PREP-Parish Religious Education Program

We have completed another successful PREP year. Our students will return on September 13th and 14th, 2026. Please register all students throughout the month of August or earlier. If you have any questions, please send us an email at abvmreo18@gmail.com. We check our emails regularly throughout the summer months.

We are in need of more classroom Aides. Anyone 18 years, or older, can be an aide, as long as they obtain the required clearances. The same age applies for becoming a catechist/teacher as well. If anyone would be interested in assisting our Catechists/teachers in the classroom during our PREP school year, or is interested in becoming a catechist/teacher, please don't hesitate to contact our office (215-357-3445; abvmreo18@gmail.com).

Helping Hands

One of our parish organizations, Helping Hands, is in dire need of volunteers. Helping Hands is a group of parishioners who give other parishioners in need a little 'helping hand' with small tasks that they cannot otherwise do themselves. Without more volunteers, this organization will disband within the next few months. To inquire about volunteering with Helping Hands, please contact Ingrid Trommer by phone at 267-446-7946, or by email: ingridsparetime2@aol.com.

Community Meals

Thank you to those who donated their time, treasure, and talent to help those in need at our July 23rd Community Meal. We especially appreciated Nina’s II Pizza, which generously donated meatballs, ziti, and bread for the dinner, which provided a delicious meal for our guests and a break from a hot kitchen for our volunteers. If you would like to learn how you can support this ministry, contact Rose Jacobs, (RosemarieJacobs64@gmail.com, 215-219-9047). All are welcome to get involved at our next dinner on Thursday, August 27.

Bible Study

For Bible study this year, we are leaning toward a 10-week program called Peter (published by Lectio). A 6-week program called Why We Worship (a study of the biblical roots of the Catholic Mass) is also being considered. Programs for future consideration include The Eucharist, Mary, and Jesus and the End Times, The Road To Emmaus (all from Brant Pitre); The Bible and the Church Fathers (St. Paul Center), and The Tabernacle (Anim Man Studios). A final decision on Peter will be made on August 9th to allow everyone time to order the companion workbook (available on Amazon or the Lectio website both as a student guide and leader guide containing the answers to the questions). Please direct all input and questions to Phil Schneyman (267-397-0977) by August 9th when the final decision on topic will be made. Thank you.
