We see our community as
one moved by Faith, led by Hope and united in Charity, seeking, as a
caring family, to walk in the footsteps of Jesus Christ by reaching
out in welcome to all: the young, the old, the stranger, and the
neighbor. We commit ourselves to helping and healing, to feeding the
hungry, to visiting the sick, and to consoling the bereaved as Jesus
commanded in the gospels.

Bulletin
Announcement:
To facilitate the CORI
reform law signed by the Governor of the Commonwealth, the
Department of Criminal Information Services recently put a new CORI
access system in place. This new system called iCORI requires that
all individuals provided the last 6 digits of their Social Security
Number along with other information required on the CORI request
form. The form content is sent to the Archdiocese by the
Commonwealth for use in requesting CORI. The Archdiocese is
certified to access the background of all clergy, seminarians,
school personnel including educators, staff and volunteers,
designated parish volunteers, paid parish staff and Pastoral Center
staff. The Archdiocese is required to carry out the CORI process
within the confines of the regulations put forth by the CORI Unit.
We appreciate the
cooperation of all those required to complete the annual CORI and we
particularly thank you for keeping the pledge to protect those among
us who are most vulnerable.
