Welcome to Fall—a time of new beginnings. Now is the time to pursue that nagging thought of wanting to help others but not wanting or able to commit much time. AFF is the answer for a convenient charity. Cooked meals and breakfast bags are prepared in your own home at your convenience and brought to the AFF freezer when you have a number of them. Supplies are provided. For information call Bernadette O’Donnell at 215-379-3448 or AFF at 215-464-2224.

Do you have an immediate prayer need or can you offer the gift of prayer? The ‘People of Love’ Prayer Group meets every Monday evening at 7:30PM in the Cecilian Room. You are always welcome to join us and renew your Spirit.

St. Cecilia Senior Citizens hold their meetings on Thursdays in the Auditorium from 10am to 2pm. New members (ages 50+) are always welcome to join and you can bring a friend. Please note there are no meetings the rest of December. The next meeting will be Thursday, January 2nd. For more info, call our President, Maryann Stroud (215-342-4354) between 9am and 7pm.

Welcome, and thank you for visiting our parish website. Whether you are a parishioner or a visitor may you experience the peace and love of Christ and abundant blessing among us.

Our website is meant to share this good news and much more with parishioners, visitors and prospective parishioners. Please click here for a message from Father Bonner. 

Advent is a time to prepare for the Lord. In this season of Advent, we remember our place in salvation history. We remember that we, who again and again break the covenant established with God, are offered salvation through that same God who came as a baby to live, suffer, die and rise so that we may live forever with him.

As we begin Advent we are asked to reflect on Christ’s "second coming." Not just reflect, but live in ways that show we expect his return and are doing what we must to prepare for him when he does come. If we are people who tend to put things off the gospel has an urgency about it, to stir us to action now.

Our Giving Tree 

The objective of our Giving Tree Project is to provide gifts of love that respond to the practical needs of those less fortunate throughout the City of Philadelphia. We encourage you to choose a tag. On the back of the tag, is the name of the organization and the requested item. Please purchase that item and bring it, UNWRAPPED the weekend of December 14-15.
 
A Special Request has been made this year.  The Sisters of Life are looking for a car seat/stroller. If a group would like to purchase this, they would be most grateful. Thank you for your kindness and generosity. Please contact the Giving Tree Coordinator, Theresa Kuhar 215-694-3709 with any questions or more information.
