Dear Friends, As we now evaluate the reopening of our parish last Sunday, we find that we did so many things right and we are very proud! However, we also fell short for some of you with respect to comfort with seating reservations and virtual downloads. Therefore, to make things even easier - and safer - we have added an optional Seat Reservation System to our website’s homepage for every Mass...

Yesterday, I posted by latest weekly devotion, Franciscan Moments @ Saint Miriam. It was on prayer and intent. I was reminded of how important we are to each other and to the gift that God has given us in Saint Miriam. This past Sunday, we opened our doors for the first time publicly in almost 4 months. Think of it, almost 120 days since we last were able to open. Those who came were greeted by...

We realize that some people may not be ready to come back to in-person gatherings. That's why we created an entire list of virtual worship, devotional, small group and Mass celebration opportunities!

It draws out t...

Dear Friends, Not so long ago, in 2018, an article appeared in the New Your Times that featured the Kensington section of Philadelphia. The article, entitled, "Trapped by the 'Walmart of Heroin': A Philadelphia neighborhood is the largest open-air narcotics market for heroin on the East Coast. Addicts come from all over, and many never leave" featured the haunting image of drug users under a br...

Dear Friends, Another update is here! We are so excited to announce that we are ahead of schedule on the renovations of our beautiful Sanctuary, which is now on its way to being even more stunning! And, while I know there is some anxiety with respect to the pews, it was interesting that God led us to this planning well in advance of the COVID-19 Pandemic. This has afforded us the ability to reo...
