Sacrament of Baptism:

Old St. Joseph's holds parish celebrations of the Sacrament of Baptism on the 3rd Sunday of each month at 1pm; or, preferably, at any Sunday Eucharist by arrangement with Fr. Hricko at least one month in advance. You can reach Fr. Hricko at at 215.923.1733 or mhricko@oldstjoseph.org. All parents are required to attend a pre-Baptism instruction on a 3rd Thursday, 7:30 to 9:00 PM, before the baptism takes place.  Godparents are strongly encouraged to attend this instruction.


Sacrament of Matrimony:

Persons who wish to be married at Old St. Joseph's should contact Fr. Hricko at least six months prior to the anticipated date of the wedding. Registered, longstanding parishioners are given preference in scheduling. Please contact Fr. Hricko via his email address: mhricko@oldstjoseph.org.


Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults:

Unbaptized adults, Catholics baptized as infants who received no other sacraments, and baptized non-Catholics considering full communion in the Catholic Church are most welcome to contact the parish office at 215.923.1733.

Sacrament of Anointing:

On the first Saturday of every month, we offer the Sacrament of Anointing during the 12:05 PM Mass to all those who wish to receive it. Formerly known as “Extreme Unction,” or the “Last Rites” and generally restricted to those who were in danger of death, the Church now makes this Sacrament available to anyone who is sick in mind or body or who is facing some medical procedure that causes him or her some anxiety. Like any sacrament, the Sacrament of the sick is the place in which believers encounter the person and activity of Jesus who continues to be present in the world today through the ministry of the Church. In this particular sacrament, it is the Jesus who heals and who has compassion on the sick and the suffering whom we encounter.
