Our Mobile Directory contains contact information for all the families of Church of the Apostles and is an easy-to-use tool to help you stay connected. PLUS, you will see portraits of all our families that participated in our recent photography event. It’s a great way to connect names and faces!

The link to the mobile directory:

The password to the mobile directory was distributed in the recent congregational meeting mailing.  If you did not receive the mailing and a copy of the flyer that contained the password, please contact the church office.

Once you are logged in, you can scroll through the directory, search by name, view family profiles, email, call, map addresses, and view our staff page. The onscreen Guided Tour will walk you through each of these areas. It’s very user friendly!

This online directory will contain the most up-to-date contact information for everyone. To update your contact information, please contact the church office at (717) 392-5718. Periodically, we will be hosting additional photography events to include even more of our family’s portraits in our mobile directory.

Connecting has never been easier! Check it out today.

Everyone and their pet(s) are welcome!

As we near the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, we will once again offer a Blessing of the Animals on Saturday, September 29th in the Pavilion of Rader Park from 10-11 am.

Pets of all sizes, shapes, and varieties are welcome. Please ensure they are secured in a way that provides safety for them and the other pets present.

Meet us for a blessing & refreshments!

“Blessed are you, Lord God, maker of all living creatures. You called forth fish in the sea, birds in the air and animals on the land. You inspired Saint Francis to call all of them his brothers and sisters. We ask you to bless this pet. By the power of your love, enable it to live according to your plan. May we always praise you for all your beauty in creation. Blessed are you, Lord our God, in all your creatures! Amen.” – a Franciscan pet blessing
