Altar Servers
All children of the parish beginning with fifth grade are eligible to become Altar Servers, the only requirements being the completion of a formal training program and a willingness to be of service at the Altar of the Lord.
Serving at the Altar is a special privilege. It allows you to be close to the altar, to carry the cross, to carry the light of Christ, to wear the robe of baptism, to hold the book of prayers, and to "swing the thing that makes the smoke" (the thurible). How wonderful it is to serve the Lord!
Cantor
Our cantors provide leadership for congregational singing at our Sunday Masses and special liturgies. They assist in helping the congregation to learn new hymns and they are responsible for preparing the Responsorial Psalm each week. The cantor works in collaboration with the music director. A good cantor will have knowledge of hymns, an interest in liturgy, a pleasant voice, and a friendly disposition. Ability to read music is desired, but not required. Training is provided. Call Nancy Strang, 215-674-8162.
Carnival
The carnival is not only vital to the financial health of our parish, but also gives opportunities to socialize with members of your parish family, and get to know the people you see at Sunday Mass and school functions. FAMILY NIGHTS - TUESDAY and THURSDAY; BINGO & CASINO - rain or shine nightly during CARNIVAL week. FOOD - Parish favorites (pizza, hot dogs, pretzels and fries) will be available.

Saint Gianna

She represents all mothers... "
