SCHOOL NEWS
Preschool – We celebrated St.
Patrick’s and St. Joseph’s Day this week!
The children had fun learning about leprechauns and playing pass the potato. We recited a rhyme about St. Joseph and
played with child friendly tools.
Kindergarten – This week we learned
about St. Patrick and related the shamrock to the Trinity and the Sign of the
Cross. We also did some fun St.
Patrick’s Day activities.
1st – In honor of St.
Patrick’s Day, we learned about Irish culture and traditions.
2nd – We are continuing
our study of the Solar System. We are
going to construct different constellations by punching holes in cereal boxes
and shining a flashlight inside of them to observe the patterns.
3rd – The students are
exploring the three main types of rocks.
They will create a chart that classifies each type of rock.
4th – We practiced the
process of long division using a mnemonic device and colored pencils to track
their steps.
5th – Our class is really
starting to work on their science fair projects. They have many exciting ideas. They are also in the middle of the unit on sound. They are experimenting with pitch, frequency
and volume.
6th – We began reading a
story about the Greeks and Romans. We
are also preparing the play, “The Skill of Pericles.”
7th – The students are reading
“Rikki-tikki-tavi” by Rudyard Kipling.
In Social Studies, we are learning about the Constitution.
8th – The Math classes for
Grades 6, 7, and 8 are studying all things proportional. Grade 8 is making picture enlargements,
Grade 7 is examining money conversions by planning a trip, and Grade 6 is

ELIZABETH
MINISTRY UPDATE
Can you remember when a brief conversation
with your mom, sister or friend left you feeling energized and
encouraged? The support of women for women is essential during the
childbearing years--we all want to know that someone else understands our joys
and sorrows and that someone does care.
The Elizabeth Ministry at St. Philip Neri
Parish reaches out to women in our parish to celebrate the expectancy, birth or
adoption of a child, to console and comfort a woman experiencing the
frustration of infertility, the pain of miscarriage or child death and the
confusion of raising a child with special needs.

ARCHDIOCESAN NEWS
Is God calling you to be a Priest?
Office
of the Cardinal
Dear
Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
For many years, Catholics in Central and
Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union have practiced their faith in the
shadows for fear of persecution.
Despite these obstacles, Catholics continue to grow in faith and in
numbers. God’s perfect love has
sustained and strengthened the people and the Church, creating a new generation
of believers while sustaining those who have made it through the darkest of
times.
Your participation in the Collection for the Church in Central and Eastern Europe will assist
in the building of churches; training and educating of pastors and lay people;
sustaining orphanages; evangelizing children, adults and seniors as well as
providing scholarships to Catholic students.
This collection will be conducted next weekend
– March 27th & 28th.
I am grateful, on behalf of our Catholic brothers and sisters in Central
and Eastern Europe, for your generous sacrifice and prayers.
Sincerely in Christ,
Cardinal Justin Rigali

Lifting of the Flu
Directives in the Liturgy
The flu
season directives which have been in force since October 18, 2009, provided a
necessary pastoral response to the health risks associated with the H1N1
Flu. The current information available
from the Center for Disease Control confirms that the 2009 H1N1 Flu has
significantly dissipated throughout the country and especially in our
region. Individuals must still be
encouraged to use good sense if they are ill and have flu-like symptoms when
they are in group settings.
Therefore,
with the notable change in the circumstances that prompted the flu season
directives, it seems timely to terminate them.
In the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, in all parishes and institutions, as
of Sunday, March 14, 2010 the exchange of the Sign of Peace and the
distribution of the Precious Blood for the faithful may be reintroduced in the
manner indicated by the liturgical norms.
Catholic Social Services

or mail a check payable to Walk Against Hunger to Catholic Social Services, 353
E. Johnson Hwy., Norristown. Please
designate your donation to Catholic Social Services which is Team #28 – Hunger
Busters. All proceeds will go directly
to support our emergency food cupboard and funds are used to purchase fresh
milk for senior citizens. Catholic
Social Services food cupboard provided over 2,000 milk vouchers to senior
citizens in the year 2009. This 2% milk
helps protect their stomach from the adverse side-effects of their medications. Please feel free to call our office
