Friends,

Last week in our prayers at Mass we remembered Msgr. Bill

Kaufman. Many of you, after Mass, came up to me with

questions and concerns. Father Kaufman was pastor here at

Resurrection for 11 years. As many of you can remember he

was battling prostate cancer during his time as pastor. Well,

unfortunately, we have learned that his cancer has returned.

Please keep him in your prayers as he undergoes treatment.

Here is his mailing address in case you would like to send him

a note of encouragement:

Msgr. William Kaufman

St. Pius X Rectory

220 S. Lawrence Rd.

Broomall PA 19008

During these summer months we will be working on a few

physical improvements around the parish campus. I will keep

you informed as we begin. We will also be forming a parish

council over the summer. We will be seeking out about 12

people to act as a board of advisors for our parish. We will

discuss our vision and plan of what kind of parish we want to

be. I will be seeking out many of our generous younger parish-

ioners who can bring to the table some fresh ideas and creative

ways to renew and refocus our parish mission. If you have a

young parishioner in mind, who you feel would be great

serving on our council, please let me or one of our staff know.

It will be awesome to have our next generation take up the

challenge. Great things are happening, stay tuned.

+Father Jim

Please pray for all

sick and infirmed.

Trip To Italy with Father Jim November 4th - 14th 2018

Group trips usually have you running and rushing through a

whirlwind of sites at such a fast pace that it leaves you forgetting almost everything. Our Trip is uniquely different! We have a trip designed to truly take-in and experience Italy. We stay only in 3 luxury hotels the entire time. We get to know the local flavors by taking our time. We have daily mass, meals and personal guides throughout. We will see so much but at a leisurely pace instead of rushing. Travel with me and another fun priest, Father Matt Tralies, for the trip of a life-time. For information about our itinerary, pricing, and registration, contact Susan from Select Tours at 800-842-4842 or susan@select-intl.com, or visit www.selectinternationaltours.com. Or simply call me or stop by the rectory for a brochure.

We are in need of additional lectors for all week-

end Masses, especially at our 12 noon Mass. If

you are interested in serving in this important

ministry, please contact Deacon Friel either by

e-mail at dfriel@resurrectphila.org or by calling

the rectory at 215-745-3211. Thanks to all who donated food for our local pantry.

Catholic Social Services appreciated all of donations

and said that they will go a long way. Thank you to our

Knights of Columbus who ran the food collection. If

you are interested in joining the Knights of Columbus

please email: FatherRyanCouncil@gmail.com

Connecting with God’s Creative Gifts, Thursday, July 12th @ 7:00PM

If you would like to attend, please fill out the form below and drop in collection basket or at

the rectory.
