Thank you for continuing to bring meals to our freezer. Just add an extra portion to your family meal, freeze it in the trays we provide, and bring it to the freezer here at St. Cecilia.

During this time while our buildings are closed, we are asking that you please call the rectory at 215-725-1240 before coming.

For additional ways you can help, please call Bernadette O’Donnell at 215-379-3448 or Caring for Friends at 215-464-2224. Learn more at caringforfriends.org.

If you are looking for a way to spread kindness and positivity, you can help Caring for Friends by developing “caring notes” for our snack bags, which are filled with nutritious non-perishable items and handwritten personal notes for isolated, homebound, hungry people in the Philadelphia area. This activity is simple, but very meaningful and can be done from your very own home at any time that’s convenient for you and your family.

All you need is a stack of white or brightly colored note cards and some markers or colored pens, and it’s a great family project for adults and kids of any age – Kids who aren’t able to write notes yet can draw pictures or put stickers on the cards, and adults can write the notes.

1. Purchase/make/find a stack of note cards (either white or brightly-colored) approximately 4” x 6” in size – available online from various companies.
2. Create your note cards and sign them with your first name (or anyone’s first name for that matter) to make it more personal.
3. Mail your completed note cards to Caring for Friends, 12271 Townsend Rd, Philadelphia, PA 19154

A Spiritual Communion Prayer:
My Jesus,
I believe that You
are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things,
and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment
receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen.
