This year, the Diocese of Erie's Faith Formation Office of Marriage and Family Life will once again host the annual Milestone Anniversary Celebrations for couples celebrating 25, 40, 50, 60 or more years of marriage in two locations: Sunday, August 4 at St. George Church, Erie, and Sunday, August 18 at Beloved Disciple Church, Grove City. Both will be held at 2 pm on their respective dates. Please note that the August 18th celebration was previously advertised at an alternate location, but due to unforeseen circumstances and thanks to the hospitality of the Beloved Disciple Parish community, it will be hosted in Grove City.
Couples and/or parish staff may complete a registration form online here or by calling their parish office or contacting the Marriage and Family Life Office at 814-824-1210. Registrations are being accepted until July 21 for Erie and until August 4 for Grove City.
Monthly Socials: We have been so excited about how well attended our monthly socials have been! However, with everyone's crazy summer schedules, we have decided to not have a social during the months of June and July. Socials will be back in August !!! We hope you all have an amazing summer and look forward to gathering again in August. Helpers are needed if interested!

THANK YOU!! We would like to say a big “Thank You!”, to all those who contributed their time, talent, and treasure to make our Vacation Bible School this year a great success! We had a wonderful week at SCUBA, diving into friendship with God by engaging Bible stories that came to life, reading the Gospel of John, participating in science that showed the wonders of God’s creation and learning about the Saints, not to mention lots of playing outside and fun snacks. We are so grateful to the many people that volunteered their time, especially those who assisted in creating and decorating such an amazing environment that made everyone feel they were diving into the deep. Our week of SCUBA would not have been possible without the adult and youth leaders who led the children through each day, by encouraging them, playing, and praying with them. We also wish to express our gratitude to all those in the parish who donated items we needed and to those made monetary donations. It was great week of blessings through our growing in friendship with God and with each other.
Learning the Catholic Faith and Tradition: We will explore and discuss various topics of Catholicism during the "Adult Catechism" sessions scheduled below. We will meet Sunday mornings in the Parish Library at 9:30am and conclude no later than 10:45. Please join us for one or all sessions as we continue to learn about our Catholic Faith. The dates are: July 28, and August 11. Feel free to contact Deacon Owen with questions or for more information.
