The Choir Loft at Holy Ghost Church is for Choir members only. Thank you for your continued cooperation with this.

​On February 24, 2022, the world witnessed the horrific and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine by Russia. 

Please pray for our Ukrainian brothers and sisters and remember kindly our priests and religious who have family in the Ukraine. To donate directly to the needs of the Ukranian people, visit the website of St. Vladimir's Ukranian Catholic church at  https://stvladimirscranton.org.


Also pray for peace in the Middle East and for the victims of war and crimes against humanity there.
​Please pray for our country, that the divisions that are dividing us may be healed so that we can once again work together.

Eastern Catholic Formation/ECF:  Religious Education Classes

Registration for the 2024-2025 school year is now closed! Registration will open in August with classes resuming in September. Please take this obligation seriously and put your child's religious education BEFORE all other activities.  ECF not only teaches our children how to become closer to God through prayer, service, and knowledge, but it also teaches them what it is to be an Eastern Rite Catholic, and the beautiful traditions of the Byzantine Catholic Church. We welcome the opportunity to teach your child about his or her faith, and the ways of our beautiful Rite.  Please know that we plan to hold in-person ECF classes in the fall. Please contact our DRE, Joyce Covaleski or our Pastor, Fr. Tim Kennedy, with any questions at [email protected].
