Hi there, everyone! Here is our Flocknote for this week.
1)

2) Rite of Sending & Election: This weekend at the 9:00 am Mass we will celebrate the Rite of Sending with Brad, our RCIA catechumen as he travels to the Cathedral with myself & other candidates & catechumens for the Rite of Election with Bishop Malesic that evening. Please continue to pray for Brad as he enters into this final stage of his preparation for celebrating the Easter sacraments.
3) Stations of the Cross: Thanks to all who joined together this morning for the praying of the Stations of the Cross. The Stations will be prayed every Friday during Lent following the 8:30 am daily Mass.
4) Coffee & Doughnuts: Thanks to our Social Committee for their effort in putting together the return of Coffee & Doughnuts! I received a very nice note from someone saying that those who served were awesome. We hope to do more events in the future.
5) St. Patrick's Day Dispensation: As we observe the first meatless Friday of Lent just a reminder that Bishop Malesic has dispensed the obligation to fast on St. Patrick's Day which falls on a Friday this year. Instead of fasting on Friday of that week we are asked to fast on another day of that week or take up some offering on behalf of the poor.
Have a Blessed Week!
Fr. John
