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
