Our Lady of Charity is a diverse parish community of Roman Catholics from
Brookhaven, Upland, Parkside, and portions of Chester and Middletown Townships.
Baptized into Christ Jesus and confirmed by the gift of the Holy Spirit, we desire to
share the Light of Christ with all by proclaiming the Gospel with our lives.
We strive to fulfil our parish mission by committing ourselves to:
Worship of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit through
the Eucharist, the celebration of the other sacraments, and varied prayer experiences.
Christian
Community by promoting unity and loving concern for one another
through out liturgical celebrations, social events, parish committees, and parish
organizations.
Evangelization
by encouraging our neighbors to share our faith through personal witness and hospitality.
Teaching
by providing instruction in the Gospel message of Jesus Christ through our church, school,
CCD, and adult education programs.
Service
by providing spiritual comfort to the bereaved, to homebound parishioners, to the sick in
Crozer-Chester Medical Center and other facilities, and by providing aid to those in need
through various volunteer parish and school programs.
Because we are identified as Our Lady of Charity parish we have a special
responsibility to create a loving community that includes not only ourselves but also our
neighbors.
We pray with confidence to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, through the
intercession of Mary, Our Lady of Charity, that we will continue to respond to our call to
be a generous, warm, welcoming faith community.
