Holy Week

In this holy season of Lent, we strive to follow Christ our Lord more intensely, with prayer, fasting and almsgiving.  In solidarity with the faithful throughout the world, Good Friday is a day of fast and abstinence.   For a full explanation of these traditional Lenten obligations, check out this article from the Allentown Diocese, which may be found HERE.

The Disciple Maker Index Survey — open until April 2!

In conjunction with the Diocese of Allentown and the Catholic Leadership Institute, all parishes of the diocese are participating in the Disciple Maker Index Survey.

The deadline for the survey has been extended until Tuesday, April 2.   The survey will ask you to reflect on your own spiritual growth and enable you to provide feedback on our parish’s efforts to help you. All responses will be confidential. The parish will only receive information about the community as whole.

Please help us by completing a 10-15 minute survey.

To complete the survey online, go HERE!

To access and print a paper survey, click HERE.

A limited number of paper copies are available on the table in the gathering area of the church, or may be obtained by contacting the parish office at 610-683-7443 or secretary@stmaryskutztown.com.

We are seeking the highest response rate possible. This information will be invaluable to Fr. John and our various ministries as we plan for the future and strive to be true disciples of Jesus Christ. We will receive the results this spring/summer at which time we will share what we have learned with the entire parish.

Thank you for helping with this important project!
