FROM OUR PASTOR

Dear Friends, As our parish gathers to worship God this weekend, we are not alone. Parishes across the globe are gathering as we are to give thanks and to receive the Gift God has so generously given us. “The Kingdom of God is at hand for you” is the message Jesus tells His disciples to proclaim in the places He sends them. Isaiah reveals the comfort to be found in the Kingdom of God. Over the past few weeks

027 MDP for070713

we have heard about the cost of discipleship. For those who repent, the kingdom of God is at hand, and today, we are given a glimpse of the rewards of discipleship. Finding inspiration from the readings today, let us not be afraid of proclaiming the same Good News to everyone. It is still our God given right to herald to the Good News in the public square! I am grateful to those who helped commemorate our nations’ FORTNIGHT FOR FREEDOM and helping our community in Upper Merion to realize the great gifts of liberty we enjoy in this country. May the summer move more slowly for you; to relax and enjoy family and friends,

Father Cioppi

I would like to welcome three new members to our work staff: Lauren Joyce has joined us a Director of Religious Education. Carol Murray has come onboard as Parish Secretary, and Jack Bellantoni is now the Principal of Mother Teresa Regional Catholic School. Our new Staff members are looking forward to working with you. Please help me to welcome them to our community with our promise of prayers and support

IN OUR PARISH

.

THANKS AND GOD BLESS YOU! To all our wonderful parishioners, thank you! I am most grateful for the friendships made during my 14 years in ministry here at Mother of Divine Providence Parish. I have met and worked with so many of you through the Religious Education Program and in RCIA. It has been a delight to watch your children grow in our Faith, and a joy to be part of the experience of so many adults as they journeyed in faith into the Catholic Church. Thanks to all who stopped in last Sunday to join us in celebrating my retirement. It was fun to share stories of our times together. Your well wishes and gifts are most appreciated. A very special thanks goes to Father Cioppi, Msgr. Murray, Deacon Mark, Sr. Veronica, Simone and all the parish, school and PREP Staffs for your goodness to me. And to the parish

family forever at the 8:00 daily Mass … you are the best! Know that everyone at MDP will always have a place in my heart and in my prayers. And I ask your prayers, for although my flower garden has my attention this summer, I desire to be open to whatever God has planned for me in the future. Guaranteed there will be something May God’s awesome Love fill you and your family with the greatest of blessings! Theresa Gilmore
