1. Great News - Bishop McGovern has announced that, starting Holy Thursday, we will return to offering the option of drinking the Precious Blood of Jesus at Mass to everyone. Of course, it is optional to drink from the chalice, so if you have any fear of this, know you are receiving the ‘fullness’ of Jesus’ Body and Blood in the consecrated Host.
2. Guatemala Mission Trip - We had a Spirit-filled week of visiting with our Sister Parish and learning a great deal about the various projects we are supporting there. The Mission group will plan an evening in mid to late April to share with you our insights, inspiring photographs and faith stories.
3. Good Friday Collection - I want to remind you of the importance of the collection on Good Friday that supports the Catholics in the Holy Land. With so few Christians living in these holy places of the Bible stories, they depend on our financial support to maintain these important pilgrimage places where Jesus lived. Our bishop has asked each parish to remember this important collection. Thank you for all the ways you live your faith and support our Catholic Church.
