Saint Alphonsus Parish

The Rectory office will be running on a limited schedule/staff this week. Please call 215-646-4600 in advance of visiting. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Join us for Adoration every Wednesday following the 9:00 AM Mass, until Benediction at 6:00P M. All are invited to come spend time with Our Lord, present in the Blessed Sacrament! We have committed adorers for each hour our Lord is exposed, so others may freely come and go for any length of time. Materials to assist your prayer time can be found in the Chapel; please feel free to stop in!

The 2023 Mass Book will open Tuesday, September 20th for dates between January 1st and June 30th!

You’re invited to join our Adult or Junior Choir! As our Summer break comes to an end, the choral ensemble groups of the Saint Alphonsus Music Ministry will soon resume their participation in our weekly Mass liturgies.  Both our long-existing Adult Choir and recently formed Junior Choir are looking for new members to lead us in song! Please contact Frank Stieber by email at [email protected], or by phone at (215)542-8319, if you or your children have an interest in becoming part of our already excellent group of choristers!

Please join The Saint Alphonsus Book Club on Monday, September 26th as we discuss The Last Exiles by Ann Shin. This is a novel about North Korea and abiding love against all odds. Our meeting starts promptly at 6:30 pm, but all are welcome to arrive at 6:15 for a quick chat before we begin our discussion. Come armed with questions and comments. Need to know more? Contact Joan Wolff at [email protected] Until then, happy reading!

WWP Women’s Bible studies combine personal study with small group discussion, linking our everyday challenges to the solutions given to us through the teachings of Christ and the Catholic Church.
