Haiti News: We have heard from our sister parish in Haiti. The damage did not reach there! Refugees from Port-au-Prince have been arriving in their area - the central plateau. The parish is located in Los Palis, near Hinche, some miles to the northeast of Port-au-Prince.

At church we had collections for disaster relief in Haiti on the weekends of January 16 & 17 and January 23 & 24. The funds went to Catholic Relief Services. CRS is now at work in Haiti. www.crs.org.

We are planning some fundraising events for our sister parish: 

Benefit Dinner - February 23 - tickets on sale at the rectory beginning Monday, February 8

We also plan to have a sale of Haitian crafts in April (tentatively scheduled for April 24 & 25). This will benefit Haiti in two ways: the craftspeople will receive payment and the profits from the sale will go to our sister parish. We are continuing the collection of tabs from aluminum cans—the collections jars are in church.

Cardinal Justin Rigali announces the Year of the Priest: (June 19, 2009 - June 19, 2010)

With these words, holy priests for a holy people, I am pleased to announce the observance of the Year of the Priest the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.

Our Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI, has called for this year of grace for the whole Church as a new opportunity for priests to grow in holiness and live more fully united to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and for all the members of the Church to recall the essential role of priests among us and in society.

As Archbishop of Philadelphia, I invite everyone in the Archdiocese, all priests and all the faithful, in solidarity with our Holy Father, to observe the Year of the Priest as a splendid opportunity to reflect on the gift of the priesthood of Jesus shared with his priests. This gift belongs to the whole Church and is for the whole Church. I ask of you, sharers and benefactors of this gift from Jesus, to participate wholeheartedly in this Year of the Priest here in Philadelphia.

May our observance of this Year of the Priest truly provide the Archdiocese of Philadelphia with holy priests for a holy people!
