During the live broadcast of our May Procession, we experienced several technical difficulties. We are happy to share with you now Monsignor McCormac’s homily, as well as a few photographs of the crowning and of our May Queen, Caitlyn Eisenbrey.

We are pleased to introduce Arise: Restoring Catholic Life after the Pandemic. This is the Archdiocese of Philadelphia’s pastoral plan for post-pandemic renewal. Information and additional videos are available on the Arise website, http://archphila.org/arise.

Catholic artists, confined to their homes, offer a hymn of comfort.

We pray for God’s blessing on all mothers; our mothers both living and dead, spiritual mothers, godmothers, foster mothers, stepmothers. We especially pray for women who long to be mothers or who have lost children in miscarriage and stillbirth or have experienced the death of a child after birth no matter what age. We entrust the care of all mothers to Mary, the mother of our Lord, who understands the joys and sorrows of motherhood.

Please remember in your prayers our young parishioners in this year’s First Holy Communion class. Prior to COVID-19, today would have been their special day, their turn to join our Parish Community around the Table of the Lord. Instead, they will continue to pray and prepare and wait. We all look forward to the Fall when we can celebrate with them their First Holy Communion. Until then, please continue to remember our First Holy Communion class and their families in your prayers. Indeed, we should remember all children and adults who were looking forward to receiving their First Holy Communion at this time of the liturgical year.

Thanks to the benevolence and sewing talents of Mary Carmello, and through generous donations made by the Ladies of the Walking with Purpose Group, we are able to offer a reusable mask to anyone who needs it. The masks are 100% cotton, machine washable and dryable, and will fit most people. Please contact Mary Carmello at mtcarmello@aol.com to place your order.

Stay safe, protect yourself and others. Wear a mask.

For all who have been missing those wonderful Sunday morning preludes and postludes…

The Arise: Resurrection and Restoration Easter video series breaks open the mystery of the Resurrection of Jesus and his power to bring us new life in the midst of the pandemic. It is also designed to help us transition back into “in person” life in the Church as the COVID19 restrictions slowly lift.  These short videos, given by dynamic local speakers, will offer a teaching on the resurrection of Jesus Christ, its power to restore our lives here and now, and why the “in person” nature of our life as Catholics is so important.
