Prayer is not a matter of talking to God, but of listening to Him, or being with Him.
It is this simple understanding of prayer, that is if we want to pray and listen,
we must become quiet and be opened to the experience of stillness.

February Eucharistic Ministers / Ministers of the Word

Please notify Monsignor Gregg 24 hours in advance if you are unable to serve.

The Stations of the Cross will be held every Friday evening during the season of Lent at 7:00 PM.

In accordance with the feast of St. Blaise, we will celebrate the blessing of throats during the Wednesday evening Mass on February 1st.

Bethany will begin its tradition of using the “Warming Tree” to collect scarves, mittens, and hats for children who, due to personal circumstances, live in group children's homes. Please join us in our effort to provide warmth-giving clothing to children in need by decorating our “Warming Tree” with you gifts of Winter apparel. Thanks for your generosity last year, many children were blessed with your gifts of warmth.

In the event of inclement weather, please check cancellations on WWLP, Channel 22. This is the only station that will list Bethany closing due to foul weather.

We will continue collecting non-perishable food items for area food pantries. Please bring your donations of canned goods and dry goods to Saturday evening and Sunday morning Masses. “Hunger never takes a vacation.”

As a community, we support each other through prayer in communion with Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Please let us know of your prayer requests.

Have the name of a loved one who has gone home to our Lord added to Bethany’s “Tree of Life”, located in the Chapel of Mercy. For details, visit the “Tree of Life” or call us.

Bethany is always grateful to receive donations of supplies, such as coffee, hot chocolate, dish soap, cleaning supplies, paper towels, paper plates and cups, bathroom tissue, etc. Please place donations in the large basket at the chapel entrance. Thank you!
