Special Announcement to ALL Parishes Within the Franklin Deanery The obligation to attend the Sunday Mass for the Weekend of February 6-7, 2010 has been lifted. On Saturday morning, February 6th, Fr. Chester Snyder, Administrator for the Diocese of Harrisburg, notified Fr. Jim O'Brien, Dean of Franklin Deanery, that permission has been granted to dispense the faithful from the Sunday obligation due to the local snow emergency. Therefore, under the advisement of the civil authorities to remain off the roads and the difficult task of snow removal from the property, this weekend's Religious Education Classes and the Confirmation cross making have been canceled. The First Communion Parent Meeting scheduled for Sunday February 7th has been postponed. A new date will be communicated this week.
Mass will still be celebrated at the regular times for brave souls who are able to walk, but PLEASE do not put yourself or your family in danger trying to travel the roads to attend Mass – the obligation has been lifted by our Diocesan Administrator.
