22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time
We are to take up our
cross each day and
follow Jesus Christ.
Today’s Gospel emphasizes what is required to follow Christ. We must set aside our selfish de-sires and take up our cross each day to help build up the Kingdom of God. This involves sacrifice. Rather than conforming to what is popular in our present age, we must strive to do what is good and pleasing to the Lord each day.

OUR PARISH VISITATION RESUMES
In conjunction with September as Stewardship Month and as a means of spreading
the Good News of the Catholic Faith and Maternity B.V.M. Parish, the Parish Visitation
will resume. Visits will be made Mondays through Thursdays, 6 to 8 PM,
from September 11 through 28.
Our goals: meet you, hear your observations, bless your homes
and encourage your full participation in our Parish’s faith life.
The homes to be visited are located on the west side of Bustleton Avenue to Verree Road and south to Pennypack Park. Previous visits to those living in apartment complexes or condominiums were un-successful; therefore, these visits will be not be at-tempted. Parishioners living in these complexes and who would like a visit are asked to call the Rectory and make an appointment for a visit. A list of all homes to be visited is being mailed to every house-hold and will appear each week in the Parish Bulle-tin. Any help you can give driving our clergy and staff and alerting the homes of their visits would be most appreciated. Call Colleen at the Rectory (215-673-8127) with your availability and/or for more details.
