LANGUAGES—PENTECOST

Would you be interested in volunteering by reading during one mass the weekend of May 26/27? Please call or email Sr. Diane at the rectory. (215-357-1221) or (dwolfssj@aol.com) Thanks to those who have enriched our Pentecost liturgies in the past. We look forward to new volunteers also.
ETHNIC DRESS ON PENTECOST
“At this sound, they gathered in a large crowd, but they were confused because each one heard them speaking in his own language. They were astounded . . .how does each of us hear them in his native language?” (Acts 2) In celebration of Pentecost and recognition of people of all nations hearing God’s word on the first Pentecost, we invite all our parishioners to wear clothing that reflects your heritage. At Assumption we have families from many, many countries. On May 26th and 27th let us see the universality of our parish.

At the same time we will celebrate the years of blessings that God has poured on us through Assumption School. All Alumni are encouraged to spread the word, tweet, email, facebook about the event.
