A Special collection is being taken this weekend for the Care of Aging & Infirm Priests of the Archdiocese.
The Jackpot for January is over $1,450.
Who will be our January winner?
All parishioners have a chance to participate in our 50/50 drawing each month. If you wish to participate just put $5.00 cash or check into the yellow 50/50 envelope you received with your regular monthly envelopes & drop it in the collection basket at mass or at the rectory office.
Additional envelopes are available in the back of the church, in the school/PREP and rectory offices. The more envelopes you submit, the more opportunities you have to win. The drawing will be made on the last day of the month. All you have to do is wait for a call from Fr. Bob saying you are a winner.

Restore: A Healing Retreat for Men & Women at Our Lady of Czestochowa Shrine, Doylestown - Feb. 20-23, 2025
For men and women seeking Christ-centered healing from the emotional and spiritual effects of trauma and past wounding. Through unique, facilitated healing encounters, we listen for the Holy Spirit’s promptings as He reveals the memories, the moments, and the circumstances that caused disintegration within us. God desires to bring us restoration and healing so we will live from the truth that we are His beloved sons and daughters. He desires the restoration of womanhood and manhood to their full glory, empowering us to embrace our unique gifts and complementarity.
Retreat Leaders: Father Stephen DeLacy and De Yarrison of You Are Made New Ministry
