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.

Stations of the Cross

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

Feast of St. Blaise

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

Warming Tree

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.

Weather Alerts

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.

Bethany Food Drive

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.”


Prayer Requests

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.


Bethany’s Tree of Life – A memorial to your loved ones.

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.


Church Supplies
