The staff is happy to announce that we plan to reopen the newly renovated Adult Education Center after Labor Day, September 6th.

The Adult Education Center hosts Adult Education courses, Children’s catechesis for our Korean Community, ministry meetings and self help groups.  For those not familiar with the center, it is the old school building directly to the left of the church on 31st street.

The center has had a major and much needed renovation.  All rooms have new ceilings, new floors, updated bathrooms, fresh paint and other repairs.  This renovation was paid for using the Renew and Rebuild funds which continue to be raised as parishioners and donors who committed continue to contribute their 5 year pledge.  If you would like to make a contribution to this renovation you can do so using our online giving tool by clicking HERE.

If your self help group meet in the center prior to the shut down please email Joseph Nuzzi to inform him that your group plans to return.

The Station of the Cross in Atonement of Abuse and for the Healing of All.

When one member of the Body of Christ suffers, we all suffer. The Stations of the Cross in Atonement for Abuse and for the Healing of All invites a wounded church to contemplate the passion and death of Jesus through the experience of clerical abuse survivors. While this is certainly not an easy topic, it is one we must continue to bring to our communal prayer. A combination of word, silence, and song, each of the fourteen Scripture-based stations are paired with the voices of survivors of clerical sexual abuse, original confessional prayers, and profound communal responses.

Thursday, August 12
