Fifth Sunday after Easter

May 17, 2020

Silence of Mary

If you are interested in giving food to assist Silence of Mary, there will be a drop off taking place at the church from 11am-12pm on Saturdays. They always have needs, but much more so when the children are out of school. Contact Chris Keifer by email at cp3k@comcast.net with any questions.

Mater Dei Email List

During this time of restricted access to the church, we are utilizing our mass email list to regularly update parishioners. If you are not on this list and wish to be, email ChaplainsSecretary@MaterDeiPA.com to be added as a recipient.

Mater Dei Merchandise

We are currently sold out of Mater Dei tee shirts, but still have a limited supply of mugs and window decals available. Please contact the office if you are interested in making a purchase to support Mater Dei.

Thank You to Seminarians

We are very thankful to have three FSSP seminarians, James Eichman, Nicholas Eichman, and Christopher Eichman, with us to assist with Masses. With Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary in Nebraska currently shut down, they are taking online classes to finish out the year.

This Wednesday, May 20th, we will be livestreaming our monthly St. Jude Devotion.

  • 6pm Simple Adoration

Live Streamed Mariology Lecture Series

Fr. Killackey will be giving a Mariology lectures series on Friday evenings from 6:00pm to 6:30pm in the month of May.  The series will continue this Friday and conclude May 29.  Mariology is the study of Mary, the Mother of God, which seems very fitting in May, the month of our Lady.  In particular, we will be looking at the theological implications of what it means to say that Mary is the "Mother of God" and "full of grace," and how this should affect our spiritual lives.  These lectures will be live streamed via the Mater Dei facebook page.  Any questions, please email Fr. Killackey at fr.killackey@materdeipa.com.
