Free health screenings at St. Patrick Church hall, DeKalb and Chestnut streets, Norristown, from noon to 3 on the first Sunday of every month. The faculty and students from St. Joseph’s University Institute for bioethics, the Sisters of Mercy Health Services and many others have been key players in helping our parish with this important outreach as we have expanded the services provided. Several of our own parishioners have been trained as health promoters and do the screening with the help of others. We are continuing to expand the range of services to include referrals to clinics. The goals of this effort are to increase medical knowledge and care, to save lives and to enable better use of hospital resources. The focus is on the underserved populations near us, but we welcome all parishioners to come see what’s happening and see if there may be a role for you.
Every Friday at the North Wales Library, 233 S. Swartley Street, North Wales, offers group Pinochle every Friday at noon and additional players are needed. Please stop by and join us for this free event.
