An Event Especially for Inactive Catholics
We all have family members, friends and co-workers who were baptized Catholic but are no longer practicing their faith. On Oct 28, 29 and 30 at 7 PM, Our Lady of Perpetual Help parish in Morton will be hosting the Catholic evangelist, Tim Francis. This event is designed especially for inactive Catholics to help them re-consider their Catholic Faith. Consider inviting your loved ones! Here are the details:Science Tests Faith event
From altar boy to party boy, from non-denominational mega church to the Roman Catholic Church, dynamic Lay Evangelist Tim Francis shares the journey that brought him back to the Church with video footage from a documentary examining amazing miracles occurring in the Church today that ultimately convicted him of the Truths of our faith. Tim’s presentation is impacting practicing, lukewarm, and fallen away Catholics of all ages in churches across the country.

Confession survey results...
Over the last two months, we've been asking local Catholics to fill out a short survey about when is the best time to offer Confessions to enable you to get there more often. This was in response to come very troubling statistics about the practice of sacramental confession here in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. We received over 600 responses to the survey and, as promised, we are sharing the results with you!Survey results are posted here: phillyevang.org/confession
It is our hope that this information will be helpful to our parishes in discerning the question of how to encourage more frequent Confession in our communities and to make this Sacrament more accessible to more people. For full details about this initiative and Confession resources, visit phillyevang.org/confession.
Did you miss the survey? There's still time to fill it out - the survey results posted will update in real time. Take the survey: English / Español

Join us for an evening of reflection on the mission of the laity in times of ecclesial crisis and learn what you can do to cooperate with Christ’s action to purify and heal His Church.
