The Saint Joachim Alumni Association is celebrating its installation with a Mass on Saturday November 12, at 4:30pm. The mass will be held at St. Joachim Church located at 1527 Church Street. After Mass there will be a gathering in the Parish Hall to celebrate and officially register Alumni. Light Refreshments will be served.

Please inform other Alumni and friends of the Parish. The next Meeting will be October 26 at 6:15pm at the Rectory. We hope to see you there. If you cannot attend, you can email the Alumni Association at stjoachimalumni@gmail.com or check out the website at http://saintjoachimalumni.blogspot.com/.

It may have taken over a century but St. Joachim School finally has an alumni association.  While the school has closed, the spirit lives on and it is in that spirit that well over 200 people gathered after the 10:30 Mass last Sunday for the first meeting.  It was like a reunion with old and younger alike browsing through the old pictures and papers that documented their years at the corner of Penn and Church Streets.  If you missed it and want more information contact the parish office at 215-535-0580.

See the short video below.  You may recognize some old friends.
