The restoration of the rectory chapel is complete! Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament has resumed and will be held and every Tuesday from 5:30 - 9:00 PM, and Friday's from 8:30 AM - 12:30 PM.

Join us for an incredibly fun night as we host our 3rd Annual Trunk or Treat event, Friday, October 20, from 5:30 - 8:00 PM in the church parking lot. The cost is only $6.00 per child. Pizza, hot dogs, sodas, and pretzels will also be available for purchase. Please click here for ticket orders and more details.

Our next session is scheduled for October 17 at 7:00 PM where we will explore The Eucharist: Source & Summit of the Christian Life. This session will delve in the beautiful mystery of Holy Eucharist. We'll explore what the Eucharist as Real Presence means and why it is central to the Catholic faith. We'll discuss why Jesus couldn't have been speaking metaphorically when he instituted the Eucharist and proclaimed it to be his body and blood. Participants will come to better understand the nature of the Eucharist as a sacrifice and how the sacrifice of the Mass makes present Christ's sacrifice on the cross, and how this effects our participation in the Mass. We'll also delve into the nature of Holy Communion itself, and how it affords Jesus with the opportunity to fulfill his longing to be with us and our longing to be with him. Most importantly, participants will come to see how the Eucharist is the most intimate encounter we can have with our Lord this side of heaven.

No Registration Necessary!

Participation is free! Join us the 3rd Tuesday of each month from 7:00 - 8:45 PM in the parish auditorium for this incredible exploration into your Catholic faith. For more information email Dennis M. Mueller at dre@satg1.org or call 215-947-3641. For a complete list of dates and topics, click here.

"Part of being prolife and pro-religious freedom -- both of them vital issues that need our strong support -- is a willingness to look past these specific struggles to the dignity of the whole person. It's one thing to tighten the security of our borders and to deport violent criminals here illegally. It's a different and much uglier thing to punish young people who've grown up in the United States as their home, but whose parents entered the country with them illegally.

The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program covers more than 800,000 noncitizen young people, protecting them from deportation and allowing them to work in the United States legally. It's a humane, just and sensible recognition of the facts: Most of these young people have nowhere else to go, and no other home than the United States.

The White House has the power to end DACA. It has threatened to do so as early as today. This would be a drastic mistake. It can only make our complicated immigration issues worse. It will poison our national debates and damage the lives of hundreds of thousands of young people who pose no threat to anyone.

I ask the people of the Archdiocese to press their federal lawmakers to find a positive legislative replacement for DACA, and to prevent the deportation of these young people."

+Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap.

The Liturgy of the Word for Children (CLOW for short) is a Liturgical Celebration for children ages 4-9 that takes place during the Sunday 10 AM Mass on the 1st, 3rd, and occasional 5th Sunday each month. It provides the children with a celebration of the Liturgy of the Word during Mass that is geared especially for them. It consists of hearing the Sunday readings proclaimed using a special Children's Lectionary, discussion, and sharing. Everything in the liturgy is adapted to their level of understanding so that the Living Word of God may be made real and present for them. CLOW is celebrated September through May. There is no registration, no fee, and no sign-ups. Children that meet the age requirement are called forth during Mass and dimissed for their separate liturgy. They then retun following the offertory to rejoin their families.

We are always seeking adults to assist with this wonderful children's ministry. If you would like information on how you can become involved, contact Dennis M. Mueller by phone at 215-947-3641 or email.
