Dear Parish Family, WELCOME BACK! I sincerely welcome back all
of our parishioners and friends who are physically with us today
and to all those joining us virtually. If there is anything I can
do for you, please do not hesitate to contact me by phone or email.
Please be assured of my love and prayers for each of you!
CONGRATULATIONS: Congratulations and Prayerful best wishes to
our young parishioners who celebrated their First Holy Communion
this weekend. As you know their First Holy Communion was postponed
this year due to the pandemic. In a very special way I thank their
parents,
teachers/catechists, and our entire parish family as you all
helped in their Religious formation. May these children always
hunger for Jesus, the Bread of Life.
BONANZA RAFFLE and OKTOBERFEST: On Saturday, October 24
beginning at 5 PM until 8 PM Saint Mary Parish will be hosting our
1st Oktoberfest in conjunction with our $10,000
Bonanza Raffle Drawing! Please join us for this Autumn
Celebration. Dinner will only be $10. Drinks and other specialty
items of food will be sold separately. Please log onto our website
concerning our "curbside or sit under the tent" Oktoberfest. Did
you buy/sell your Bonanza Raffle? All extra tickets are at the
entrances of our church or at the Parish Office Center. If you can
buy or sell two tickets that will be great. Each ticket costs $100.
Top Prize: $10,000, Second Prize: $5,000, and Third Prize: $2,500.
There will be Seller Prizes for each category. The Raffle will be
drawn outdoors by our new patio adjacent to the Parish Office
Center. Return your ticket stub and payment marked "Bonanza Raffle"

Center.
40 HOURS DEVOTIONS: Saint Mary Parish will host our Annual Forty
Hours Eucharistic Devotions on Sunday, October 25, Monday, October

mark your calendars. Father Giardini will hear confessions on
Sunday and Monday evening from 6 PM until 6:55 PM. Confessions will
not be heard on Tuesday evening.
A MEMORIAL GIFT (Father Sam Kelly): People have inquired about a
gift in memory of our 5th Pastor, Father Sam Kelly. We are in need
of a Holy Water font for our Chapel. It will be beautiful and will
be mounted to the wall as you enter the chapel. If you desire to
make a gift in memory of
Father Kelly, please put your donation in an envelope and mark,
"In memory of Father Kelly". Thus every time we enter the chapel to
bless ourselves, we will “say a little prayer for you", Father
Kelly.

Parish. During this pandemic we are struggling to make our weekly
bills. With Electronic Giving your donation
comes to the parish each week regardless if you are present with
us. With our busy schedules we can be visiting relatives and
friends, or may be under the weather on any particular Sunday/Holy
Day, however, your donation will always make it to our shared home:
Saint Mary Church. Thanks! Please contact Sandi at the Parish
Office Center if you have any questions.

PERPETUAL EUCHARISTIC ADORATION A scheduled adorer's testimony
from the Night Division (12:00AM-5:00AM): ‘I was getting ready for
bed, thinking of my night holy hour, and was complaining to myself
about losing sleep. I sensed God saying to me, “If you could see
Jesus
in person at the Chapel, would you be complaining?” I thought
“No. Ok, I get it. He is there in Person! Help my faith Lord!” And
I counted my blessings that I am able to spend that quiet time with
my Savior!’ We have many Night Open Hours; please prayerfully
consider signing up. Open Hours: Sun 11:00PM; Mon 1:00AM; Tues
1:00AM; Wed 3:00AM, 9:00pm & 11:00pm; and Thurs 12:00AM.

Due to the current situation, there will be no monthly pantry
collection. However, donations can be dropped off during the week
under the overhang of Hedge Hall. Please be as generous as you are
able since there will be no monthly collection and the need is
great! The monies collected in the poor boxes throughout Saint Mary
Church go directly to the Saint Vincent de Paul Society to assist
their clients who are in need.

The Parish Debt represents invoices that we owe to the
Archdiocese of Philadelphia. These invoices are for assessments,
insurance, property and liability, etc. incurred between the years
of 2005 – 2012. The Archdiocese has been very gracious to cover
these invoices during a time when we could not afford to do so. By
using your Parish Debt (Gold) Envelope, you are helping our parish
pay the obligation we owe to the Archdiocese. From 2013 to today we
are current on all our Archdiocesan invoices. Thank you for your
kind generosity.
PLANNED GIVING: All parishioners and friends of Saint Mary
Church are kindly asked to include Saint Mary Parish in their will
and estate planning. We kindly thank you in advance for remembering
this great community of faith in your will so its mission and
ministry may continue in the years ahead.
All of our parishioners are invited to use our new option of
electronic funds transfer by logging onto our website and clicking
‘PARISH GIVING’.
