During the six weeks of Lent there will be two Faith Sharing groups offered in the parish for all who are interested. Faith Sharing is not Bible Study, it is a sharing of our response to the Gospel message. Faith can be strengthen when we share it with others and when we listen to others share their Faith with us. To help us share our Faith, questions will be presented based on the Gospel reading for the upcoming Sunday. These gatherings will help us prepare for Sunday as well as strengthen our sense of belonging to a Faith community. The gatherings are being offered on Tuesdays of Lent from 1 to 2:30pm and on Wednesdays from 7 to 8:30pm in the parish center. If you have any questions, please call Fr. John at 610-525-0147 ext. 252.

The first Faith Sharing meeting for Lent begins on Tuesday, March 12 at 1:00 pm or on Wednesday, March 13 at 7:00 pm in the Parish Center. These groups will be led by Fr. John Deary. All are welcome!

The Peace and Justice committee will meet again on Thursday, March 21 at 7:00 pm in the Parish Center/Church office building.

Members of our Senior Community will gather again on Friday, March 22 at 12 noon. On this occasion, we will enjoy a “Who’s Who” contest featuring our baby pictures or young-child pictures to see how much we have changed or not changed. So bring your favorite picture with you that day and arrive early enough so we can post it for all to see. You can arrive anytime around 11:30 to prepare this awesome display of innocence and beauty! Please join us if you can.

Join us on the following Friday evenings for Pizza, Salad and Soup followed by a Spiritual Activity to help us on our Lenten Journey. Dinner is served in the Social Center from 6 to 6:45. Activities take place in the Church from 7 to 7:30.

The Augustinian Volunteers are recent college graduates between the ages of 21 – 29 who feel called to spend a year in service to others while living in an intentional community. Volunteers serve with local community partners in social service, campus ministry and education placements. By engaging in a way of life inspired by the Augustinian Friars, volunteers experience personal and spiritual development as they build relationships with fellow volunteers and those they serve. Applications are currently being accepted for the 2019 – 2020 volunteer year for our sites in Lawrence, MA; Philadelphia, PA; San Diego, CA; Ventura, CA and Chulucanas, Peru. If interested, please visit www.augustinianvolunteers.org or contact us at info@augustinianvolunteers.org.
