Saint Andrew Catholic Church — Local services in Newtown Township

I am very saddened by the way I have been treated. I used to attend this church before my life turned upside down with having 2 kids and a very hectic life as a single mom that has no time to attend a mass and I was also a parishioner. I have called them last week because I am in a very bad financial situation and needed help with rent payment. I left voicemails while sobbing to please call me back and I have heard nothing. I came there today in person to ask since I had a notice taped to my door today and the receptionist first asked through the door bell what I was there for I explained. She asked if I had an appointment. I said I didn’t know I needed one. Then she asked me for my name and if I was a parishioner I gave her my name and said yes I am. She proceeded to call someone gave them my name and immediately said that someone had already contacted me saying they wouldn’t help me but that’s untrue and when I asked if I could speak with someone she wouldn’t allow me to as well as not allow me to step into the inside and treated me like I was some dirty piece of trash. I as gods daughter would never be able to treat and lie to a human being like that let alone a single mother with two kids that is crying for help. I’m extremely saddened to see Catholics to be acting this way. The religion already has a bad wrap but by Catholics treating human beings like that it’s just ugly and ungodly. I’m not sure what it is that they don’t like about me maybe it’s because I’m from a foreign country but remember that the devil is always testing you how much you will do for him, but god is the ultimate...

Now a member for almost two years I must say the clergy of this church and its parishioners are truly deciples of Christ. I am a part of the parishes choir and love every minute. The choir master is truly a professional in that we have aquired the ability to do many elaborate choral pieces under his direction. The organist/assistant director is also good in helping us to learn our individual parts. This year will be the second year I get to sing in the Christmas concert which I am looking forward to.

This parish and its parishioners have recieved me well. There have been times when I've been in a financial bind and the church and its parishioners have helped me out.

Once I was faced with loosing my car due to non-payment of my car loan. I sought out help from my church and the Msgr. authorized one full payment to ensure I would not loose my car. The members of the choir have also helped me out during hard times in addition to inviting me to join them for breakfast after mass.

St. Andrews church is a wonderful loving and caring church and I must say I am so glad that I have become a part of this parish. If anyone living in or near Newtown, PA. is looking for a Catholic church to join I highly recommend St....

Despite its size, St Andrew is the most welcoming and inclusive community with joyous celebration of mass and spectacular music. Priests are all excellent orators and very actively involved in getting to know the parishioners and attending school, CYO sports and scouts activities. We love how family oriented St Andrew is—Monsignor actively encourages children in the church despite the cry room availability. There is also a weekly children’s liturgy. It is a very active church with a great variety of volunteer opportunities to be involved in lay ministry. The church is always beautifully decorated and clean. St Andrew is a prayerful, generous and...
