On Saturday, August 2nd, members of the Pennsylvania – Philadelphia Area, gathered for Holy Mass at Our Lady of Lourdes Church, Overbrook. Father Matthew Phelan, O. de M., pastor, was the celebrant, and Father Justin Freeman, O. de M., concelebrated the Votive Mass in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary under the appellation, Our Lady of Ransom.

Following Holy Mass, members gathered for a quick breakfast and meeting to discuss upcoming activities for the upcoming feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary this month, as well as the upcoming feast of Our Lady of Philermo, the next Investiture, and planning for other future fall events.

Then as usual, we got down to the real business at hand. We rounded out our morning by making, assembling, and delivering meals for our shut in brothers and sisters in need.
