After the performance, all are invited to join us inside the school gym, where a Christmas party will take place. During the party, you can take part in games as well as crafts. We also hear a special guest will take a break from up North for some pictures.

MASS with the SACRAMENT of the ANOINTING OF THE SICK
On Saturday, December 3, at 4:30 P.M. we will celebrate our annual Mass with the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick. At this liturgy (which will be celebrated at our regular 4:30 Saturday vigil Mass) we will offer the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick to all those who should or would like to receive it, including the seriously ill, the chronically ill, those anticipating surgery or serious medical procedures, the elderly, and those struggling with any serious physical or mental conditions.
Please pass the word to anyone who should be anointed so that they can attend. We would like our homebound parishioners, who aren’t able to regularly attend Sunday Mass, to come to this special celebration, if at all possible. If you might be able to assist us in transporting these good folks to church for this special liturgy, please call the rectory as soon as possible so that we can arrange for you to transport someone. -
SOLEMN TRIDUUM in honor of OUR LADY of the MIRACULOUS MEDAL
On Monday, December 5, Tuesday, December 6, and Wednesday, December 7, we will be celebrating a Solemn Triduum in Honor of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal. The Miraculous Medal Novena has a rich tradition in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia since the Central Association and Shrine to the Miraculous Medal is located in the Germantown section of the city. Here at Saint Timothy’s, we pray the Novena prayers every Saturday morning at the end of the 8:30 Mass. Our Solemn Triduum in December is a perfect way for us to prepare for the great feast of Our Lady’s Immaculate Conception on December 8 and is a beautiful way for us to focus on Mary during the season of Advent.
Each evening of the Triduum at 7:00 we will pray the Novena Prayers, have a homily, and Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament. At the end of each evening’s devotions, you will also have the opportunity to venerate the relic of Saint Catherine Laboure, the great saint to whom the Miraculous Medal was revealed by Our Lady herself. Please join us, and bring a friend!
