Worship March 02, 2015 - March 02, 2015 9:30-10:30AM or 7:30-8:30PM Healing Symposium - Lent, A Season of Mercy

Lent...A Season of Mercy

Prayerfully consider joining us to help make your Lenten journey more meaningful

 

Dear Parishioners,

Many of you participated in the first two seasons of our Healing Symposium. We enjoyed the insights of the six presenters who shared various points on the importance of healing.

The third season of our symposium will coincide with the 2015 Lenten season and will be shaped by our Lenten faith.   The focus of this Healing Symposium season will be the place of mercy in the experience of healing,  the call from Pope Francis  that parishes become “islands of mercy”, and the hope the parish may provide encouragement and support  for your Lenten practice.

Using the Sunday gospels as a discussion point, we will join together in guided reflections and discuss ways to incorporate the Works of Mercy into our everyday lives as we strive to be healed and to be healers.

I invite you to join with other parishioners in making this Lent a shared and special time.

Sincerely in Christ,

Please return your Easter baskets full of goodies by March 22nd.  Easter baskets may be left in the Loaves and Fishes closets in the rear of the church (open from 7:00AM to 2:30PM all week) or dropped off at the parish office. 

                                                                       HOW YOU CAN HELP:  If you did not receive a basket, you can still participate in this effort by bringing your own Easter basket full of Easter goodies (no loose or open bags of candy, please) and return it to the Loaves & Fishes closets no later than Sunday, March 22—NEXT SUNDAY.  There is always a need for Easter baskets at the outreach centers.  The hope is to provide each child with their own Easter basket but they often can only give one basket for a family to share.  In addition, we ask you to bring one jar of peanut butter or a box of cereal which will be given to each family receiving Easter baskets (The food items should be separate from the basket.)  

All baskets will be delivered to the parish outreach centers on Monday morning, March 23rd so they will be available for distribution before Palm Sunday.  Thank you for your  support!
