Our Mission Statement
The parish of The Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary (a.k.a. St. Mary’s) is staffed by the Missionaries of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary in the Diocese of Harrisburg. Our parish celebrates the good news of Jesus Christ in giving witness to His real presence in our lives and community. We strive to express our faith through prayer, in the Liturgy of the Holy Eucharist, forming and strengthening our faith by embracing and teaching the good news of the Gospel. Trusting in the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we comfort and give hope to the sick and the grieving and reach out to those in spiritual and material need. With compassion and love, we offer hospitality, warmly welcoming all people to share the joy and peace of Christ.

The one-hour visits answer the request Jesus made during his
agony in the Garden of Olives before his Crucifixion and Death on Good Friday when he asked,
“Could you not watch with me one hour?”
However, if you cannot commit to an hour, please stop in at some point at least for a few minutes
to bring your joys and sorrows to the One who loves you unconditionally!
