Father was fast and had a great cheering section!). We are grateful for all the St. Mary’s parishioners who pray for and support our school, especially those volunteering on our School Board. Speaking personally on behalf of my family, I am grateful to have a parish like St. Mary’s to call home. Here are three strengths we see in Holy Trinity for our own children, three of whom are HTCS students:

1. Faith-centered environment: Our children pray, put Catholic values into practice, and learn about the Catholic faith every day.

2. Academics: Our school offers individualized attention in the classroom due to small class sizes. We use STAR standardized tests to track academic progress and strengthen our instruction, and our teachers pursue professional development opportunities in the summer and throughout the school year to continue improving as educators.

3. Multicultural learners: Our children share a classroom with students who reside all over York County, including legacy students whose parents and/or grandparents attended St. Patrick’s School or St. Mary’s School and families with children and/or parents from countries around the world, such as the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Haiti, Nicaragua, Colombia, El Salvador, Belize, Cameroon, and the D.R.

Congo.

 Our PreK is currently only accepting students on a wait list.

The Thrift Shop is in great need of volunteers to price and steam items.
