Parish Home Visitation Program

Gathering as the home Church brings fellow parishioners, family, and neighbors together in a context of prayer, love, and mutual support. Parish Home Visitations will continue this winter on Monday, March 8 and Monday, March 15, 2010. All that is needed is an “open heart” and a sharing of light refreshments. Please consider being a “Host Family” either in your home or at the Trinity Center. Thank you and let us remember all of our parishioners in prayer.

If you are interested, or would like additional information, please contact Kristal Austin at 215-208-4516.

St. John’s Hospice Casserole Program

Many thanks to all who contributed a casserole to St. John's Hospice this month. Your blessed efforts yielded 31 trays that will feed over 350 homeless men. The next drop-off weekend is March 13-14. Please try to hold your casserole till then, as the freezer also serves Aid for Friends, and space is limited. Pans and lids are always available on top of the freezer. For further information, please contact Suzanne Kuhn, 215-355-5846, SuzanneRKuhn@msn.com.

Music During Lent

The Lenten season is a time in which we reflect upon the sacrifice our Savior Jesus Christ has made for us in his passion and death on Calvary. The power of this sacrifice can be transformative when we come to understand the love and mercy Jesus has shown for us in giving His life for our redemption. We transfigure our own lives by extending that mercy and forgiveness to ourselves and the people whose lives we touch.
 
Music in the Lenten season assumes a prayerful and contemplative tone.  As we begin our Lenten journey, may we open our hearts to the mercy and love of our Savior Jesus Christ, whose glorious Resurrection we await at Easter.
