Epiphany of Our Lord Church The Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph December 28, 2014 Epiphany of Our Lord Church - December 28, 2014 Page 1 Annual EOL Youth Group Christmas Party From the Pastor Congratulations and prayerful best wishes to parishioner Jacob Antonello, an eighth grade student at Holy Rosary Regional Catholic School, who was named the first Neumann Scholar in our regional school’s history! The honor, bestowed annually by the Connelly Foundation, is named after St. John Neumann, the fourth Bishop of Philadelphia (1852-60). Jacob is one of 35 recipients of this year’s honor who achieved the highest test scores out of 897 students throughout the five-county Archdiocese of Philadelphia who qualified to take the examination. Neuman Scholars receive a four-year scholarship of standard parental tuition to an archdiocesan high school of their choice. Last year, the scholarship value for the 2014-15 academic year was $6,450. The 2015 Neuman Scholars will be installed in May at St. Joseph’s University. 7th-12th grades welcome and college students back from break. Wear an ugly sweater or Christmas pj’s (appropriate, of course). Bring on white elephant gift wrapped by this Sunday, Dec. 28, from 7-10 p.m. at the Parish Center.
