Eucharistic Adoration & Veneration of the Relic of St. Peter Chanel, Martyr at St. Anthony's Chapel On Sunday, April 3 at 3:00 pm, we will begin to pray the Church's evening prayer before Christ in the Eucharist. The Blessed Sacrament will be exposed in the monstrance at the beginning of evening prayer and the service will conclude with Benediction, Christ imparting His blessing to us in His Eucharistic Presence. Following the service, the faithful who wish to do so will have the opportunity to venerate a relic of one of the saints. For April, it will be the relic of Saint Peter Chanel, Martyr, whose feast day is April 28th. For more information, please visit www.saintanthonyschapel.org St. Anthony Chapel & The Year of Mercy Saint Anthony Chapel is one of two places in the Diocese of Pittsburgh where one may gain the privilege of The Holy Year of Mercy Plenary Indulgence; the other is St. Paul Cathedral. A detailed pamphlet is available at the Chapel that outlines the conditions for gaining the Holy Year Indulgence.

From the desk of Fr. Jim Happy Easter to all of you! His Resurrection is our promise of our own. The staff, Fr. Garvey and I pray that the Joy, Hope and Peace of the Lord s Salvation abide with you and all those you love. I would like to announce the reestablishment of the Most Holy Name Parish Eucharistic Day. We will have it on Sunday April 17th. This is being done at the behest of the Worship and Pastoral Councils. More details will be forthcoming. There will be a similar Eucharistic Day for St. Aloysius in the Fall. May our Risen Lord fill you with his presence. Pax, Fr. Jim Orr Alleluia! Mass Requests for Concelebration Each weekday morning, two Priests offer Mass at St. Anthony s Chapel. One offers the scheduled intention, and one takes an intention from the extra Mass intention list. Once the concelebrated Mass is offered, the list is put into the bulletin on the first weekend of each month. Our Mass Intention list for concelebration is becoming depleted. Our prayers for the dead help our loved ones work through their experience of Purgatory. The Mass is the best prayer for this. Masses may also be offered for the living for special intentions or as a Spiritual Bouquet for their benefit as God sees best. To request a Mass, simply email mostholyname@hotmail.com or call Becky at 412-231-2994, ext. 0 with your intention and the month desired. The usual offering is $10.00 and checks made payable to Most Holy Name Parish.
