Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time

God gave us

commandments

because He loves and

cares for us all.

Throughout human history, one of the norms that guided people was that their word was their bond. Although more people today feel free to not honor a commitment when it no longer suits them, we are called to live differently. For Jesus teaches clearly that our “Yes” is to mean yes and our “No” is to mean no.

MATERNITY B.V.M. PARISH 1870-2020

150TH PARISH ANNIVERSARY

In October 2019, our Parish will begin a year-long celebration

of 150 years.

This is truly a milestone for our Parish!

To organize a celebration worthy of this special anniversary, four

Committees have now been formed: Liturgical/Spiritual, Social,

Public Relations and Financial.

Those interested in becoming part of any committee, please call the

Rectory during regular office hours(215.673.8127) ASAP. A meeting

for all will be held very soon.

2017 Catholic

Charities Appeal The 2016 Catholic Charities Appeal was a huge success. Our Parish not only met our goal of $52,965, we sur-

passed it. Our final total for 2016 amounts to $56,038. Our people are so generous, espe-cially to those in need. Thank You!

The 2017 Appeal has officially begun. Many of you have already received your mailing. If not, there are pledge cards and envelopes at all the Church Entrances.

Archbishop Chaput is asking for a Diocesan goal of $12.5 million in 2017. Our Parish goal is $58,261. We exceeded our goal last year and we can do it again this year. There are so many projects and ministries needing our financial help and our prayers.

Become a PARTNER IN HOPE and make an impact all year round!
