We invite parishioners of all ages and levels of musical experience to join our regular and seasonal choirs. All voice parts are welcome. We have a particular need for sopranos and tenors. The choir sings at 11 AM Sunday Masses (September through June), and special liturgies including Christmas, Holy Wekk and Easter. Rehearsals are on Wednesday at 7:30 PM and on Sundays at 10:10 AM. To learn more about our choir, please contact our music director, Daesik Cha at dcha@olossharon.org .

On August 19, instead of preaching on the daily readings at Mass, Fr. Daly read excerpts of Cardinal Sean’s statement regarding the most recent exposure of clergy abuse through the PA Grand Jury report released on Tuesday, August 14 and spoke about it in the context of OLOS.  Following the Mass, parishioners gathered to share in fruitful discussion about the statement, the trifecta of abuse current scandals in the church (McCarrick, St. John’s Seminary, PA Grand Jury Report) and the appropriate response of the laity.  Click here for notes from the homily and the conversation.

THE PIETA

You may have noticed that we have begun to refurbish the Pieta in front of the Church. As you know, I spend a significant amount of time in front of the Church. Since I came here more than a year and a half ago, the condition of the Pieta has been an annoyance if not an outright embarrassment. After all, it is the iconic presentation of our parish name: “Our Lady of Sorrows.”
 
It was originally dedicated in 1948 in memory of Sergeant Warren Hickey, the son of Mr. and Mrs. James Hickey. Sgt. Hickey was killed in World War II. In recent months, a couple who are parishioners came forward and offered to contribute substantially what we need to        completely renovate the statue and base. We consulted with two bidders for the work and both recommended that we not move the statue, even now that space on the side of the Church has been freed up by removal of the tree.
 
Our plan is to include a plaque recognizing the Hickeys and our donor couple. It’s possible that some small additional costs will accrue as the project goes forward. If anyone wishes to contribute, we will gladly accept but can’t promise to include more names on the plaque.
 
Completion of the project will be somewhat dependent on weather.     ~Fr. Frank
