Manayunk Catholics

A powerful network

With over 1,200 active parish families, 3,500 registered members, and 3,000 Alumni, our parish is a vibrant Roman Catholic community rich in faith and history, over 190 years young. We welcome those here for the present, and those who here for years to come.  It is a blessing to walk with the community through family support, reception of the sacraments, youth religious education, young adult spirituality, senior care, visits to the sick, and comfort to those who care for us.  Join us!

We work hard to ensure that  our parishioners are engaged in our community, especially to families, the homebound and the elderly. We’re continually seeking volunteers to work closely with those who are greatly served by the spiritual, social, and community ministries we work together to provide.
