Spiritual Reflection
from St. David Parish
Marriage and family life are a blessing and a gift from God. In the fulfillment of this Sacrament, the marriage of a Christian man and woman is a sign of the marriage between Christ and the Church. While marriage is a special blessing for Christians because of the grace of Christ, marriage is also a natural blessing and gift for everyone in all times and cultures. It is a source of blessing to the couple, to their families, and to society and includes the wondrous gift of co-creating human life. Click HERE to view Sr. Kathleen's reflection.
Mass Intentions
The 2022 Mass Intentions Book will not be available this Lent. We still have many masses available this year.
We are no longer taking requests for intentions for the Saturday Vigil, Sunday, Christmas, and Easter. Masses can be requested by phone or in-person. God bless.
FAST AND ABSTINENCE AND OTHER ACTS OF PENANCE FOR LENT 2021
The Bishops of the United States prescribe, as minimal obligation, that all persons who are 14 and older are bound to abstain from eating meat on Ash Wednesday, February 17, 2021, on all the Fridays of Lent and Good Friday (with the exception of Friday, March 19th, The Solemnity of St. Joseph). Further, all persons 18 and older, up to and including their 59th birthday, are bound to fast by limiting themselves to a single full meal on Ash Wednesday and on Good Friday, while the other two meals on those days are to be light. All the faithful are encouraged, when possible, to participate at Mass and to receive the Holy Eucharist daily, to celebrate frequently the Sacrament of Penance, to undertake spiritual reading, especially the study of the Sacred Scriptures, and to participate in parish Lenten devotions as well as Lenten education programs. Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament is especially recommended.

Remembering
Sr. Judith Moeller
Our Lady of Confidence and St. David Parish celebrate the life and gift of Sister Judith Moeller. Sr. Judith passed away peacefully on Friday, February 5, 2021. She was a devoted OLC Principal for ten years and worked for many years in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. She spent 14 years at St. David Parish and Convent. Her light will continue to shine in the hallways and students she touched forever.

We would like to extend a warm welcome to Fr. Gene Geinzer. He will be assisting with the weekend masses periodically here at Saint David.
Fr. Geinzer was born in Pittsburgh and entered the Jesuits near Reading in 1962. He studied Classics, English, Art and Philosophy for 6 years and graduated in 1968 from Spring Hill College. He earned a Masters in Fine Arts at Pratt Institute in New York in 1970. He studied theology in New Orleans and New York City from 1971 to 1975 and was ordained a priest in 1974 in Baltimore. In 1991 he earned a Masters in Architecture at IIT Chicago.
He taught at Ralph Young Junior High, Georgetown University, Loyola University Chicago, the Beijing Center for Chinese Studies and now teaches part time at Saint Joseph's University.
He came to Philadelphia in 2019 to become the superior of the Arrupe Jesuit Community on Saint Joseph's University campus.
The time you spend with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is the best time that you will spend on earth. Each moment that you spend with Jesus will deepen your union with Him and make your soul everlastingly more glorious and beautiful in heaven and will help bring about an everlasting peace on earth.
Come, Jesus is Waiting!
Eucharistic Adoration is in our chapel every

"O Saint Joseph, do assist me by your powerful intercession, and obtain for me from your Divine Son all spiritual blessings, through Jesus Christ, our Lord, So that, having engaged here below your heavenly power, I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most Loving of Fathers."
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
