Diocesan youth make Triduum journey
Fifty-five junior and senior high youth and twelve adults gathered on the last weekend of April for Christophany in the Springtime, a three day retreat in celebration of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. Blue skies and the lush green landscape of Spruce Lake Retreat in Canadensis (Monroe County) was the backdrop for the Triduum journey. Together we mourned the death of Christ, contemplated life in his absence, and rejoiced in the hopeful Easter light of his resurrection.

The ECW event at Kirby House
"My goal has been to involve the whole diocese in a mission project that would reach a kind of completion and be celebrated each year at diocesan convention," said Marlene Hartshorne who has served as president of the diocesan Episcopal Church Women since 1997.
"In the ECW of our Diocese, we are seeing a vine bearing fruit, seeing what can happen when we are connected to Jesus Christ," said Bishop Paul during his sermon.
The ECW named Diana Marshall Outstanding Woman of the Diocese of Bethlehem.
Charles Cesaretti focused his presentations on "the most misunderstood woman of the Bible, Mary of Nazareth," detailing the similarities between Mary's Magnificat and Jesus' Beatitudes.

The DaVinci Opportunity
"Pointing out the endless 'errors' of the Code misses the point and misuses this godsend of publicity for the Church. The real question is: Why is the book, and presumably the movie, such a hit?" [Column by Bishop Paul Marshall]

Let's Get Healthy Together
"In the ten years I have been your bishop I have lost 63 pounds. Six pounds a year is nothing to brag about, as each of them came off the slow and hard way ... I have more work to do, a long way to go before taking modeling jobs for the AARP magazine. I am not skinny and still tremble at the sight of Ben and Jerry’s Cherry Garcia. I cannot change my biology or background, and as the movie says, 'If you can’t fix it, you gotta stand it.'" [Bishop Paul Marshall, Diocesan Life, June 2006]

Bishop's Day with Adults: Living an Everyday Faith
The Diocese of Bethlehem will sponsor a Bishop's Day with people from across our diocese at the Fatima Renewal Center in Dalton (near Scranton) on July 1. We will have the chance to participate in some presentations on several aspects of finding God in our daily lives: praying with music, the visual arts, and othe aids to deepening our relationship with God. There will be time for solitude and for fellowship, both spiritual nourishment and a bit of comfort food, quiet walks in the woods and bocce ball. It's a day of holy leisure for the whole diocese. Contact Barb Gessner, bgessner@verizon.net, 570-421-5925, at St. Stephen's, Wilkes-Barre, or Peter Pearson, pearson@nb.net, 412-848-2642, at St. Philip's, New Hope, for details.
