Special Offering for the ECC Mary Magdaline Socieity

 

The Mary Magdalene Society was formed in 2015 with the purpose of having an endowment that creates a permanent financial foundation. Based on the annual interest earned from the MMS Foundation, grants are then awarded to various causes.

Specifically, the Mary Magdalene Society supports:

  • ECC Youth ministry service projects
  • Seminarians/clergy who are ECC affiliated with economic needs
  • Student debt relief
  • Incardination expenses
  • Candidate ordination expenses

Please mark your envelope or electronic gift “MMS”.

From the MSS ECC Committee – Please consider making a special direct donation anytime during the month of July to MMS in honor of and in gratitude for the clergy serving your parish community. 

 

Perhaps your donation may be the equivalent cost of a Starbucks coffee drink, a double dip ice cream, a Dunkin donut and coffee, Krispy Kreme donuts, a favorite beverage or simply put, a donation that comes from a more generous heart. 

Prayer before service: 10 minutes (when candles are lit) before mass, we ask for silent reverence and prayer in the Chapel. Thank you.

Thank you to Rev. Steve Ohnsman, pastor of Calvary for inviting All Souls to be a part of this Open and Affirming (ONA) mural painting at the GoggleWorks in Reading.

Enjoy a few photos from our 2nd Annual Outdoor Pride Mass and Cookout.
