Spiritual Reflection
from St. David Parish

When my family was younger and all my children lived at home, my wife would make a list of chores for them to do when they would get home from school. They were to have these chores done by the time my wife would get home from work. The first thing my children would ask, after of course complaining, is what time she would be home. Her answer every time would be, “I don’t know.” Click HERE to continue reading Deacon Chris's reflection.

You’re invited to participate in our Fundraiser! Please help support St. David Parish by purchasing raffle tickets.

Tickets will only be sold until November 20th. Baskets will be on display in front of Father Curran Hall this weekend for your perusal.

Voice of Saint Vincent de Paul

The Society is again collecting frozen turkeys and family-sized lasagnas from Nov. 7 to Nov. 22. Please helps us make a family or person’s holiday a little brighter by donating one of the above. They can be placed in the freezer Frederic Ozanam room in Father Curran Hall. Thank you for your Christian charity.

Thanksgiving Food Collection

Due to the Coronavirus, the Interfaith Food Cupboard is asking for Giant supermarket gift cards in $10 and $20 denominations, so that their clients can buy the type of food they need. Envelopes for the gift cards are located in the church vestibule and on the shelf in the handicapped entrance to the church. Please place them in the collection baskets on the Communion rail. Donations can also be made through the parish e-giving program. May God bless you for your continued charity to the poor and needy in the parish area.

St. Vincent de Paul E-Giving Donation

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 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.

Click HERE to view the directives for attending Mass at Saint David.

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.

To read more about the Guidelines of the Archdiocese during the Green Phase, click HERE.

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
