ALL ARE WELCOME TO ATTEND MASS AT THE CHURCH!  We are pleased to welcome our parishioners back to the public celebrations of the Mass, beginning with the Sunday Vigil Mass at 4:00 p.m. and the regular schedule of Masses on Sundays at 8:00, 9:30, and 11:30 a.m.  Weekday Masses have resumed at 7:30 a.m., but will be held in the Church, not the Chapel. 

Dispensation to attend Mass is still in effect in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.  The decision to in person is yours, based on your comfort level and health concerns.  MASKS  MUST BE WORN IN THE CHUCH BY EVERYONE OVER THE AGE OF 3 YEARS.  For more details about seating, receiving Communion and safety, please click here.  

20201 MASS BOOK OPENS JULY 31:   The book for Mass Intention for 2021is now open.  If you wish to reserve a Mass for next year, please stop by the Parish Business Office during posted hours and we would be happy to assist you. The stipend for each Mass is $10, cash or check.  

PRAYING THE PSALMS - Daytime Bible Study Group:  We often hear the Psalms read at Mass and we even sing them in hymns, but have you ever thought about them outside of Mass? The Psalms are actually the prayers of Christ himself! It's not too late to join Seminarian Philip Cheung for a scriptural study program focused on the Psalms. The study group meets on Thursdays at 11am in the Church “Living Room” to allow for ample social distance.  Feel free to come! 

SACRAMENT OF RECONCILIATION: The Sacrament of Reconciliation is available in the Church shrine area (left of the Sanctuary), on Saturday afternoon between 3:00 -3:45 p.m.  All of the safety protocols we have been following will apply: wear a mask; sit at least 6 feet away from one another; use hand sanitizer when entering church, and wipe down the pew with the provided materials when you arrive and leave.  

PARISH OFFICE HOURS EXPANDED: The Parish Business Office will return to six days a week service beginning the week of August 17. Office hours will be Monday through Thursday, 8:30 a.m. until noon; closed for lunch for one hour; open again at 1:00 p.m. until 4:30 p.m..   The office is closed on Friday.  Saturday hours will be 10:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m.; Sunday hours are 9:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m.. If you have business at the parish, need to drop off food donations, or wish to visit the Chapel, please come during those hours.  If you need to contact the office during other hours, please call and leave a message or send an email to the person you need to speak with, and they will reply.  Thank you for your patience!

LIVE STREAMING MASS:  St. John Fisher Parish will continue to live-stream Mass through our website and facebook page while the exemption for live attendance continues during the yellow phase of returning to normal activity.  Each week, Father will celebrate the 4:00pm Vigil Mass live.  It will be recorded and remain available on Facebook until 11:00 pm on Sunday.  If you choose to avoid public Mass, please continue to join us for Mass through our on-line streaming.

ST. JOHN FISHER PARISH PHONE APP:  The mobile phone app for St. John Fisher parish has changed.  If you previously uploaded the app to your phone, you will need to do it again. If you haven't tried it yet, we encourage you to do so!  It's easy!  Send a text message to the phone number 555888; type PARISHAPP1 for Apple products; type PARISHAPP2 for android phones, and press send.  A link will pop up.  Click that link, which will take you to the WeConnect Parish App page.  Click "open".  For the best use, click 'allow' for location (so it finds churches near you) and notifications.  Then you will be given a list of parishes...select St. John Fisher.  That's it!  You can see the bulletin on your phone, and several other items of interest.  By allowing notifications, the parish can send you a text message when important news happens (like when public gathering restrictions are lifted and Mass can be said 'live' again).
