Briefly Noted: River Blessing Slated Saturday

Category: Announcements || By Submitted Report

The seventh-annual "Blessing of Our Rivers, Boats, City and People" will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday at the Marina at McKees Point. The event is sponsored by Jericho People, the McKeesport Area Ministerium and the City of McKeesport.

This year's speaker will be the Rev. Vincent Velas, pastor of St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Parish, located in the Christy Park section of the city. He will be joined by McKeesport area pastors and lay leaders as they ask for God's blessing on the community.

Light refreshments will be served following the blessing of the rivers and boats. Those in attendance will then be encouraged to take part in a brief prayer walk through Downtown.

The Jericho People is an ecumenical group of clergy and lay persons who promote racial and denominational unity among churches in the McKeesport area.
