I would like to thank everyone who came and supported me as I begin this new journey as a transitional

deacon. I also want to thank you for your prayers and support throughout my years in the seminary. While I

cannot be home as often as I would like to be, it is comforting to know that I have such a great parish family

praying for me. Please know that you are in my prayers.

Yours in Christ, Deacon Alex

Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) Program for Businesses & Individuals

Did you know that businesses & now you as an individual can redirect your tax dollars toward valuable tuition

assistance for our qualified students at St. Ephrem School? In addition, EITC provides a significant tax advantage for

businesses/individuals. EITC allows PA business owners to receive a 75% credit for a 1 year commitment or 90% credit for 2 years by directing their state tax dollars to a designated scholarship organization: Business Leadership Organized for

Catholic Schools (BLOCS) or Foundation for Catholic Education.

EITC is not just for businesses anymore! Individuals with a state tax liability can now join a Special Purpose Entity

(SPE) to take full advantage of the PA EITC program. The individual can gain a 90% tax credit for a 2-year

commitment & use the credit for their Personal PA Taxes. To learn more about EITC and the valuable tuition support

for our students, please call Mrs. Gwen Kochanski, Advancement Director at 215-639-4958

This & That (Fr. S. Katziner)

“Let Us Go Wherever He Leads”

May God make you holy,...becoming ever more your

companion, your living light, and a guide that you

may always hear and follow. Let us go wherever he

leads us: in darkness or light, to the splendor of

Tabor or the foot of the cross. It makes no

difference as long as he is with us, and we will

always be able to hear him when he speaks to us.

There is a great peace in this sort of total

abandonment, and in the gradual detachment from

all consolation and self-seeking that little by little

God allows to take place. I’m far from that point,

but God is working in his poor little servant and

will lead her there, since she surrenders all to him.

~Elisabeth Leseur (1866-1914),

a French married laywoman

whose cause for canonization is

underway.

Sight and Sound Theatre ~ JESUS Join New Horizons on a great adventure to Lancaster where we will see the greatest story of all time. The action-packed musical "Jesus" at the Sight and Sound Theatre is by far the best show I

choice of London Broil, Chicken Parmigiana or Raspberry Salmon with salad, vegetables, beverage and dessert. There is

even time for shopping at Kitchen Kettle Village. We will depart from St. Elizabeth Ann Seaton (Bensalem) parking lot on

Wednesday, July 25th @ 8am. Cost is $130 for show, lunch and motor coach transportation. Call Helen @ 610-213-4141 asap to
