Also of note is the fact that today, the Solemnity of Christ the King, marks the official inauguration of the new parish of St. Joseph Marello in Pittston, which has been formed from the previous parishes of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel and St. Rocco, both of which have been staffed by the Oblates of St. Joseph since 1929. The new parish is also staffed by the Oblates of St. Joseph, and both churches will continue in operation, for the time being, at least.
It is noteworthy, of course, that this was the date chosen for the establishment of the new parish. It was chosen because of its proximity to the tenth anniversary of the date of canonization of St. Joseph Marello, November 25. As we mark that momentous anniversary, and as we prepare to begin a new liturgical year, let us all pray for the success of this new endeavor, that we may be better able to serve the interests of Jesus in the new arrangement! Let us pray especially for the Oblate fathers who staff the new parish, Fr. Joseph Sibilano and Fr. Jackson Pinheiro.
St. Joseph Marello, pray for us!
