Presentation B.V.M. Parish - Philadelphia Area Catholic Church

Upcoming Church Events

Details - Join our parish family as we begin this most Holy Week of the year. Masses are Saturday evening at 5:15 PM; Sunday morning at 7:30, 9:30 and 11:30 AM.

Details - Tonight we celebrate the great gifts of the Sacraments of the Eucharist and Holy Orders. Through the ministry of His priests Jesus gathers the faithful at the altar of sacrifice in order to stand with Him in the one and only act of perfect worship. Through this sacrament we are brought once again to Calvary to intercede with Jesus for the world and to be nourished by the Body and Blood of Jesus.

Details - The world watches for the Resurrection. At Mass we gather to hear the Scriptures proclaim the deeds of God, from the dawning of creation, to ready the world for the Resurrection of Jesus and our incorporation into the new life that only Jesus can bring. Tonight we are reminded that everyone can share in this promise - no one is excluded by God!

Details - Masses for today are at 7:30, 9:30 and 11:30 AM. The Church celebrates the Resurrection of Jesus and our sharing in this new life. Jesus has risen, victorious over all that sin can inflict on Him. He carried the sins of humanity, and their consequences, to the grave and rose free of the evil. He has become the source of new, everlasting life for all. Through Baptism we have be made sharers in this victory!

Details - Information for tickets are available at through PresentationBVM school web site.

Details - Our parish will celebrate the progress of our children in theie growth as members of the Mystical Body of Christ. Our children will take another step toward full incorporation in the Church as they participate more fully at Mass by the first reception of the Body and Blood of Jesus. We are happy for them and their families. We pray that the children will grow closer to their Divine Lord through the celebration of Mass each Sunday with their familes and the Church.

Details - The parish will gather to honor the Mother of Jesus tonight. Mary has always been the first example of a perfect disciple of Jesus. We can confidently look at Mary to imitate the kind of strength and faithfulness needed to follow Jesus in the course of our lives. Jesus gave her to us as our mother. All mothers take great pains to guide their children along the rights paths. Mary will always guide us on the path that leads to Jesus and everlasting life with God.

Details - Each year this is a great opportunity to find special bargains and help the Church and, ultimately, the poor. Drop off items for the sale on Monday and Tuesday at the hall from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM.

Details - Throughout the year our school children learn music as part of their course of studies. Tonight they will offer the results of that study. Each year we have had a wonderful show of the talents of our children at Cardinal Dougherty auditorium. Plan to join us for an enjoyable evening. There is no charge.

Details - The feast of Corpus Christi is an opportunity to proclaim publically that we believe in the miracle of Transubstantion - that bread and wine have become the real Body and Blood of Jesus. Plan to join other parishioners that afternoon as we bring the Blessed Sacrament through our neighborhood and offer a clear witness to the Real Presence of Jesus.
