Join us on Saturday, March 2, 2024 for our Lenten Sandwich Outreach. We will be making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for the homeless and those in need of a meal in our local area. We will include a sandwich, potato chips, fruit snacks and water/juice box in each brown bag. Once supplies are used, we will then deliver to our destination for distribution the same day. Come to St. George Parish Hall at 9:00 AM if you would like to assist us. Many hands make light work! This is an excellent service opportunity for our young students.

This 7-week study is being used in parishes throughout the county for the Year of Parish Revival. Each session is full of powerful content and testimonies. It will be a great opportunity to grow in community and explore the richness of our Eucharistic faith. We would love for you to join us! The study will be held in the convent on Wednesday evenings at 7:30 PM beginning on February 21 and continuing through April 3. If you have any questions, please email tricia.trochlil@gmail.com.

Masks are optional.

    Children need religious education in their lives to help them know God and to remain grounded in their faith, which will sustain them through their lifetime. Our ultimate goal in catechesis is to lead the children to a relationship with Jesus where they will find hope, faith and love and complete the Sacraments of Initiation. 


    The RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) program is for older students and adults. These sessions are held on Thursday evenings at 6:30 PM in St. George Convent. If you are an adult and did not complete your sacraments, if you were never baptized Catholic, or if you would like to learn more about the Catholic faith, please contact Sister Lorraine Muglie, SSJ, Adult Faith Coordinator, for more details. 

  • More Ways You Can Help Parish Support Initiative

    St. Paul wrote, “May the eyes of your hearts be enlightened, that you may know what is the hope that belongs to his call.” In difficult times, we must remain hopeful and listen to God’s call. We must always put our faith into action as Jesus reminded his disciples, “I am with you always, until the end of age.”

     

    If you are able, please support Saint George Parish through the Parish Support Initiative. This initiative is made possible through a partnership with The Catholic Foundation of Greater Philadelphia.


    Visit www.SupportMyParish.org and select Saint George Parish from the drop-down menu. Your support will ensure that we can continue our work through these uncertain times.

  • Mass Cards

    If you would like to schedule a Mass for a deceased loved one or friend, please call the Rectory Office at 610-237-1633. We will schedule it for you and then upon receipt of your check, we will mail the card out to you. If you need it right away, please call the Rectory so that we can prepare it ahead of time.

And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age."
Matthew 28: 18-20 (RSV-CE)
