Become a member of St. Mary's Keynote Society and help defray the cost of the new church organ.  For a gift of $100, you will receive a certificate stating that you "own" an organ key.  The instrument is a 50-stop three manual Allen Quantum organ, being built by Allen Organ company in Macungie, PA. 

You may have the certificate in your own name or honor or memorialize a loved one.  The certificate could make a beautiful Christmas gift!

To launch the Keynote Music Society, a Sacred Music Concert will be held on Friday, January 15 from 7 - 8 p.m. in church followed by a wine and cheese reception in the parish center.

Now that the exterior work is complete, work moves inside the church for the winter months.  The ductwork and dry walling will be completed in the coming weeks.

Campaign Prayer

God of all time we thank You for the gift of Your Spirit in our day. By the power of Your Spirit our parish community has been fashioned under the patronage of Mary, our model of faith. For generations our members have spoken Your Word, extended Your Hands, and offered the bounty of Your Love to others. Now we stand at a crossroad in our community's history. Help us discern Your will as we seek to build a new place of worship. Help us heed the call to celebrate and nourish our faith as a community. Help us respect the rich traditions of our parish family. Help us plan wisely to continue the legacy of ministry and service to others. Help us decide how we can best use our personal resources to support this endeavor for the common good. We ask this, so that as today's St. Mary's Parish, we may continue to be responsive to Your daily call to stand side by side as an effective, visible sign of Your presence in our world. We ask this in the name of Jesus, our risen Lord. Amen. St. John Neumann, pray for us.

New CD Available To Benefit St. Mary's Building Fund:
Many of the parishioners who attend either the 4PM Mass on Saturday or 6:30pm on Sunday have heard the beautiful voice of Angela Auten. She just produced her first CD “From Me to You” as a gift to the parish and to the capital campaign for the building of the new church. These CDs are $10 each with all of the proceeds given to St. Mary’s Building Fund. A special thanks to Angela and to Ed Saccoccia, our keyboardist, for his assistance with this project.
