Serra Club Bus Trip to Priesthood Ordination - Friday, June 6
St. Joseph Church prays for Rev. Mr. Tim Balliett and Rev. Mr. Johnathan Schmolt as they prepare for their ordination to the priesthood of Jesus Christ. To celebrate the occasion and to invite more young men to consider a priestly vocation, the Serra Club of Mercer County organizes a bus trip to Erie each year for the priesthood ordinations. This year, the bus trip includes a tour of St. Mark's Center in Erie, dinner at Golden Corral, and a tour of St. Peter's Cathedral prior to the Mass of Ordination. The Serra Club is happy to underwrite the cost of the trip for the young people of the area. For more information or to make reservations, please call the rectory.
