MERCY MEAL VOLUNTEER TRAINING

On Thursday, March 18th from 9:45 – 11:00 AM in the parish hall, there will be a training meeting for Mercy Meal volunteers who signed up for the Set-Up Team. We will be discussing the duties of the Set-Up volunteers as well as showing where the set-up items are located. Please make sure every effort is made to attend as we would like to get this important program up and running. Direct any questions about the training to Julie Rowland at 244-2285 or Theresa Yergeau at 679-5531.

 

A good resource for parish lectors and others who read the weekly readings can be found at http://www.lectorprep.org/.These notes try to serve the Church by helping lectors prepare to proclaim the Scriptures in our Sunday assemblies. For each day’s first and second readings (and occasionally for the gospel), the notes give the historical and theological background, plus suggestions on oral interpretation.

 

GUEST SPEAKER NEXT WEEKEND

Missionary Cooperation Program

Next weekend Sister Patricia A. Startup of the Maryknoll Sisters of St. Dominic will speak at all the Masses about the missionary work of the sisters. A second collection will be taken for the benefit of the sisters work.

 

LAST YEAR’S PALMS

Remember to bring last year’s palms to church by Palm Sunday. A basket is placed before the cross in the Narthex for them. These palms will be placed on the fire for the Easter Vigil.
