Prayerful greetings from the approximately 4,500 parishioners and the entire Parish Staff of Holy Name Parish in Ebensburg, Pennsylvania.

The history of this venerable parish is rapidly approaching a bicentennial milestone.  Growth of this parish family remains a reality since its earliest years.

Many generations have left us with a remarkable legacy.  We truly have been and are "God's People Serving Others," including reaching out to Twin Parish friends in Pandiassou, Haiti.  Holy Name Parish is Eucharistically centered, practicing more than thirty years of monthly adoration before the Exposed Blessed Sacrament.  This generation is contributing significantly to the renowned legacy of this Cambria County seat parish.

The Catholics of Ebensburg, PA identify with a strong community of faith.  United in faith, they are woven into a rich fabric of all, universally, who hold and teach the message of Jesus Christ and the Sacred Traditions of the Roman Catholic Church.

With personal prayers and blessings, I remain,

Yours in His Most Holy Name,
Msgr. Arnold L. Gaus
