Spiritual Reflection
from St. David Parish
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind. . . Love your neighbor as yourself.”
THE CALL TO JOY
I once read a story of a ninety-year-old Catholic Iraqi widow named Victoria whose city was overrun by ISIS fighters. Unable to escape because of her age, she spent several days hiding in her home, praying with a few of her friends. Speaking of this ordeal, she later said, “Prayer sustained us.” Click HERE to continue reading Sr. Kathleen's reflection.
St. David Pro-Life Organization
St. David Parish would like to start an ACTIVE Pro-Life club for all ages. We are planning on meeting monthly. Please email, text or call one of us to let us know if you would be interested in this organization.
We are trying to decide if we will have a bus for the March for Life in January 2021. The March is still happening and our parish would love to represent in Washington, D.C. next year. For planning purposes, please email, text, or call one of us to let us know if you are interested in attending the March this year. We need to get a firm count before we order the bus.
Annual Coat, Clothing, and Shoe Collection
Due to the pandemic, the St. Vincent de Paul annual clothing collection will not be held at the church. Please bag your gently used coats, clothing, shoes, and small household items and bring them to the Greendrop facility on York Road across from the Giant supermarket entrance from 10 AM to 5 PM Monday through Saturday. Please tell the attendants that your donation should be credited to the St. Vincent de Paul Society. We thank you for your support. May God bless you with good health and safety during this uncertain time.
“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.”
Adoration is in our chapel Monday 7 AM – 7 PM, Wednesday 7 AM – 7 PM and Friday 7 AM – 4 PM.
If you can commit to an hour each week, adorers are needed throughout the day, however the greatest needs are Wednesdays 11 AM & Fridays at 8 AM.
Please, do not let Jesus be alone!
If you can accept this invitation and sign up for a Holy Hour, please contact Paula Warnalis 215-715-6911.

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
