This past Sunday, May 5, was the day of the Broad Street Run. It was a rainy gloomy Sunday. Our Sunday Mass attendance was half of what it has been over the past few months. Saint John’s Mass attendance is very sensitive to events happening in the City. Large conventions bring people to our congregation. Parades and races depress our Mass numbers. One of our key missions is to serve the tourist and visitor population.
Please be extra generous to Saint John’s this week if you were not able to join us for Mass last Sunday.
To make online donations please visit our Donation section.
TV Mass
Saint John’s parishioners have committed to be the congregation and choir for two TV Masses to be taped on June 2 in the afternoon for broadcast later in the summer. Father Tom will be the presider. We invite our parishioners to join us. For information, please contact Father Tom.
Young Adults Event
Our next event is Sunday, May 19 after the 6 PM Mass. It is dinner, drinks and “stump the priest” the opportunity to ask questions you’ve always wondered about, but haven’t asked. Mark your calendars.
MANNA food collection
During the month of May, we will have Catholic Charities food bags available in church. You are invited to take a bag home and to fill it with non-perishable foods (canned foods, pasta, sauce, etc.) and to bring it to Saint John’s. All food will be donated to the Padre Pio Prayer Center food pantry in Frankford.
Mother Love
We Capuchins have republished the classic prayer book for mothers. We have a few copies available for sale ($30) in our office gift shop.
