Revised Procedure
As discussed during the September 1 Liturgy Board meeting, our parish is going to provide a Communion station for our parishioners who want to receive Holy Communion on the tongue. Starting on September 20, an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion will be stationed at the front of the church on the Blessed Mother side and will serve the communicants who choose to receive on the tongue. Those communicants who choose to receive in the hand will go to either the priest (who will be in front on the St. Joseph side) or to the deacon (who will be at the break near the Baptismal font). For now, communicants who choose to receive on the tongue are asked to come to the priest after other communicants have received.

RCIA, Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults

RCIA is the process by which persons enter the Catholic Church. This program is designed for those who have never been baptized, those who were baptized in another faith tradition, and those who were baptized Catholic but never completed the sacraments of initiation (First Eucharist and/or Confirmation). If you, or someone you know, is interested in entering RCIA this year, or have questions about the process, please contact Deacon Eric at the Rectory at 215.357.1221 Ext. 24 or deaconeric.abvm@gmail.com. Sessions are tentatively set to begin in the fall according to a schedule to be announced at a later date.
