Divine Grace Parish

Fr. Ryan Schmeltzer, OFM Cap, today celebrated his first Mass as a priest at Divine Grace Parish, where he grew up. After 11 years in formation, he said it's still sinking in that he is now Father Ryan. Because the Eucharist is so central to what priests do, he said his ordination Saturday and first Mass on Corpus Christi Sunday, are blessings that he'll keep going back to over and over during his priesthood. Fr. Ryan is the son of Phil and Maryann Schmeltzer. God bless you, Fr. Ryan!

The Ellwood City Arts, Crafts, Food & Entertainment Festival is coming up July 3–5, and our parish needs your help with our famous Pepperoni Puffs!

There are two different ways to volunteer:

Help stack pepperoni and cheese for 9,000 Pepperoni Puffs from June 15–17, 9:00 am to Noon, at Holy Redeemer Catholic Center.

Important: If you previously signed up for Pepperoni Puff prep, please sign up again. The old sign-ups were lost, so everyone needs to re-register for these prep shifts.
