The Holy Family
Families are the
domestic Church,
cultivating a family life
centered on Christ.
Most people first experience faith within their family, where it is planted and nurtured. Mary and Joseph nurtured Jesus in the ways of faith and helped Him grow in wisdom through their love and commitment to Him and to each other, and through their obedience to Scripture and Tradi-tion. It is through our trust in God and our love for one another that we bring Christ to life in our own families and communities.

150th Parish Anniversary In October 2019, we plan to begin a year-long celebration of 150 years.
This is truly a milestone for our Parish! Preparations for this celebration have
already begun. And we need your help! We are gathering memorabilia, pictures, and articles from the past years to be used for an Anniversary Book, Power-point Presentations and other displays.
Items may be dropped off at the Rectory. Please put you name on it
so items could be returned. Pictures and information can be emailed
to [email protected]. For more details, please contact the Rectory at 215-673-8127
during regular office hours.
Severe Weather Conditions Severe, snowy weather on weekends will affect
our Mass schedule. If this occurs, Masses will not be cancelled in the Upper Church,
but may be moved to the Lower Chapel. Also, with the exception of attending Church
or meetings, please: no parking in any Church lots at any time, especially during the winter.
It is a liability and seriously impedes effective snow removal. Thank you!
