Anyone requesting a baptism must be registered for at least 3 months and actively attending Church each week.

3 Marriages Anyone who wishes to be married at Our Lady of Peace Parish, is asked to contact at least six months before the desired date to schedule an appointment. Couples must attend a marriage prep program called Pre-Cana. The Catholic Church law ordinarily requires baptized Roman Catholics to marry before a priest or deacon. Unless they requested and received a dispensation from canonical form, Catholics who exchange marriage vows in the presence of only ministers from other religious traditions or authorized civic officials are not considered validly married in the eyes of the Catholic Church. Later, those couples may seek to have their union officially recognized by the Church. In technical Church terms, this is known as convalidation of a marriage. If you need more information, please call the rectory. Anointing of the Sick... We will no longer have anointing of the sick on a monthly basis. We will have an annual anointing of the sick mass in May, details to follow. Our Eucharistic s also minister communion to those sick members on Sundays. In accordance with the Privacy Act, a family member must provide the name of their family member who is unable to attend weekly Mass or is considered a shut in to the office/rectory. Please call the parish office at and provide the names, address and any contact information of your family member. Thank you. We Pray for...

7 EITC 1.) NOTRE DAME DE LOURDES SPIRIT DAY AT THE JUNCTION Stop by The Junction at 605 MacDade Boulevard to support Notre Dame de Lourdes Parish School. The school will receive 20% off sales for the day! Come after school for a delicious snack of ice cream or come after the Spring Show at Nelson Hall. 2.) REDIRECT YOUR PA TAX DOLLARS TO CATHOLIC EDUCATION IN DELAWARE COUNTY Looking to redirect your PA tax dollars to Catholic education in Delaware County while receiving a 90% PA tax credit? We have an opportunity open to Notre Dame de Lourdes school families, their friends and family members, and Our Lady of Peace parishioners and their friends and families. Pennsylvania offers education tax credits know as the Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) or the Opportunity Scholarship Tax Credit (OSTC). Both tax credits help families committed to Catholic education for their children with tuition assistance. For generations, Catholic schools provided free, and then affordable education to families seeking to raise Catholic children. While free Catholic education is no longer a reality, many Catholic families continue to seek out a Catholic education for their children. They make willing sacrifices to invest in the character formation of their children and their economic future. Partner with them by redirecting your PA tax dollars. Thanks to a recent change in Pennsylvania law, individuals, S-Corps, and LLCs with a PA tax liability can now join a Special Purpose Entity (SPE) to take full advantage of the PA EITC programs. The Foundation for Catholic Education has set up a SPE for individuals desiring to reduce their tax liability in PA while advancing Catholic education in Delaware County. All you need to do by June 15, 2018: 1. Look at line 12 on your PA individual taxes and determine how much you want to contribute to tuition assistance at Notre Dame de Lourdes School. 75% of your tax liability is a good place to start. 2. Review the "SPE 2018/2019 Operating Agreement & Disclosure Documents" available at the school office. We can also you a copy; Barb Hoyer atnddl.development@gmail.com. 3. Sign the "Commitment to Distribute to SPE 2018/2019 Form," also available through the school office or Barb Hoyer, making sure to designate Notre Dame de Lourdes as the school receiving your valuable tax credit. 4. Return the signed commitment to the school office or Judi Neeld, Foundation for Catholic Education, 1373 Enterprise Drive, West Chester, PA Safe Environment Policies Archdiocesan policy requires all church personnel to obtain background checks.

Using regular rosary beads, work your way around the five decades with the prayers below. On the standalone beads, pray: "Eternal Father, I offer you the body, blood, soul, and divinity of your dearly beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world." On the decade beads, pray: "For the sake of his sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world." At the end, pray the following three times: "Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world." Conclude the Divine Mercy Chaplet with the words: "Jesus, I trust in you." GREAT PEOPLE = GREAT PARISH
