Thank you!

Thank you to the hundreds of volunteers who came out on a bitterly cold morning to join us for our Martin Luther King Day Morning of Service.
Volunteers of all ages made over 600 cheese sandwiches for the Patrician Society in Norristown; decorated T-shirts for children attending Camp Dreamcatcher and cards for our deployed military and veterans; and assembled hygiene bags for the homeless and for residents of local recovery houses and treat bags for the Radnor and Lower Merion Police Departments.

INFORMATION

ABOUT US

Parishes are called to reach out to the hurting, the poor and the vulnerable in our midst in concrete acts of charity. Just as the gospel tells us our lives will be judged by our response to the 'least of them' so too our parishes should be measured by our help for the hungry, the homeless, the troubled, and the alienated in our own community and beyond"
(U.S. Catholic Bishops, Communities of Salt and Light)

The scriptural call to love our brothers and sisters is clear. Scripture messages represent not just a mandate to perform certain acts, but a prescription for living a Christian life. They challenge each of us, individually and as a community, to alter our lives so that they are truly marked by Christ's spirit of love and compassion.

The outreach ministries strengthen our parish and put faith into action. These ministries put names and faces on issues; they strengthen our prayer, touch our families, and give direction and urgency to our efforts to work for greater justice. For more information on any of these ministries please contact Cathy Van Kula service@stvparish.org

Provide an evening meal during the week the families are at St. Thomas of Villanova.
Act as an evening host for a three-hour period in the evening.
Spend the night so that you are available to assist with any problems that arise.
Help setup and dismantle the rooms, move the guests, or wash linen.

Teams of two or more people usually carry out all of these functions, so you won’t be by yourself.
