PARISHIONERS HELPING PARISHIONERS GET TO CHURCH FOR SUNDAY MASS
If you need a ride to Mass or can volunteer to drive (SOME STILL NEEDED!),
please call Cheryl Vozzelli at 215-725-1360.
28th Sunday in Ordinary Time
God offers us the
perspective of
eternity.
In a secular world, so many people today have a limited perspective, valuing and pursuing what they see before their eyes and what benefits them in this present life. God calls us, as follow-ers of Jesus, to take the longer view: to pursue eternal values, trusting that God will also give us what we need here and now.

Do You Need An
‘Easy Access’ Sunday Mass?
Your Feedback Is Important!
A proposal was made at the last Pastoral Coun-cil Meeting to celebrate the 12:30 PM Sunday Mass in the Lower Chapel. This change would be open to all, and would especially accommo-date many of our Parishioners who have trouble getting into the Upper Church. To further the “easy access” concept, it was also suggested that a pew be removed from the Blessed Mother’s side of the Lower Chapel to provide more room for wheel chairs and walkers (a pew on St. Joseph’s side already provides these ac-commodations). Your feedback to this concept is essential and can be made by contacting the Rectory during Office Hours at 215-673-8127.

LITTLE CHURCH SCHOOL This program has begun and will continue throughout the school year. Parents drop off their children at 9:15 AM at the Convent. This allows parents to attend the 9:30 AM Mass, while their little ones participate in a “Seeds” and “Promise” program designed for their specific age groups: 3 & 4 year olds, and 5 year olds & Kindergarten. This catechetical program is held in the Pre-K classrooms in the Convent and includes religious story time, songs and activities based on the Sun-day Gospels. After the 9:30 AM Mass, parents promptly pick up their children.
Adults and high school and college students are needed as teachers and aides for this
program. This is not a weekly commitment. Volunteers will be scheduled throughout the school year. Contact Sr. Mary Beth
at 215-673-4010.
