FAITH FORMATION
Cross Train Your Faith
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!
Our programs resume on Wednesday,
January 7 with the movie “Heaven is for
Real”.
Heaven is for Real is the true story of
Colton Burpo, a four-year old son of a small town Ne-
braska pastor, who experienced heaven during emergency
appendectomy surgery. His family was overjoyed at his
miraculous survival. However, they were not expecting
the story that emerged in the following months – a story
as beautiful as it was extraordinary, detailing the boy’s
trip to heaven and back.
“Cross Train Your Faith” is part of the Adult Faith
Formation Program here at Queen where we provide pro-
grams of study and present information of Catholic learn-
ing for the adults of Our Parish Family.
If you have suggestions for future programs please let us
know by contacting John Murray in the Parish Center at
215-945-0215.
PARISH LIFE/ACTIVITIES
Host a Family during the World Meeting of Families!
Many people have asked, "How can I help with the World
Meeting of Families in Philadelphia 2015?" One way is
to Host a Family, since the number of visitors expected
greatly exceeds the number of hotel rooms in the region.
Homestay, a Dublin company, works every day to match
host families with visitors using an online system. They
created a special online host family site just for WMOF
2015. Parishioners, school families, and others can easily
sign up online to be host families. Look for a flyer at the
entrance of church. For more information, visit
www.worldmeeting2015. org under Host a Family, or
h t t p : / / b i t . l y / H o s t A F a m i l y . P l e a s e e m a i l
[email protected] if you have any questions
about Homestay.
Social Media Update:
You asked and we got it for you! We now have Facebook
and Twitter pages in Spanish and Italian. You can follow
the World Meeting in Spanish on Twitter @WMF2015ES
or Italian @WMF2015IT. Check out our Spanish Face-
