Second Sunday of Easter (Divine Mercy Sunday)
Divine Mercy Sunday (the second Sunday of Easter) was proclaimed by Pope John Paul II in 2000. The celebration is an opportunity to reflect on how God’s mercy overcomes sin and offers “a perennial invitation to the Christian world to face, with confidence in divine benevolence, the difficulties and trials that humankind will experi-ence in the years to come.” (Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments)
Our Lenten CRS Rice Bowl project has concluded. Please return your Rice Bowls to the basket on the church altar at any Mass or to the Parish House by April 22. Please do not leave Rice Bowls at the church exits or at the Parish House after hours. If possible, kindly convert your contribution to a check payable to CRS Rice Bowl. Questions? Please call us at (610) 874-3418 x 106. Thank you for your gener-ous support of all in our community and around the world who are served by Catholic Relief Services.

Welcome to the Parish Family!
O ur parish family welcomed parishioner Keith Moore into the Catholic faith at the Easter Vigil Mass, where Keith’s wife Julie
and parishioner Gena Scanlan were initiated into full communion with the Church.
After Keith’s baptism (top right), all three participants received the Sacraments of First Eucharist and Confirma-tion (bottom right).
The Moores and Gena had been preparing for their Sac-raments since the fall with our Rite of Christian Initiation
of Adults team, which serves both adults con-verting to the Catholic faith and those who wish to complete their Sacraments of Initia-tion.
A reception, hosted by Ellen and Dave Tannenbaum, followed the Mass after proud photos with families and sponsors (left top and bottom).
RCIA meets every Sunday after the 9:30 a.m. Mass. To learn more, please contact Elaine Mott at (610) 639-5878 or [email protected]. We warmly welcome you at any time.
