Fr. John F. McBride(1934-2020)
As many of you are already aware, we recently said goodbye toFather John F. McBride. Unfortunately, we had some technical issues
during the live stream of the celebration with Archbishop Perez.
However, we are blessed because we were able to create a condensed version of the Mass with improved audio and video. Hopefully,
this is a fi tting memorial to our friend. It can be accessed by scanning the QR code with your smartphone, or with the following link:

Scheduling Change...After discussions with Monsignor Picard and the Priests, Saint Andrew Church will no longer
have a 7:00PM Mass moving forward. This decision was not made lightly, but is a result of many factors. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and thank you for understanding.
For the Mass Intentions that will be affected by this change, a Mass will be offered specifically for your loved one, and their name will be announced at the 12:00PM Mass on your chosen date.
UNBOUND is ministry of healing in which a trained prayer team prays with individuals to assist them in overcoming the spiritual obstacles they encounter in their path to Christian discipleship and take hold of greater freedom in Christ.
We use an approach to deliverance and healing prayer developed by Neal Lozano. The prayer model’s focus is on an individual, while the prayer leader deeply listens to their story and heart. It is a safe, loving, eff ective prayer model that helps people to respond to the good news of the Gospel.
Our purpose is to assist you in responding to Jesus Christ, who off ers every person the possibility of growing ever more deeply in spiritual freedom.
To learn more about the ministry, or to make an appointment, please call Anita Colahan at (215) 804-9569, or email [email protected]. Questions may also be directed to Fr. Marc Capizzi at (215) 968-2262 x15 or via email at [email protected].
