STEWARD BLOCK COLLECTION WEEKEND

The annual Block Collection will be the weekend of October 15-16, 2022. This annual Stewardship appeal is a significant source of income for our parish, as well as a way of updating our records. Registered families should receive the Stewardship Newsletter, census form and envelope in the mail within the next few days. Please place the census form along with a contribution, if you are able, in the Block Collection envelope and drop it in the collection basket. You can mail the envelope directly to the parish office as well. It is especially important that everyone completes and returns the Census form, regardless of whether you are able to make a Block Collection donation at this time.

Thank you for your Stewardship

PAPER RECYCLING

The paper collection bins have been removed from the parking lot. The collection company was not remitting any payment to our parish and debris was collecting around the bins. We encourage parishioners to take advantage of the recycling opportunities through your township.

COVID UPDATE: All Are Welcome! Please respect the personal decisions of your fellow parishioners to wear or not wear a facial mask. Hand sanitizer is available in the vestibules. Thank you.

NOTHING COMPARES TO BEING THERE! Weddings, birthdays, parties...nothing beats being there in person! The same holds true for the celebration of Mass. Be there in person to receive Jesus in the Eucharist and celebrate the Good News with fellow parishioners. Just a reminder that the Bishops of Pennsyvania have reintstated the obligation to attend Mass in person beginning Sunday, August 15. Dispensation still applies for the ill, elderly, those at high risk, and those caring for these loved ones.

CARING FOR FRIENDS The freezer is low on meals! If you are able to prepare an extra portion of your main meal, and package it in the provided containers, it will be used to help the needy senior citizens in our community. Containers, foil, bags and content labels are available in the Parish Center Kitchen by the freezer. Thank you!
