Perry County Consortium 

ADULT FAITH FORMATION PROGRAM – Learn more about a few books of the Bible. This four-week program will be a Lenten program, but will also assist you in learning a bit more about the Bible. The dates/times are: March 1, 8, 15, 22 at 6:00 p.m. in the Lower Level of the PCC. These are all Mondays in Lent. If you want to know more about the Books of Psalms, Proverbs, and the Book of Revelation; this is for you. The part that will be presented on the Book of Revelation will unfold all the mystery of this apocalyptic book. There is no cost for the program, and we will adhere to distancing guidelines for the sessions. Please contact Deacon Ed Christ with any questions.

For the men of our parishes, the Catholic Men’s Conference on February 27th is a great way to get fired up for our Catholic faith. We need camaraderie to encourage each other to live virtuous lives with Christ for the glory of God. This year, we will be local at the upper level of the PCC, sharing in fellowship while tuning in to the encouraging streamed talks. There will be some time early in the morning for prayer with the Lord during Eucharistic Adoration from 7:00-8:00 a.m. at the PCC. In-person registration will be after 8:00 a.m. The speakers begin at 9:00 a.m., with some breaks in between. The event will conclude with Mass in the PCC around 12:00 p.m. To register, go to CatholicMensMinistry.com, or contact Fred Redfern at 740-982-9105.

The dispensation from the Sunday Mass obligation granted by Bishop Brennan, which was to last at least through Sunday, September 13, 2020, has been extended indefinitely. This is in keeping with the indefinite dispensation throughout the rest of the Ohio Catholic Conference. Those who are in the high risk categories are encouraged to remain home. Those who are not feeling well or who are exhibiting Coronavirus type symptoms are expected to remain home. It remains in effect to observe safe social distancing by marking off pews, to wear masks in church, and to make use of sanitization procedures.
