Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant searching for fine pearls. When he finds a pearl of great price, he goes and sells all that he has and buys it.

I ask if you can make an extra sacrificial offering to the parish to help us meet our expenses. I am always grateful for all you do for this great
community of faith. Parish Giving is a useful option and safe to use. Many parishioners are using this option for their Sunday Offering. Please call Sandi and she will gladly assist you.

I am kindly requesting all scheduled adorers to please contact MaryKatherine Bushy as soon as possible and inform her whether you are able to take your
scheduled hour once again. REQUESTING NEW ADORERS: Saint Mary Parish is requesting NEW ADORERS of the Blessed Sacrament. Would you like to spend ONE HOUR per week to adore Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament in our Divine Mercy Perpetual Adoration Chapel?

parishioners and assisting those with special
needs, and collecting the weekly tithing and presenting
these tithing gifts at the Altar. These duties are performed
at all weekend Masses as well as on Holy Days of
Obligation and other special Parish Liturgies. We
especially need help during this restricted green phase of
public Masses. Please consider joining this important
ministry of service. If interested please contact Sandi at

SECOND SUMMER BOOK CLUB Our second virtual summer book club will be held
on Wednesday, August 19th from 7:00 to 8:30
PM via Zoom. The book is A Canticle for
Leibowitz by Walter M. Miller Jr. This speculative
fiction story takes place in the depths of the Utah
desert, long after the Flame Deluge has scoured the earth
clean, where a monk of the Order of Saint Leibowitz has
made a miraculous discovery of holy relics from the life
of the great saint himself. In a terrifying age of darkness
and decay, these artifacts could be the keys to mankind's
salvation. But as the mystery at the core of this
groundbreaking novel unfolds, it is the search itself for
meaning, for truth, and for love, that offers hope for
humanity's rebirth from the ashes. Read the book on your
own and then join us for a discussion. For more
information contact Linda Nichols at 215-256-4941 or
[email protected]. RSVP by August 18thst to
received the Zoom invite.

Eucharistic
Perpetual
Adoration
Saint Mary Parish is blessed to have the Divine Mercy Perpetual Adoration Chapel, which has had 24/7 adoration of the Most Blessed Sacrament for over 25 years. Unfortunately, the chapel had to be closed, and perpetual adoration suspended, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
We are currently trying to resume perpetual adoration in our beautiful chapel. However we cannot resume until we have all hours filled, as the Blessed Sacrament cannot be left alone.
We are looking for volunteers to cover the hours we still have left to fill. They are:
Monday: 1 AM and 3 PM Tuesday: 1 AM Wednesday: 3 AM, 4 AM and 11 PM Thursday: 12 AM Friday: 2 PM and 7 PM Saturday: 2 PM
If you are able to cover one of the above listed hours please contact MaryKatherine: [email protected] or 610-476-4490
In the words of an adorer:
“You are able to talk directly to Jesus and he is there to listen and comfort you. I have been doing adoration for many years and I always walk away feeling renewed and grateful that he is there for me.”
Could you not keep watch for one hour? ~ Mark 14:37
