Candlelight Meditation

Find peace in the middle of a hectic week.

Unwind while listening to a reflective meditation followed by snacks and fellowship! Usually held in Sacred Heart Chapel on Tuesday evening at 8:30 PM. Please contact Johann Barcinas for any questions or to be added to the email list. All are welcome!

Bible Study

We read Gospel and then the Gospel reads us!

This weekly gathering of students is an opportunity to reflect on and discuss how the upcoming Gospel reading for Mass on Sunday speaks to us in our everyday lives.  Participants learn how to approach Scripture with both head and heart and are challenged to “get out of the way” and let God’s Word speak to them.

Bible Study will resume beginning Spring Semester. Any questions, please contact Patty Pivirotto via email or at 570-941-5458.

Praise and Worship (PAW)

This is a student run group that gathers and enjoys Faith, Friendship, Song and Relaxation. Meetings are held on Thursday evening at 9 PM in the Montrone Multipurpose Room. Please contact Brooke Dodge or Maggie Fitzgerald for any questions or to be added to the email list. All are welcome!
