LENTEN SOUP SUPPERS
SAVE THE DATES: 3/10; 3/17; 3/24; 3/31; 4/7
Each Monday evening during Lent, we have a time of fellowship with delicious homemade soups, breads, and a short Lenten educational program. During the final week, we celebrate Stations of the Cross as we prepare ourselves for Holy Week.
JOIN THE PRAYER CHAIN!
We are resurrecting this wonderful ministry and would like to compile a list of people willing to pray intentionally (from home) for parishioners (and others) so that, when a prayer request comes in, 'pray-ers' will be alerted right away. If this is a ministry to which you feel called, or you want more information, contact Niqui Beckrum at nbeckrum@gmail.com.

MASS INTENTIONSThe greatest, most powerful and charitable prayer we have in the Catholic Church is the Eucharistic celebration called the Holy Mass, the Breaking of the Bread. Mass Intentions may be requested for Sundays, most holy days, and weekdays throughout the year for the living and the dead, or in thanksgiving for God's blessings in life such as a birthday, a wedding anniversary, during a time of illness, etc. Requesting a Mass is not only a sign of our flourishing faith, but of our generous heart for those who say these Masses. Mass offerings in the Diocese are typically $10 and can be scheduled by calling or emailing the parish office.
