Reaching Out to Those in Need

All of us want to be properly clothed, food on the table, a roof over our heads. But sometimes we stumble and run into road blocks, which can cause us to struggle. Many are homeless this winter season. So we at St. George Church want to help!

We are collecting frozen casseroles for St. John's Hospice in Philadelphia, who provide meals to the homeless, shower facilities, warmth and a place to rest.

Your donations make a difference in someone's life! Please consider offering your support by making a casserole or donating personal items such as socks, gloves, hats, scarves, soap, shampoo, or shaving essentials, and drop them off to our Rectory Office during business hours, or, for non-perishable items, place them in the receptacle at the main front doors of the church. You can make a difference to someone in need this winter season!

Pray for the Homebound

Our home bound parishioners, many who are seniors over 85, need our prayers. Many are lonely, facing serious illness, or are too proud to reach out and ask for assistance. Your prayers our invaluable. If you would like to learn more information about visiting the homebound through out Outreach Ministry, please contact the Rectory Office for details.

Call today at 610-237-1633.

Thank you!

We take this opportunity to thank all of our generous parishioners and friends for your donations over the Advent and Christmas season. Thanks to you, we were able to help many families with food and gifts for Christmas, we provided food for Thanksgiving and Christmas, and we provided a local pet shelter with toys, blankets and food for the beloved animals in need, and blankets, winter clothing, toiletries and casseroles to the homeless at St. John's Hospice. Many thanks to the St. Joseph Knights of Columbus in Collingdale, and Holy Child Academy in Drexel Hill for delivering meals to numerous families who could not otherwise get out or purchase food. Many thanks to the Boy Scouts who collected and dropped off many boxes of food for our parish food cupboard. It is good to see so much kindness in a world so desperately in need of compassion, and we are truly grateful! On behalf of those who benefited from your generosity, thank you, one and all.

We accept canned goods, one-can meals, pasta and sauce, peanut butter and jelly, tuna fish, cereal, dry milk, dessert items, juice, water, coffee, tea bags, dry iced tea mix, boxed stuffing and pasta meals, instant mashed potatoes, pudding and jello.

    • St. George Church is open for private prayer and Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM on Fridays, with Benediction to follow and Mass at 4:00 PM. Please keep in mind that the church is a house of prayer and conversations should be limited to outside of the church doors, thus allowing us to maintain the reverence and respect the Eucharist so deserves. 

  • Parish Religious Education Program

    St. George Religious Education Program has joined together with St. Gabriel Parish in Norwood. Lessons are offfered at the St. Gabriel campus on Wednesdays from 3:30 PM to 4:45 PM. This is for students in Levels 1-8.  If you are new to the program, please contact the Rectory Office for details at 610-237-1633. 


    Our PREP is for children in grades 1-8, and begins in September. PREP runs thru May. Please see our Parish Bulletin for more details or contact the Rectory Office at 610-237-1633. 


    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.

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)
