A prayer for Pope Leo XIV
O God, shepherd and ruler of all the faithful,
look favorably on your servant Pope Leo XIV
whom you have set at the head of your Church
as her shepherd; grant, we pray, that by word
and example he may be of service
to those over whom he presides so that,
together with the flock entrusted to his care,
he may come to everlasting life.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ,
your Son, who lives and reigns
with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Memorial Day
Monday, May 26


Remember, Lord, the fallen who died in fields of war, in flaming clouds, in screaming crowds, on streets that are no more, that we today might waken and greet this day in peace with grateful prayer for those who bear the storms that never cease. Remember friends and strangers, and those forgotten now, whose names are known to you alone, before whose love we bow. And ask that you surround them with mercy’s endless light that they may live and we forgive the foe they went to fight. Remember, Lord, the living, who bear the pain of loss, a death she died who stood beside her Son upon the cross. Remember all your children the dead and those who weep, and make us one beneath the sun where love will never sleep.

Mass will be celebrated at 9:00 AM at St. Clare of Assisi Church. The Parish Offices will be closed. There will be no rosary at the Oratory.



The Ascension of the Lord
Thursday, May 29
A Holy Day of Obligation


Forty Days after Jesus’ Glorious Resurrection, our Lord Ascended into heaven. Oh Lord, we commemorate the day of Your ascension – along with the many things You did here on earth. Your scripture declares that whoever believes in the works that You did on earth, will do even greater things, because Your Son returned to You in heaven. I thank You for giving us divine authority to be more like Jesus, I walk in Your power, in Jesus’ Name, Amen - John 14:12

Mass will be celebrated at 6:30 PM on Wednesday, May 28th at St. Clare of Assisi Church and at 6:30 PM on Thursday, May 29th at Resurrection Church. (Please note the change in Mass schedule.) The Parish Offices will be closed on this day.





THE 2025 CATHOLIC MINISTRIES DRIVE
Your sacrificial gifts of prayer and treasure will make an immediate impact on ministries that focus on evangelization, serving those in need and formation of our priests and deacons. During Lent, and throughout the year, we are challenged to renew our spiritual devotions and duties - and one of those holy duties is to support the Church. This year’s theme, “Follow Me” (Mt 16:24), invites us into a deeper relationship with Christ, as we share in His mission of love and service, proclaiming the Good News to all. There is no limit to what we can accomplish together in Christ. PLEASE MAIL YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS DIRECTLY TO THE DIOCESE OF ALTOONA/JOHNSTOWN or you may make an online gift at www.dioceseaj.org/giving. Our diocesan ministries need your support. All gifts received beyond the parish target amount will be used for your parish. The Target amounts for 2025 are: Resurrection Parish, $32,000.00 and St. Clare of Assisi Parish, $8,700.00.

Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil; may God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the divine power, thrust into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
