The Saint Catherine of Siena Saint Vincent DePaul conference will be organizing the Christmas Guardian Angel program again this year.
Last year our parish helped over 100 families and 330 men, women and children with Christmas gifts. We are looking for Guardian Angels to sponsor a family this year. Families range from small (1-2 members), medium (3-5 members) and large (6 and over). Lists will be returned from our families in late October/early November. Gift drop off will be on Friday, December 17th from 4:00PM to 7:00PM at SCS. If you are interested in helping us this year, please email scsgas@gmail.com and let us know family size preference (small, medium or large) and someone will be in touch with you late October early November with the details of your family. |

CALLING ALL COOKS!
Caring for Friends (formerly Aid for Friends) needs volunteers to help stock the freezer with food for deliveries to the homebound. Storage trays are available in the back of the Narthex. It’s easy to make a few extra portions when you are doing your regular meal prep. Meals may be taken to the freezer in the basement of the parish office during regular business hours.

Statement of Archbishop Nelson J. Pérez Regarding Safety As Mass Obligation Resumes
“Ensuring the health and welfare of those entrusted to the pastoral and temporal care of our Church, especially as we navigate a global pandemic, is a paramount priority as the Archbishop of Philadelphia. During this time of acute hardship and struggle, I have worked in conjunction with the Catholic Bishops of Pennsylvania and the senior administration of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia to implement best practices intended to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and protect those most vulnerable.
As the COVID-19 landscape evolved, we continuously re-evaluated those efforts in consultation with public health officials and based on data.
As your Shepherd, I am called to provide the Eucharist in a safe environment. To that end, I ask that you prioritize your own health and the health of your neighbors and faith communities.
As previously announced, the Catholic Bishops of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania are reinstating the obligation to attend Mass in person on Sundays and holy days beginning on Sunday, August 15, 2021. However, by longstanding Church law, this obligation does not apply to those who are
