CATHOLIC CHARITIES—A NEW VISION
Father Thomas Whittingham is a big man with a
big job. Ordained just three and a half years ago,
he is pastor at Saint Katharine Drexel Parish in
Chester. It is a post that requires every one of his
considerable assets, including his youthful energy,
graduate degree and his commanding 6’5”
physical presence.
Many people can still remember when Chester was
a vibrant Catholic community with many parishes,
schools and even its own Archdiocesan high
school, St. James. The vacant building is still
visible from Father Whittingham’s window.
Across the street, a former mansion is a recovery
center.
Most of Chester is in need of recovery, including
the Catholic Church. Where once there were
several parishes, there is now Saint Katharine
Drexel, a parish so sprawling that it requires
Father Whittingham to drive three exits on I-95 to
get from one end to the other. It’s the Catholic
center of gravity in Chester, performing what ar
essentially missionary works of mercy and
evangelization.
It is easy to look at Chester and lose hope. And
many of its residents have. But with the relentless
optimism of people like Father Whittingham, nuns
such as the Sisters of Saint Francis and
Missionaries of Charity, who have lovingly been
here for decades and the countless dedicated
volunteers, there can be hope.
An important part of that hope is the generosity of
people like you show to the Catholic Charities
Appeal. It helps provide not only food, clothing,
shelter and training, but it is also the best kind of
evangelization—the kind that doesn’t merely
preach the Gospel, but lives it.
Please be as generous as you can with your gift to
the 2016 Catholic Charities Appeal.
MONTHLY FOOD DRIVE
The regular monthly
collection of NON-PERISHABLE FOOD ITEMS for the needy
of Chester County will take place this
weekend of March 5th & 6th. Please leave
your donations in the bins in the vestibule.
Your generous contributions of food are
greatly appreciated.

AN INTRODUCTION TO THE EXTRAORDINARY
JUBILEE YEAR OF MERCY
Join us for an evening of discussion
about what’s so “extraordinary”
about the Extraordinary Jubilee of
Mercy and how we can respond to the graces
God is offering us. The program will be held
here at St. Max on Tuesday, March 15th at 7:00 pm in the church. The speaker will be Meghan
Cokeley, Director of the Office for the New
Evangelization for the Archdiocese of
Philadelphia. She is a Ph.D candidate in theology
and is responsible for planning and coordinating
our Archdiocesan observance of the Jubilee Year
of Mercy. More information to follow. CONGRATULATIONS!
Congratulations to our
Candidates who received the
Sacrament of Confirmation
this Saturday, March 5th at 10
AM and 1:30 PM. Bishop John J. McIntyre
administered the Rite of Confirmation to our 123
young candidates! The Confirmation masses
were concelebrated by Monsignor Carroll, Fr.
Capizzi, and Fr. Gardner, with the assistance of
Deacon Hickey and Deacon Ames. Our heartfelt
thanks go to Ms. Sara Topper, and the music
ministry for the beautiful music accompanying
our liturgy! We also extend our appreciation to
those who helped prepare the children: their
parents and our catechists and teachers: Mrs.
Connolly, Mrs. Crandall, Mrs. Evangelista, Mrs.
Keg, Mr. Regan, Mrs. Spears, Mrs. Tyndall, Ms.
Welsh, and our principal, Mrs. Malseed. Finally,
we would gratefully like to acknowledge all those
ministers who generously served as Ushers,
Eucharistic Ministers and Altar Servers! The
combined effort of all allowed for two beautiful
sacramental celebrations! May the gifts of the
Holy Spirit be lived faithfully by all!
Roberta Dainton
Director of Religious Education
The Parish would also like to extend its thank to
Mrs. Dainton for her planning, preparing, and
leading this sacramental event.
