Nineteenth Sunday
in Ordinary Time
Jesus is always
there for us.
Sometimes, in the midst of life’s storms, we
might feel that Jesus has abandoned us. But Je-
sus walks with us every step along the way.
During stormy times, it’s important to turn to
Jesus because He will give us the grace, guid-
ance and strength we need to endure and make
our way out of every storm.

live within our parish boundaries and

Are you a Parishioner who would make yourself
available to drive someone in your neighborhood
to Mass? You don’t need to commit every week,
maybe every few weeks.
If you want more information, need a ride to Mass or
can volunteer to drive, please call Cheryl Vozzelli
(215-725-1360), who has graciously offered
to coordinate this project.
