The St. Mary’s Men’s Club will be hosting its fifth Lenten Seafood Dinner this Friday, March 17.  The doors of the church hall will open at 5:00 p.m. and the last dinner order is taken at 7:30 p.m.  The regular menu of Beer Battered Fish, Shrimp, Lobster Bisque, Tuna Salads and more will be augmented with Corned Beef and Cabbage Pierogies. 

Tomorrow is Saint Patrick’s Day, March 17. Bishop Edward Malesic has granted a dispensation from the obligation to abstain from meat for those who feel it absolutely necessary to be dispensed in order to celebrate the Feast of Saint Patrick. He has asked that those who exercise this dispensation and eat meat on Friday, March 17, select another non-Friday during Lent to abstain from eating meat or to make some offering on behalf of the poor, whether by prayer, fasting or almsgiving. This dispensation extends to all members of the Diocese of Cleveland wherever you are this Friday, as well as to any Catholic who is within the territory of the diocese on Friday.   

The St. Mary Men’s Club is once again sponsoring its HoneyBaked Ham sale for your Easter Holiday dinners. Men’s Club members will be taking orders in the Courtyard Narthex after all Masses this weekend and the weekend of March 25-26.  See the bulletin for further details.

Blood Pressure checks by registered nurses will take place after all Masses in the chapel this weekend.
