Advocates for Homeless and Those in Need
They (www.AHTN.org) are looking for churches to join their Community Meal Program, where a congregation provides a hot meal once a month to anyone in need (typically 20-40 people). ABVM has begun the process of gathering information and finding volunteers who might be willing to get involved in some way. If you, or someone you know, might be interested and want to be kept informed as the process unfolds, please contact Rose Jacobs RosemarieJacobs64@gmail.com, 215-219-9047.

Caring for Friends

Our meal supply is getting low and as we have temporarily halted meal production in our commercial kitchen for updates, this will further reduce our meal supply. If you have extra meals in your freezer, please bring them to church and place them in the CFF freezer in our parish kitchen. Our friends need these meals all year round and the summer months can be challenging. Please consider taking a few extra trays and sharing your dinners with our isolated homebound friends.

Society of St Vincent dePaul - ABVM Conference

The ST. VINCENT DE PAUL Society has a three-fold mission; Service, Friendship, and Spirituality. Our members meet twice a month to address requests we have received from people needing help and decide what kind of help we can offer. To meet the mission of Spirituality, we begin each meeting with a reflection about the Gospel for the following Sunday and we close with intentions and prayers. We currently are in need of a Spiritual Director who will help guide the beginning and ending prayers of our meetings. This person need not be ordained or religious, but has an interest in maintaining the spirituality of our members. Much of the prayers, readings and reflections can be found in the SVDP member website and through prayers and discussions with spiritual directors of other local conferences. This position is probably the most important of each conference and we are seriously lacking this help. If you would like to inquire about joining our meetings and providing this specific important assistance, please call the rectory 215-357-1221 ext. 21.
