Spiritual CommunionAct of Spiritual Communion
A Prayer by St. Alphonsus Maria de Liguori
My Jesus,
I believe that you are present
in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things, and
I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment
receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart
.
I embrace You as if You were already there
and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen.

Prayer to St. Michael
"Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil; May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; And do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits who wander through the world for the ruin of souls. Amen."

The "Little Church on the Hill" celebrates 125 Years!
On May 26, 1894, Archbishop Ryan presided over the Solemn High Mass of Dedication for St. Francis de Sales Parish which evolved as a mission church organized from St. Thomas the Apostle, Glen Mills late in the 1880’s. Over the years, a school was built (1910) and the children were taught by the Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia. St. Francis has continued to serve the pastoral needs of the community and its parishioners as well as actively donating time and talent to help others in our surrounding communities.
