Saint Alphonsus Parish

In the spirit of “New Year, New You,” the Health and Wellness Ministry invites you to a special program titled “Change Your Diet, Change Your Life” on Thursday, April 24, 2025, at 6:00 p.m. in the Narthex. This informative session will address the growing health concerns many face today, including rampant hypertension, the prevalence of heart disease—the leading cause of death for both men and women—and the alarming statistic that 40% of adults and half of those over 65 have prediabetes. Attendees will learn how food choices may influence how we age, discover simple lifestyle changes that can improve both the length and quality of life, and explore strategies for lowering blood sugar and “bad” cholesterol. The program will also cover natural ways to manage blood pressure (yes, beyond giving up potato chips!) and offer guidance on how to avoid becoming a statistic—or how to take action if you already are. Don’t miss this valuable opportunity to invest in your health. To reserve your spot, contact the Rectory Office at [email protected] or call 215-646-4600.

Did you miss our Lenten Penance Service? We will have opportunities for confession this upcoming Wednesday, April 16th, from 4:00PM to 6:00PM, Good Friday, April 18th, from 11:00AM to 1:00PM, and Holy Saturday, April 19th, from 11:00AM to 1:00PM.

Join us on April 25th from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM in the Parish Hall! Feel free to bring chairs, sleeping bags, blankets, and snacks. Popcorn and water will be provided for the movie. Families with children of all ages are welcome! If your children are school-age, feel free to have some in the Narthex with other parents. For families with younger children, we ask that at least one parent stays in the Parish Hall. We are asking all parents to register through our signup found by clicking the title above. For any questions please contact the Rectory Office at (215)-646-4600.

Please join us on Monday, April 28th as we discuss My Father’s House (Joseph O’Connor). This novel is based on a true story and is first in the Rome Escape Line Trilogy. Set in 1940’s Rome, Monsignor O’Flaherty and a band of friends risk their lives to save victims of the Gestapo’s violence. Our meeting is located in the Parish Hall and begins promptly at 7:00 pm, but please feel free to come early for a chat. For more details, contact Joan Wolff at [email protected]. Until then, happy reading!
