parish named for Mother Teresa
For the first time in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, a new parish will be given the name Blessed Teresa of Calcutta. The burgeoning new parish in Montgomery County will be formed July 1 from the consolidation of St. Clare Parish in Linfield and St. Peter Parish in Pottstown. Msgr.

Peter and Paul, and a former vice rector at St. Charles Borromeo Seminary, has been named pastor of St. Katharine of Siena Parish in Wayne.

Fresh Faith: Hair today, gone tomorrow - ‘Makeovers’ with a purpose It all began with one young woman wondering what she could sacrifice for Lent.
