If you or someone you know would be interested in volunteering as a classroom aide in our Religious Education Program, we are still in need of a couple aides on Wednesday afternoons (4:45-6:00pm).  It is a great way to participate in the parish's Stewardship Program.  So think about it yourself, or ask an older sibling, grandparent, neighbor, etc.  Contact, Tara Penza at
​610-525-4801, or rel.ed@stvparish.org
