During Lent, Catholics are called to prayer, to fasting, and to almsgiving, which means donating money or goods to the poor and performing other acts of charity. Operation Rice Bowl is an ideal way to help fulfill this calling.

A new documentary on the history of the Diocese of Allentown and its current shepherd, Bishop Alfred Schlert, has arrived just in time to help celebrate the Diocese’s 60th anniversary year.

Join us as we celebrate the Christmas Eve Vigil Mass from the Cathedral of Saint Catharine of Siena with Bishop Alfred Schlert!
