    • BE ALERT FOR EMAIL SCAMS!!

      There has been an influx in email scams being sent to our parishioners. 
      These scam emails have a sender mimicking Father Ken. The scam email that has been received by many does include 
      Father Ken's name and possibly even his new directory photo. 
      The email will mention that there is a "confidential matter to be discussed... would you kindly reply to this message"?

      PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO THESE EMAILS!!
      PLEASE DO NOT DO ANYTHING THAT YOU ARE ASKED TO DO!!
      These are NOT being sent by Father Ken or any other Staff Person!


      The Parish Staff are all aware of the situation and are doing everything possible to mitigate this. 
      If you have any questions or concerns on the matter, please contact our parish office at (717)-697-8716.
