St. John the Baptist, Manayunk

Serving the Communities of Roxborough, Manayunk & Wissahickon Since 1831

Support Pontifical Missions

We thank Fr. IlDephonse for joining us July 12-13 to share the Missionary work of Benedictine Monks in Tanzania. Donations will be accepted through the end of July. Throughout the year, the Pontifical Mission Societies support the proclamation of the Gospel, the building of the Church, and the work and witness of mission priests, religious Sisters and Brothers, and lay pastoral leaders. These missionaries provide food, education, and medical care to the most vulnerable communities in the Pope’s missions. Through their work, they reveal the compassionate heart of Jesus. Help support their efforts ~ and be right there with them, offering hope.
