LOOKING AHEAD TO Catholic Charities Appeal – February 8th Kickoff Message from Most Reverend Charles J. Chaput “Hope, liken Faith, is a gift from God. The poor, the sick, the homeless, the vulnerable can’t give themselves hope. But, as a disciple of Jesus Christ, you can. The 2015 Catholic Charities Appeal is a wonderful opportunity to share your blessings with the least fortunate among us. …Your past generosity gives me great confidence that Christ will once again bestow His grace on our community of Faith and that your donation to the 2015 Catholic Charities Appeal, motivated by Love, may continue to give Hope.” GRASSO Hours: Monday - Thursday 8:30 - 8:00 Friday 8:30 - 7:00 Saturday 9:00 - 2:00 Sunday Closed Funeral Home Buddy Dougherty Licensed Funeral Director Parishioner call: 267.997.3483 or email: [email protected] • Traditional Burials • Pre-Planned Funerals • Cremation Services 2036 South 3rd Street (Corner of 3rd & Snyder Ave.) Phone 215.468.2111 • Fax 215.468.0387 Combining Todays Knowledge With Yestrdays Service JOSEPH McKENNA PLUMBING & HEATING Servicing Philly Neighborhoods for Over 20 Years 215-551-8533 GrassoFuneralHome.net Broad & Shunk Streets RMP 4290 Joe McKenna, Parish Member Licensed & Insured Free Estimates The Leading Vascular Center of Excellence in the Delaware Valley Tired leg(s) or foot wounds that won’t heal?
