Bulletin June 28, 2015 St. Maximilian Kolbe Church June 28, 2015 Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time There was a woman afflicted with hemorrhages for twelve years. She had suffered greatly at the hands of many doctors and had spent all that she had. Yet she was not helped but only grew worse. She had heard about Jesus and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak. She said, “If I but touch his clothes, I shall be cured.” Immediately her flow of blood dried up. She felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction. Jesus, aware at once that power had gone out from him, turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who has touched my clothes?” And he looked around to see who had done it. The woman, realizing what had happened to her, approached in fear and trembling. She fell down before Jesus and told him the whole truth. He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has saved you. Go in peace and be cured of your affliction.” ———Mark—Mark 5:255:25----30,30, 3232----34343434 Page 2 June 28, 2015 RRREVEVEV . M. M SGR . R. R OBERT J. CJ.

M AXIMILIAN KOLBE SCHOOL A few weeks ago Ms. Dixon, our school principal, reported she would be moving to Blessed Teresa of Calcutta School. At that time she asked us to trust in God’s providence so that a new principal could lead our families into a bright and promising future. To this end I have formed a search committee that represents the interests of all stakeholders in providing an excellent educational and spiritual formation for our children. The committee members are: Mary Beth Gibbons - Parent and School Advisory Board Member Joe DiGregorio - Parent and School Advisory Board Member Deborah Krall - Teacher and School Advisory Board Member Sue Barbella - Parish Business Manager Bernadette Dougherty - Director of Elementary Educational Services, Archdiocese of Philadelphia Msgr. Carroll - Pastor Much has been done in the past few weeks. We reviewed all applications and proceeded to interview the best candidates. The committee has wholeheartedly endorsed a most capable, experienced and enthusiastic candidate. I most gladly accepted this endorsement and report to you that Mrs. Monica Malseed will begin her work here on July 1, 2015 as our new Principal. I ask for your prayerful support for Mrs. Malseed as she takes up this most important role in the lives of the Students, Faculty, and Parents. I know she will continue the tradition of excellence at St. Maximilian Kolbe Parish School. Included below is a short “bio” for your review. Rev. Msgr. Robert J. Carroll BIOGRAPHY OF MRS .

She has taught Art, Art History, Language Arts, Library Skills, and Social Studies to students of wide-ranging abilities and from diverse social backgrounds from pre K through college.

Page 4 June 28, 2015 PAPAL VISIT: TRANSPORTATION INFORMATION THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION WAS POSTED ON PHILLY.COM ON TUESDAY, JUNE 16, 2015 To cope with the unprecedented crowds anticipated for Pope Francis' visit in September, SEPTA plans to double its rail and subway capacity, limit train stops, and only carry Regional Rail passengers who have purchased special passes in advance. Officials of SEPTA, Amtrak, PATCO and other agencies joined Mayor Nutter at City Hall to outline transportation plans for papal visit and the World Meeting of Families."Be prepared to walk at least a few miles or more," Nutter said, warning that "this will be the largest event in the city of Philadelphia in modern history." Nutter said he had been told to expect 1 million to 2 million visitors to Center City but acknowledged, "I don't know how many people are coming." SEPTA will operate normal service during the week of the World Meeting of Families on September 22-25, but it will drastically alter service for the two days of the pope's visit: Saturday, Sept. 26, and Sunday, Sept. 27. Regional Rail trains, subways, and trolleys will run truncated routes, with stops at only 31 stations instead of the usual 282. A special $10, three-day SEPTA transit pass, valid from Saturday, September 26 through Monday, September 28, will be sold for travel on subways, buses and trolleys. Standard SEPTA passes and tokens can also be used on these transit modes. But on Regional Rail, passengers will need to buy a one-day, $10 special pass for each day of the pope's visit. Passes for the papal visit will go on sale July 15, only on SEPTA's website (www.septa.org ). Sales of Regional Rail passes will be limited to about 150,000, SEPTA officials said. The Broad Street subway and Market-Frankford subway-elevated lines are expected to carry about 200,000 people each on each day of the pope's visit. Trolleys are expected to carry about 100,000 each day. SEPTA officials expect tour buses to bring an additional 250,000 visitors to Center City. Amtrak will add cars to Philadelphia-bound trains and may add additional trains, if demand warrants. Parking will be a major hassle for mass transit riders, who are expected to overwhelm available spaces in existing lots. SEPTA officials said they are seeking additional parking in towns near the papal rail station stops, but they urged passengers to be dropped off near stations rather than try to park. Page 5 June 28, 2015 Continued— SEPTA plans to pick up passengers only at these stations, en route to Center City: - Paoli/Thorndale Line.

  • King of Prussia Rail Project Frequently Asked Questions Vers.: Summer 2014 These Frequently Asked Questions (Faqs) Have Been
    King of Prussia Rail Project Frequently Asked Questions Vers.: Summer 2014 These frequently asked questions (FAQs) have been developed to help residents, businesses and area stakeholders develop a better understanding of the proposed King of Prussia Rail Project, the development process, proposed preliminary alternatives and next steps. Additional questions and answers will be added to this list as project activities progress. 1. What is the proposed King of Prussia Rail Project? The King of Prussia Rail Project proposes to extend the existing Norristown High Speed Line into the King of Prussia area, providing a “one‐seat” ride to King of Prussia from either the 69th Street Transportation Center in Upper Darby or the Norristown Transportation Center in Norristown. The extension is expected to provide better transit service to the King of Prussia Mall and adjacent employment centers. This should improve regional mobility, provide an alternative to auto travel in the area which may help reduce congestion, and support development of multimodal transportation options for commuters, shoppers, students and visitors. 2. What is the Norristown High Speed Line? The Norristown High Speed Line (NHSL), is a modern, electrified train that runs from the 69th Street Transportation Center in Upper Darby to the Norristown Transportation Center. The line has 22 stops or stations, including Bryn Mawr, Villanova, Gulph Mills and Bridgeport. The line carries approximately 10,000 riders per day. Express and local trains run on a frequent schedule with service from approximately 4:30 a.m. until 2 a.m. The line is classified as an “inter‐urban” line and runs entirely on its own right‐of‐way which was inherited from the original Philadelphia and Western Railroad (sometimes referred to as the "old P&W," or the Route 100).
