Transfiguration of Our Lord PNCC

God of all life, we rejoice with you in this day of death’s defeat. To the bewildered eyes of your disciples, Christ’s death looked like tragic loss, but you turned it into a great gain. Give us the faith you gave them to believe that, through the creative power of your love, even the greatest tragedy can be transformed and become life-giving. May our faith strengthen throughout the fifty days of this Easter season as we pray to embrace your gift of new and everlasting life. Amen!

One of the most meaningful traditions that has evolved in Wallington is the annual Memorial Day Parade. This celebration allows us to honor those who have served this country through the armed forces. It is a symbol of patriotism and an appreciation of history. This year’s Memorial Day Pared is scheduled for Monday, May 30, 2011. As in past Fr. Gregory has been invited to participate in the program.

Bishop Anthony Mikovsky and the clergy of the Central Diocese, at their meeting on October 23, 2010, decided to once again organize an Acolyte Retreat for the Central Diocese of the PNCC. The summer 2011 retreat will be held from Tuesday, June 28 (noon), through Friday July 1 (noon) at the Bishop Hodur Retreat and Recreation Center, Spojnia Farm, Waymart, PA.

Participants will have a great opportunity to pray together in order to know better our Lord Jesus Christ and to spend a wonderful time with “old” and “new” friends. The deadline for registration is June 19, 2011. Cost of retreat: $65. Registration Forms and Information Sheet are at the parish office.
