CATECHETICAL SUNDAY

“Stay with us,” we hear the two disciples of our Lord implore their unknown fellow traveler as they approach Emmaus. We all know the story of these two disciples – how, after our Lord was crucified, they were on their way from Jerusalem to the village of Emmaus. They were talking about everything that had just happened to their beloved friend, Jesus, when he began to walk with them but, as we read in Luke’s gospel, “their eyes were prevented from recognizing him” (Lk 24:15). We might ask, “how could […]

Black and Indian Mission Collection

All Catholics are familiar with all kinds of “second collections” taken up in our parish churches. Through these collections, we are all called to share in the universal work of the Church. But only one second collection can claim status as the first one in our country. Recognizing a need to call the faithful to support missionary work among African American and Native American Catholics, the U.S. Catholic bishops established the Catholic Church Charity Commission for the Catholic Missions in 1884 to administer a national collection – the first of […]

Fall Activities Resume

As we celebrate Labor Day weekend, I hope you have all had time for some rest and relaxation. Now, it’s time to return to full swing! Our school begins this Wednesday, 4 September, PREP begins next Monday (9 September) and Wednesday (11 September), and all the other parish organizations resume their full fall schedule over the next few weeks. It will be great to have the parish facilities become fully alive again!

Of course, the parish facilities have been rather lively all summer as we hosted various camps: Around the World […]

GENDER MATTERS WORKSHOP

I’m sure you are aware of the great controversy swirling around in our country and in many other parts of the world over gender identity. There is a small, but important, segment of society that struggles with it. And, our Lord, who calls us all into an intimate relationship with him and his heavenly Father, calls us to both generosity and truth as we address this issue.

The Archdiocese of Philadelphia Office for Life and Family is sponsoring a workshop on Saturday, 7 September, here in our Parish Center, from 9:00am […]
