NEWS AND EVENTS

PREP-Parish Religious Education Program

At this time, we are praying for new Catechists Aides to assist our Catechist/Teachers in the classrooms during our PREP/CCD school year. Please consider helping us with this most important mission. We pray that some of our parents will be willing to help this coming PREP year. Our goal is to have an Aide in every class on both Sunday mornings and Monday evenings. We are so fortunate that we have 3 new Catechists/Teachers for the coming year. Please consider helping. It is a most rewarding mission, helping our teachers to guide our children as they navigate their faith journey and develop a close, personal relationship with Jesus. We ask for your prayers and discernment. You and your families are always in our prayers.

Advocates for Homeless and Those in Need
They (www.AHTN.org) are looking for churches to join their Community Meal Program, where a congregation provides a hot meal once a month to anyone in need (typically 20-40 people). ABVM has begun the process of gathering information and finding volunteers who might be willing to get involved in some way. If you, or someone you know, might be interested and want to be kept informed as the process unfolds, please contact Rose Jacobs RosemarieJacobs64@gmail.com, 215-219-9047.

E-Giving and Raise Right
As explained in the Finance Council update delivered at all the Masses on the weekend of June 6th and 7th, it would really benefit the Parish if all Parishioners would consider switching to E-Giving and signing up for the Raise Right Program. If you are interested in how to do that, please contact the Finance Council by way of an email addressed to the Parish email address info.abvm@gmail.com along with the following information:

Attn: ABVM Finance Council I am interested in finding out more information about: E-Giving _____ Raise Right Program _______ Your name: Your email address:

Caring for Friends

Summer is just beginning, and our meal supply is getting low. We are temporarily halting meal production in our commercial kitchen for updates. This will further reduce our meal supply. If you have extra meals in your freezer, please bring them to church and place them in the CFF freezer in our parish kitchen. Our friends need these meals all year round and the summer months can be challenging. Please consider taking a few extra trays and sharing your dinners with our isolated homebound friends.
