The above stained glass window was acquired from Beyer Studio and was once in St. Boniface Catholic Church in North Philadelphia. That parish is now closed and we were fortunate to be able to purchase this window for our new church. This one is called "Jesus with Children" and is located in the glass wall between the gathering space (Narthex) and the main body of the church (Nave). It was made in 1888 by Franz Mayer & Company in Munich Germany.

PRAYER OF SAINT MICHAEL
Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle; be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray: and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen

This window was also acquired from Beyer Studio from St. Boniface Catholic Church in North Philadelphia. It is called "Holy Family" and is located behind the altar on the back wall of the new church. Like the other large window, it was made in 1888 by Franz Mayer & Company in Munich Germany. You can see in the new church building how large and magnificent these windows are!

Every month on the second Sunday at 1 pm we pray this special prayer in the Father Carlo Garden of Remembrance (our Columbarium). This is a wonderful way to remember and pray for loved ones buried here. Please join us - all are welcome!

 Let us offer a reminder on the Church's fasting and abstinence teachings for the season of LENT:
Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are obligatory days of universal fast and abstinence. Fasting is obligatory for all who have completed their 18th year and have not yet reached their 60th year. Fasting allows a person to eat one full meal. Two smaller meals may be taken, not to equal one full meal. Abstinence (from meat) is obligatory for all who have reached their 14th year. If possible, the fast on Good Friday is continued until the Easter Vigil (on Holy Saturday night) as the "paschal fast" to honor the suffering and death of the Lord Jesus, and to prepare our-selves to share more fully and to celebrate more readily his Resurrection. Fridays in Lent are obligatory days of complete abstinence (from meat) for all who have completed their 14th year.
