Jerry Schearer Good News

Weekly News & Bulletin

Edition for October 3, 2026

Sunday: 27th Sunday of Ordinary Time

TODAY IS BLESSING OF THE ANIMALS! 11 am in Centre Park

A Service of Service

Sunday, October 11

Jesus taught that greatness is found in serving others. On Sunday, October 11 we will be doing just that.

We will be stacking firewood, doing other yard work, and visiting and fellowshipping with Kent and MaryAnn. Everyone is welcome! Wear your work clothes (and gloves if you have them) if you want to work outside. Or bring your stories and spirit of sharing to have conversations with Kent and MaryAnn inside with some food and drinks.

Will meet at 12 pm and work for about two hours: 400 Westley Road, Mohnton, PA 19540

Please see Martin in church on October 4 or text (410-948-0721) him to let him know if you will be joining in our “Service of Service” and if you will meet us there or if you want to carpool from the church. Please let him know by Friday, October 9 if you will be assisting – and if you will meet the group at the house or carpool from the church.

Berks Coalition to End Homelessness

For the month of October, we will be collecting the following items:

Shampoo (small and large-size bottles)

Conditioner

Men and Women’s Deodorant

Items can be placed in the collection box in the vestibule

Prayer before service: 10 minutes (when candles are lit) before mass, we ask for silent reverence and prayer in the Chapel. And please set all phones to SILENT or OFF. Thank you.
