Hopegate Pregnancy & Parenting Support Centers
2025 “WONDERFULLY MADE”
BABY BOTTLE CAMPAIGN
“We envision a future where Hopegate (formerly EMPCC) is recognized as the resource where life is promoted, parents are equipped, and families are strengthened in Bradford and Sullivan counties.” Thank you for helping us fulfill this mission! You are an essential part of what we do at Hopegate.
Fill your baby bottle with change to help us change the lives of the women, men and families we serve at Hopegate.
We also accept bills and checks – STILL made out to EMPCC.
Since the Covid epidemic in 2020, we have welcomed new families and also lost members for many reasons. We are working towards updating our parishioners’ contact information to get a more accurate snapshot of the total families in our parish. Please take the time to complete the form below. If you prefer, paper forms are by the bulletins in all three churches and can be placed in the offertory basket.
All Catholics should be registered in their local parish. This helps facilitate many church activities such as requests for sponsor forms, marriage in the church and other religious needs. Having accurate statistics is also important for parish planning of religious education and other services and when the Diocese is allocating clerical and financial resources.
Receiving sacraments in a parish does not automatically register you in the parish. For example, parents will sometimes bring their newborn to the parish they grew up in for baptism, especially if they have family members who cannot travel easily.
For our young adults: If you have entered the work force and/or have completed a four year degree, you should be registered as an independent family rather than as a child in your parents’ family, even if you still live in their home.

Lord Jesus Christ, you are the meaning of the world and of human life. You are the goal of all our desires, the satisfaction of all our longings, and the end of all our work. Help us seek and find you in all that we do. May we be faithful disciples and responsible stewards of all your gifts. May our gifts of time, talent, and treasure reflect the fact that we are grateful for what you have given to us. As individuals and parishes who are prayerfully discerning Our Call to Serve this year, may we always remember that Jesus came so that we might have life and have it more abundantly. We know that when we work together our diocese can do what no individual or parish can do on its own, and we ask You to look with favor over us as we seek to respond anew to the great physical and spiritual needs of so many in our midst. Grant us the spirit of true Christian Stewardship so we may carry out Your Mission. Watch over and continue to bless the Church of Scranton in the weeks and months ahead. We ask this in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
