The Little Sisters of the Poor are visiting us this
weekend appealing for your financial assistance to
support their work of caring for the elderly poor.
On a cold wintry night in 1839, God called St.
Jeanne Jugan through the person of Anne Chauvin,
a poor elderly blind and partially paralyzed beggar.
It was through Jeanne’s selfless and magnanimous
gesture of carrying the old woman home, placing
her into her own bed that the seed of our Hospitalier
mission to the elderly poor was born.
Pray for the Deceased
Edward Cyzewski
Jacques Mauch
Here in Philadelphia for 143 years the Little Sisters
have continued to welcome thousands of elderly,
serving them in love with respect and dignity until
death as if they were Jesus Himself. His Providential care provides for us “tangibly” through your
faithful and generous assistance.
May their souls and all the souls of the faithful
departed, through the mercy of God, rest in
peace. Amen.
Prayer for Peace
Donations may be mailed to:
Little Sisters of the Poor Holy Family Home
5300 Chester Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19143
For peace in the world and an end
to terrorism and all war, we pray to
the Lord.
For the protection of Christians in the Middle
East, and for the safety of our military serving all
over the world, we pray to the Lord.
World Mission
Sunday
All Saints Day (November 1st) is not a
holyday of obligation this year because it
falls on a Saturday. Mass on Saturday
morning will be at 8 am.
Thank you for your generous response to the Society for the Propagation of the Faith on World
Mission Sunday last weekend.

Being A Christian
Being a Christian is like being a pumpkin.
God lifts you up, takes you in and washes all
the dirt off you, opens you
up, reaches deep inside and
scoops out all the yucky
stuff—including the seeds of
doubt, hate, greed, etc. Then
He carves you a new smiling
face and puts His light inside you to shine
for all the world to see. Happy Halloween!
We plan on making this
year’s event as successful as
last year and we are requesting assistance from the parish.
Join us, it’s really a fun
event, so get involved!
