The CHURCH DÉCOR COMMITTEE is looking for
folks who like to work with flowers/plants, who are
available on some Fridays or Saturdays, who enjoy working as part of a team, and who wish to
keep St. Catherine's looking beautiful during all of
the liturgical seasons.
We are not professional flower people (we just enjoy working
with them). You do not have to be available every week (we
take turns, as our schedules permit). We enjoy preparing
the bouquets for the main altar, the Narthex, and the Statues. If
you have any questions...if you have any interest…please call
Diane Calvin (215-370-2699).
Would you like to share your garden blooms?? We have
vases just waiting at the church to be filled with the sweet
smells of your green thumb success! Please call Diane at the
number above if you would like to arrange to drop off any fresh
cut flowers for the congregation to enjoy !

Volleyball Clinics For All Ages-Region 11 CYO is hosting volleyball clinics in May at Keith Valley Middle

are welcome to stay and watch or participate) and boys and girls in grades 5-8 are invited to attend from

Christians in the Middle East continue to face persecution
and extinction simply for their belief in Jesus Christ. Their
fate, however has been ignored By the secular media. The
Knights of Columbus will be selling “Solidarity Crosses”
to help raise funds for their relief. These crosses are crafted by
Christians in the Holy Land. These crosses are identical to the cross
pictured on the prayer card in the pews that we have been praying
for the last few weeks. The cost is $10 of which $5 will be donated to
the Christian Refugee Relief Fund. Thank you for helping the
Knights of Columbus to stand in Solidarity with our persecuted brothers and sisters by buying one or more of these “Solidarity Crosses.
More information to follow shortly.
