Unable to make it to the Ministry Fair? That’s okay! Ministry flyers and brochures with contact information are available at the entrance of each worship site.

Annual Designer Bag Bingo

We are excited to announce our 2nd Annual OLC Purse Bingo on Saturday, January 30, 2027!

We are hoping to make this event just as successful or even more successful than our first, thanks to the incredible generosity and support of so many of our parishioners!

Purse Sponsorship Opportunity
This year, we are asking families, groups, or businesses if they would like to sponsor a purse for the event. For $100, you can sponsor one of our bingo purses. You will not need to purchase the purse; your sponsorship will help cover the cost of the purse and your family or business name will be displayed next to the purse you sponsor. It’s a wonderful way to support OLC while having your family or business recognized during our event!

As we get closer to the event, we will also be looking for donations of bottles of wine, gift cards, food, and other items to help make the evening a success. More information will be coming as the date gets closer.

We will once again have:

Regular Bingo
Special Bingo
Food
Wine
50/50
Raffles
Amazing Door Prizes
And, of course, LOTS of beautiful purses!

And remember, we sold out last year, and we are projecting that we may sell out even earlier this year!

Thank you again for your continued generosity and support of our parish and for helping make all of our events such wonderful opportunities to come together as a church family.

If you would like to sponsor a purse, make a donation or have any questions, please reach out to Toni Hertzog. 484-880-0080.

Celebrating 20 Years of PJP II

Join us as we celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Pope John Paul II Regional School at the Anniversary Gala & Silent Auction on Saturday, November 14, 2026, at Coatesville Country Club.

All parishioners, alumni, current and former families, and friends of PJP II are invited to share in an evening of fellowship and celebration as we honor 20 years of faith, friendship, and memories while supporting the future of our school.

We look forward to celebrating this special milestone with you!

Comfort & Peace of Mind for the Future

Due to rising maintenance costs, we anticipate a price increase for burial plots at both Our Lady of Seven Dolors and St. Malachi cemeteries. Planning ahead provides peace of mind and helps protect your family from future expenses. Registered parishioners can secure their family's legacy within our church community while locking in the current lower rates by purchasing now.

To schedule an appointment to view available plot locations and discuss pricing options (including interest-free payment plans), please contact: Mary Beth Rohrer at the church rectory 610-857-3510 or [email protected].

We encourage interested parishioners to inquire soon to take advantage of current rates.
