Spiritual Reflection
from St. David Parish
Jesus throughout His ministry is moved with compassion for the men and women of this world in so many ways. He is moved with compassion in how he deals with sinners and the sick. He is moved with compassion to suffer and die on the cross for us. True compassion is one of the lures that He puts in the water to capture men and women’s hearts. To be fishers of men and women in this world means we have to have that same compassion for each other, but in order to do that we have to catch His bait first. Click HERE to continue reading Fr. Windle's reflection.

The Green Phase
As of June 26, 2020, the five-county area of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia moved into the green phase of the reopening of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The green phase continues to require precautions to limit the spread of COVID-19 and our corporate responsibility to observe them.
The liturgical directives that follow are for the Pennsylvania green phase and our Archdiocesan Open Phase for the celebration of the Sacred Liturgy. They were authorized by the Archbishop to go into effect on Friday morning, June 26, 2020.
We can be certain that there will be challenges as we reunite and celebrate Mass together. I ask that we be patient with one another, we all desire one thing – to celebrate the Eucharist together in our church! It will take some adjusting and some refining of details, but let us keep our focus on the Lord, who calls us to gather as His people.
I eagerly await the day we gather together in our church. In the meantime, let us continue to pray for one another.
God Bless You,
Father Windle
