FAITH IN THE FUTURE To keep updated on the latest information regarding the Blue Ribbon Commission’s report to the Archdiocese regarding the elementary and high schools, you can visit their website: www.faithinthefuture.com. As you know the recommendation from the Blue Ribbon Commission regarding our parish school was that we merge with St. Andrew School in Drexel Hill. An appeal has been made by us and St. Andrew School and as soon as we hear from the Archdiocese with their decision concerning our school we will let you know. Please continue to pray for our faculty, staff, students and parents as we go through this very emotional and trying time.

HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE PARISH BULLETIN
THANK YOU A very generous $938.00 was received in donations for our beautiful Christmas flowers this year. I am very grateful to you all for this. Also, I realize that the Block Collection envelopes were mailed out late last year and so far we have received contributions from 67 of our families. A total of 719 envelopes were mailed. To date, we have received a total of $6,236.00 from those 67 families. God bless you for your generosity.

UPPER DARBY SENIOR CENTER Membership at the Upper Darby Senior Center is FREE! You can even arrange a door-to-door bus ride and enjoy a full lunch for just $2.00. Some of the activities include computerized fitness equipment, bingo, card games, live music, line dancing, casino trips, free blood pressure, legal advocate and much more. The center is located at 326 Watkins Avenue and their phone number is 610-734-7652.
FOOD COLLECTION SUNDAY On every second weekend, St. Cyril's will collect canned goods, staple items and non-perishables which will be donated to the local community Food Banks. This will benefit people in our community who have trouble putting food on the table for their families. Collection baskets will be marked and located in the main vestibule, as well as the two front Sacristy entrances of the church. Thank you in advance participation in this new venture for our parish!
R.C.I.A. Are you or someone you know interested in joining the Catholic Church? Are you curious about the Catholic faith but unsure you want to make a commitment? Are you a Catholic who desires to complete the initiation process by receiving Eucharist and/or Confirmation? If you answered yes to any of these questions, R.C.I.A. may be for you. This program is designed to assist youth and adults who: Have never been baptized and wish to be baptized in the Catholic Church. Have been baptized in another Christian tradition and wish to become Catholic. Have been baptized Catholic but have not received First Eucharist and/or Confirmation. If you are interested in learning more about the RCIA program, please call Mary Kate Murphy at 610-623-5160. Classes are beginning shortly.
