appy Fourth of July weekend! I hope you had an enjoyable Fourth
and will have safe travel wherever you
go.
Because there is important information regarding Child
Protection Policies in this bulletin please take the time to
read that information. It is extremely important. It is new
information and therefore no one can assume to think they
already know all about it.
You are invited to check out our web site for how to take
advantage of Electronic Giving. This is especially convenient to have already set up for when you would be away on
vacation or visiting another Church.
News about The World Meeting of Families:
Much more important information will be coming very soon
about transportation and purchase of tickets for the events
and/or for the trains. St. David is not sending a bus because of the huge number of buses already scheduled to
invade the Parkway on the Sunday of the Mass, so we are
planning to use the trains and will have more details on
how to do this in future issues of our bulletin.
The classes on Thursdays at 7:00PM on CATHOLICISM
continue this Thursday July 9. All are welcome!

God Bless You and your Families,
Let Us Renew Our Loyalty
Let us renew our loyalty
to Christ today. He humbled himself so that we
might be raised to the
standing of sons of God.
He shared our human
nature with us so that we
could share his divine nature. He died a cruel
death on Calvary so that
we could have an eternal
life in heaven.
We pray for light for those whose foolish pride
has left them groping in darkness. Let us also
ask the good God to keep us ever on the road
of truth, the road of Christian humility which
leads to the eternal home which Christ has won
for us by his incarnation.

Governor Tom Wolf announced on June 10, 2015 that
fees for child abuse clearances and criminal background
checks required by the Child Protective Services Law will
be waived for volunteers working with children. Additionally, the Department of Human Services (DHS) and the
Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) will be reducing the cost
of both the child abuse and criminal history record checks
from $10 to $8 for all other applicants. These changes will
take effect July 25, 2015.
In 2014, 23 pieces of legislation were enacted including
Act 153 of 2014, changing how Pennsylvania responds to
child abuse. These changes significantly impacted the reporting, investigation, assessment, prosecution and judicial handling of child abuse and neglect cases. “My action
today could not have been accomplished without the hard
work of the General Assembly, who has participated in an
ongoing bipartisan working group with the Administration
in an effort to develop needed clarifications to the Child
Protective Services Law,” said Gov. Wolf. “Through that
process, the General Assembly expressed concerns of
many members about the cost of background clearances,
particularly for volunteers. I share those concerns, and that
is why I am excited to announce these actions today.”
Beginning July 1, 2015, volunteers are required to obtain
background checks, including the Child Abuse History
Clearance, issued by the DHS, and the Criminal History
Record Check, issued by the PSP. Persons seeking employment for work with children and others required under
the law will still be assessed fees for the clearances, but at
a reduced cost of $8 each. FBI clearances are also required for all employees and for volunteers who have not
been a continuous resident of the commonwealth for the
last 10 years, but because these are administered by the
federal government current costs will continue to apply.
A comprehensive list of persons required to get clearances is as follows:
Child care service employees;
Foster parents and adult household members;
Prospective adoptive parents and adult household members;
Individuals 14 year of age or older applying for a paid
position as an employee responsible for the welfare of a
child or having direct contact with children;
Any individual seeking or provide child-care services
under contract with a child-care facility or program;
School employees governed by public school code and
those not governed by the public school code (colleges
and universities).
More information about clearances required under the
Child Protective Services Law can be found at
www.keepkidssafe.pa.gov. Individuals seeking clearances
can go directly to www.compass.state.pa.us/cwis to create
an individual account and apply for their child abuse clearance electronically. Also new is that beginning July 1, the
clearances must be obtained every three years. Previously
we had required the clearances every five years. Therefore many of our volunteers will need to renew their clearances over the summer (after July 24). Contact Maureen
Mahon at [email protected] for your status.

iAid for Friends
I would like to thank all those cooks out there who give of
their valuable time and talent
donating the many dinner
trays that serve those in need
and who are homebound.
Your generosity has put many
a smile on a thankful heart.
Along with our thank you I also have an urgent request to
ask St. David parishioners to help us meet the demand of
more needed trays during the summer months. We have
a higher need during this time for those we serve. So in
order to fill those requests we need your help even more
now. For those who are not familiar with how to get the
supplies. The trays are down stairs in Father Curren Hall
in the room next to the kitchen. From the Aid For Friends
and those in need, we thank you.
i Christian Appalachian Project
The Mohan and Robinson families will be volunteering
with the Christian Appalachian
Project in eastern Kentucky
again this summer. We will be
helping with a school readiness
program and seniors program. We have already collected
several boxes of children’s
books for CAP’s literacy project,
but we would like your help with
other needed items. Please consider donating new socks
and underwear for children/youth (please place in the box
marked CAP in the vestibule). A financial donation
marked “CAP” on the envelope in the collection basket or
to the rectory (contributions will be used to purchase
items for a CAP food bank which serves more than
900 families each month). Donations will be accepted
from now until July 12th. Thank you for your generosity!

St. Edgar the Peacemaker
Historically today is the feast of St. Edgar the peacemaker, king of England in 975.
Although few people have heard of him, King Edgar is
regarded as the first ruler of
a
consolidated England. Father of Saint Edward the
Martyr and great-grandson of
Alfred the Great, Edgar was
born to king Edmund the
Magnificent and St Elfgiva.
He
was efficient, peaceful, and
unusually tolerant of local customs. He supported his friend Saint Dunstan, who
served as his counselor.
England underwent a religious revival in his reign, and
he is venerated at Glastonbury.
