The hanging sanctuary lamp found above the entrance of the Blessed Sacrament Chapel as well as the tabernacle lamp standing next to the chapel's altar, burn in testament of the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharistic. For those interested in having a candle placed for a special intention in either location, please contact the Pastoral Center Office at 724.775.3940 ext. 3 or download and complete a Chapel/Shrine Candle Request Form by clicking here. The requested donation per candle is $10 which helps defray costs and assists the parish.

Those wishing to have a candle placed in the Blessed Mother Shrine Candle Lamp in memory or honor of a loved one or for a special intention, please contact the Pastoral Center Office at 724.775.3940 ext. 3 or download and complete a Chapel/Shrine Candle Request Form by clicking here. To defray costs and assist the parish in its mission, the requested donation per candle is $10.00.

The large votives, found in the multi-candle stands located in various places throughout the church, are replenished daily. (Container candles are no longer stocked in the sacristy.) Wooden tapers for lighting these tall votive candles can be found at each stand. The requested donation per candle is $3.00 (to cover parish cost). Please place your candle offering in the secure box mounted near the stand.

For those interested in having an engraved brick placed in acknowledgement or remembrance of a loved one on the parish grounds, Memorial Brick Request Forms are available at all entrances of the church as well as via download by clicking here. The price per brick is $25.

For safety and insurance purposes, do not place votive candles of any kind on the Blessed Mother Shrine Altar or the Blessed Sacrament Altar. A faulty candle container may result in a fire, or at the very least, damage to surfaces and linens. Thank you for your consideration.

Please note that all information to be posted to the bulletin boards installed at the doors of the church must be submitted to the parish office. Postings that have not been placed through the parish office will be removed. In addition, nothing is to be adhesive taped to the walls of the church. Thank you for your cooperation.

When at church, don't forget to browse the pamphlet rack located in the main entrance/vestibule. It is hoped you will find helpful and engaging materials on it. Is there a subject on which you would like information or do you have something you would like to see added? If you do, please contact the Parish Pastoral Center (724.775.3940 ext. 3) to discuss the request. (Please note that all printed materials found in various places throughout the church must first be presented to the Pastoral Center Office. Any materials not cleared through the Pastoral Center Office will be removed.)
