The Blessed Sacrament will be exposed at 1pm. The Chaplet of Divine Mercy will be prayed at 2:50pm. (materials will be provided). The afternoon concludes with the Celebration of Mass at 3pm, the hour of mercy, celebrated by Fr. Nick Smith, our Pastor Emeritus. Confessions will not be offered. Please note that if you
went to confession during Lent, within 20 days prior to Divine Mercy Sunday or within 20 days following Mercy Sunday, you are covered under the conditions for a plenary indulgence.

As we celebrate the birth of our Church on Pentecost, the Steubenville East youth will be hosting a coffee an' and more between the two masses at the church to help raise funds for their youth conference. The event will be held outside the church (weather permitting) or in Helen Bouchard Hall (lower church).

Have your children drifted away from their Catholic faith? We need to understand the real reasons why our young people drift away and we need a game plan to bring them home. If you find yourself in this situation (and many of us do!) join us on on the second floor in Fr.Greenan Center.

On that night we will hear from a person who had drifted away but returned to her Catholic roots. We will discuss and share strategies on how to have
a fruitful conversation with our children.

The evening will be based on Brandon Vogt’s book, Return - How to Draw Your Child Back to the Church. Copies of the book will be available for purchase. Advanced registration is not required.

Car wash in the St. Francis of Assisi parking lot. Free will donations are accepted. All proceeds will benefit the youth of our parish going to the
2022 Steubenville Retreat! What a wonderful way to help support our parish youth!

Mark your calendar for VBS 2022! Children in grades K-4 are welcome to join this fun faith filled event. Teens (and adults too), we invite you to help share your faith with our young members of our parish family by helping with music, skits, crafts, games, and snacks.
