Please be aware that there are lots of scammers out in cyberspace who are always looking for ways to prey on your generosity! Please examine critically any solicitations you may receive via email from our clergy or staff. Be especially careful to examine the actual email address with domain name for clues as to authenticity. Please note that the scammer is trying to “spoof” Fr. Phil’s real email address by inserting “diopitt” as part of his name. This is still a gmail address and is not Fr. Phil’s actual email address. Our staffs’ email addresses are shown on our website and in the bulletin. Another clue is that our clergy will almost certainly call you for a “personal” favor. Whenever you are uncertain, please call our office to verify the authenticity of such emails! Never respond to these emails before knowing 100% to whom you are corresponding!

Sunday and Holy Day Masses will be broadcast on short-range FM radio. Simply pull into the Saint Ferdinand Parking Lot and tune your car radio to 96.3 FM. You can listen to the Mass from the comfort of your car! Or bring your smartphone or cellular-enabled tablet and watch the live stream right here on our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/saintferdinandcranberry/. Holy Communion will be distributed outside of the doors of the Church - you will be called forward at the appropriate time. You must be on the Saint Ferdinand property to access the FM radio broadcast as the coverage is limited. So - bring your smartphone/tablet OR tune in to 96.3 FM for the 4:00 PM Saturday, 10:00 AM Sunday Masses!
