Safe Environments: As a Roman Catholic Community we want to have environments where everyone is safe

from abuse. Priests, staff & volunteers (who have regular contact with even 1 minor child) are required to have

Clearances and Virtus Training. We are also required to report any suspicious or inappropriate behavior. If

you have any suspicion about the sexual abuse (or any other type of abuse) of a minor child by anyone, please

contact PA Childline immediately at 1-800-932-0313. If the alleged abuser is functioning in a parish, school or

diocesan position as clergy, religious, paid staff or volunteer you are also requested to contact the Bishop’s

Delegate for Matters of Sexual Misconduct after you have called the Childline number and made the

report. The Bishop’s Delegate may be reached at 724-837-0901, Ext. 1221. Your actions help keep our envi-

ronments safe.

REFLECTION: HAPPY EASTER!

Happy Easter! Or as most other languages prefer: Blessed Pasch--Passover! Pasqua, Pascua, Páscoa, Pâques! Israel’s Passover through the Red Sea to the Promised Land! Jesus’ Passover through the Cross to resurrection! Our catechumens’ Passover last night, and ours once upon a time, through Baptism’s waters to our family’s Eucharist! Welcome, everybody! As someone once said of the Catholic Church, “Here comes every-body!” So in this Jubilee of Mercy, we make our own Saint John Chrysostom’s Easter welcome from fourteen hundred years ago: “Let everyone enjoy this radiant feast! You who fasted from Lent’s beginning, and you who didn’t fast at all, rejoice! The table’s richly set! Come, take from it, everybody, no worries, no embarrassment! All of you, taste the banquet of faith! Enjoy the feast of forgiveness! Let no one grieve for having sinned again and again: pardon has risen from the tomb!” Happy Easter! Blessed Pasch! Welcome, everybody! Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.
