Child Protection and Creating Safe Environments Diocesan
Child Protection Policies: The Diocese of Erie, along with all dioceses of the United States,
has policies and procedures in place to address the national
problem of child abuse and to aid in creating safe environments.
The diocese is committed to on-going screening and training of
paid or volunteer persons who have regular contact with our
children and youth under the age of 18. It is also committed to the
yearly inservicing and training of our children, youth and parents
regarding touching-safety and safe environments. To see what the
Diocese of Erie is doing to help create safe environments,
check out http://www.eriercd.org/protectyouth.htm
The Saint George Parish Mission Statement We, the Catholic Christians of Saint George Parish, in
union with the Church throughout the world, commit
ourselves to the love of God and our neighbor. Our parish
exists to make Jesus, the Son of God, present in our lives
through the Sacraments, prayer and community. We
recommit ourselves each day to more deeply understand
and live our faith, support each other, and to be a beacon of
hope in our darkened world. We entrust ourselves, our
families, and our community to Jesus Christ who is the
same yesterday, today, and forever.
Ask yourself: are you perpetuating the
mission of Saint George Parish?

31 Club for Vocations Members of the 31 Club agree to attend mass on a particular day
of each month and offer this mass for those who are currently
ministering to us as priests, deacons, consecrated women and for
those men and women who are discerning such vocations. We
need new parishioners to join us in this important ministry. Call
Jim Toohey at (814) 864-2145 with your name(s) and the day of
the month you will attend mass. God will bless you. To ask God
to nurture and sustain those he has called to service say this
prayer:
O God, who wills not the death of a sinner, but rather
that he be converted and live, grant we beseech you, through the
intercession of the Blessed Mary, ever Virgin, Saint Joseph, her
spouse, Saint Junipero Serra , and all the saints, an increase of
laborers for your Church, fellow laborers with Christ to spend
and consume themselves for souls, through the same Jesus Christ,
Your Son, Who lives and reigns with you, In the Unity of the Holy
Spirit, God forever, and ever. Amen

A FAMILY PERSPECTIVE: FOR THANKSGIVING
Our actions as parents in feeding the hungry, welcoming
strangers or estranged relatives into our homes teach our children
moral lessons of life. We clothe our sick or imprisoned neighbors
by caring for them and visiting them.
The beatitudes are the perfect playbook for Jesus’ expectations of
families. Our routine actions make Christ present in all we do.
