Dear Parents and Guardians,
Extended Parking Lot
As you have surely noticed, a section of the field in front of the school has been bulldozed. Queen of the
Universe Parish is extending their parking lot to accommodate 80 additional parking spaces. The plan,
which can be found in the vestibule of the Church and in the school office, includes water basins,
electrical lighting and sidewalks. The lot will be up to the 4th tree along the fence and not beyond the
front of the parish center, and the children will still have field space for physical education, recreation
and sports. The cost is being borne by the parish. More information will be forthcoming on the parish
website.
Congratulations!
Congratulations to our First Communicants and their families from St. Francis Cabrini Parish. The
following children received First Holy Eucharist on one of three Sundays: April 19, April 26 and May 3:
Ava Mueller, Olivia Odimara, Luke Ryan, Olivia Tees, Julia Temple, Alexa Atkinson, Steven Harris, Olivia
Milano, Ryan O’Neill, Ryan Rutledge, Jared Swope, Ryder Benjamin, Rylee Brennan, Stanislao Lanzetta,
Brianna McFadden, Brooke McFadden, and Keira O’Brien.
Congratulations!

Brian’s Story:
Brian David was a lifelong member of St. Frances Cabrini Church who attended St. Frances Cabrini
School from k-8, and then attended Conwell-Egan Catholic High School.
As a member of the Parish community, Brian volunteered his time throughout the first annual Brian F.
David memorial Golf Tournament on June 6, 2014 with all proceeds benefitting Holy Family Regional
Catholic School. Golf registrations, tournament challenges and raffle proceeds exceeded $9,000 in its
first year. We hope that this year’s tournament will be even more successful.
We Need your Help!
We are asking our school families to consider participating in the tournament as golfers, or by donating
raffle baskets.
Gather a foursome and join us for a great day of golf at Northampton Valley Country Club.
For information, contact Karen David at 215-946-4040.
Look for more information in the coming weeks.

Attention All Families!
We recently became aware that the Bridge Educational Foundation is accepting requests directly from
families through15th. This process differs from the current Bridge program in that families work directly with Bridge rather than the school. It is a competitive process so we suggest you use the
attached template and submit to Bridge as soon as feasible. Please note, you must submit the attached
statement in order to receive consideration.
For information visit.edu.org and go to the parents tab for information.
The spring Bridge application process remains the same. The applications will be available in the
Advancement Office for the spring cycle. As soon as they are received, we will let you know.
Call Mary Ann Conway at 215-269-9600, Ext 208questions.

SAINT FRANCES CABRINI
ANNUAL MAY PROCESSION
On Tuesday evening May 5th at 7:00 PM, the
Saint Frances Cabrini Parish Community will be gathering for the annual May Procession in honor of the
Blessed Virgin Mary.
At this time, Saint Frances Cabrini Parish
Community is especially inviting their students at Holy Family Regional Catholic School to join in this
special evening. The Parish Community’s Eighth
graders are asked to wear their graduation gown, the
Confirmation students are asked to wear their Confirmation robe, and the First Communion students are
asked to wear their First Communion outfits and the
fifth and seventh grade altar servers are asked to wear
their alb. All other students are asked to join in the
procession wearing their Holy Family Regional Catholic School winter uniform.
The annual May Procession provides a wonderful opportunity for all our parishioners to give public witness of our love and devotion to the Blessed
Mother. Our Regional School students are all asked
to join our Parish Religious Education Program students by gathering in the Father Laut School Building
by 6:40 PM.
In the event of bad weather, we ask that you
go directly to church, and follow the direction of the
ushers.
Our May procession is a unique and fitting
way to acknowledge and honor the special role of Our
Blessed Mother in the life of Church and in the lives
of our families, please plan on joining the Parish
Community for the Annual May Procession.
