Thank you to everyone who attended, and to Brother Mark Lukenda for organizing a fun evening.  Merry Christmas!

November 6th - On Saturday November 6th we hosted the First Saturday Rosary with the Saint Elizabeth Youth Group and the Chester County Assembly 1873, with a focus on promoting patriotism and honoring our Veterans.  We had 20 (6th-8th grade) students join for Rosary, followed by Mass, and then special presentations by former Veterans who shared stories about their experiences and on-going commitment to our Country and our Veterans.  After the talks by our presenters, the Youth Group took part in a card writing campaign to the Veterans at the VA-Coatesville.

Special thanks to Mark Lukenda, Paul Converse, Youth Group Director Megan Carey, Gina Cybator- (VA Volunteer Service Specialist), and everyone else who contributed in making this inaugural event a success!

November 6 -  Members of our Council volunteered once again at the Fall Festival for the Special Olympics of Pennsylvania.  After missing last year due to COVID, it was wonderful to get back and volunteer at the Special Olympics Fall Festival held at Villanova University.  We were placed in the Dougherty Dining Hall where we served at several different serving stations.  We served lunch to 1,000 + Special Olympic athletes, coaches, families and volunteers.  It was a wonderful day for both the athletes as well as the volunteers.  I think it is safe to say that we were as tired as the athletes at the end of our shifts.  The Food Staff at Dougherty was very appreciative of our hard work and remembered us from prior years. After our shift we were able to grab some grub and take in some of the Bocce Ball competition at the Finneran Pavilion.  The Special Olympics will once again be holding their Polar Plunge at Citizens Bank Park on January 29th, 2022 and in Easton on February 19th, 2022. Anyone interested?

The trail runs south from the front entrance of the church, to the covered bridge, and north from the front entrance to the trail marker at the end of the church property.  Volunteers walk and clean the trail once during the months of June, August and October.  Everything needed is provided by the township.

May 27 - Just in time for the Memorial Day weekend we delivered 20 Welcome Home Carts to the VA facility in Coatesville.
