TEN- A series reflecting on the Ten Plagues of Egypt!
April 27, 2020 by ·
The Office for Catechetical Formation is sponsoring a series which connects the 10 plagues of Egypt to the present pandemic in which we are immersed. This unprecedented time reminds us how fragile life truly is, and how little control we have. Many people are turning to the Bible for answers. Beginning today and for the next TEN days, Father Matt Guckin will be spending TEN minutes each day at TEN O’Clock in the morning to discuss each of the TEN plagues in Egypt at the time of Moses (emphasis on TEN!).
Click here to view the session from this morning.
The series will continue tomorrow, Tuesday, April 28, at 10AM on www.phillyocf.org.
Each session will be recorded daily and archived if you are unable to make the 10am time. The recorded sessions also will be available on www.phillyocf.org.

Novena for Vocations
On Sunday, May 3, 2020, the universal Catholic Church celebrates the 57th World Day of Prayer for Vocations. We invite you to pray for increased grace in young people to respond to God’s call to the priesthood and religious life throughout the world, but especially in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.
To celebrate this World Day of Prayer for Vocations, we invite you to join the seminarians from St. Charles Borromeo Seminary in praying a Novena for Vocations between April 25th and May 3rd. A novena is a devotion consisting of prayer said on nine successive days, asking to obtain special grace. The seminarians have videotaped their daily reflection/prayers and each day of the Novena the videos will be available on the website heedthecall.org/novena and on Facebook at facebook.com/phillypriest. For your convenience, we will be sharing the Phillypriest Facebook postings on our Parish Facebook page.

Parishioners might be wondering how we are able to produce such professional broadcasts of our beautiful Parish Liturgies. The answer is our very own parishioner, Hank Wajda! Thank you, Hank, and thanks to your wife, Cathy, for her patience and support as you spend so much time setting up, testing, and producing each Mass and Pastor’s Message.
