Become a Friend of Saints AJ |
St. Agatha-St. James is a Roman Catholic Church located in the
University City section of Philadelphia. Because of our unique location, we
sponsor a wide range of ministries to the three university campuses and four
area hospitals, as well as supporting various community and social outreach
programs. In addition to our resident parishioners and our student membership,
we are fortunate to have a growing number of "Friends of St. Agatha-St. James"
who connect with us in various ways and are a vital part of our parish family.
Our friends may join with us for Sunday worship or they may minister to others
as representatives of our parish, especially as pastoral visitors and
Eucharistic ministers to the various hospitals. Some of our friends are former
parishioners and students who remain participative in our parish worship
because they value the experience we provide. Some have an endearing
relationship with us because they have celebrated a special sacramental moment
in their lives here or they were touched by our chaplaincy outreach and
continue to support our mission. There are many others who have moved on
geographically but remain in partnership with us by their prayer and financial
support of our work.
We could not be who we are without our friends nor, as the song says, could we
get by without the help of our friends. Please consider honoring us and
blessing us by becoming a friend.
