LADIES, PLEASE START YOUR OVENS
This is just a quick reminder that our Palm Sunday Bake Sale is just one week away. Whatever delectable bakery items you choose to create this year will be greatly appreciated. We will start setting up in the Harmony Room at Noon on Saturday, April 1. You can deliver your bakery items at any time after noon on Sat., or before both Masses on Sun., April 2.
As you might know, we have a special new project in the works at our Parish this year. We would love to help our children and teachers to reach their goal for new school windows. All proceeds from our bake sale will be donated to our school to assist with the expenses for the much-needed new windows. Please help us to make a difference, and give your generosity a new purpose this year. Remember we make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.
God bless,
Marilyn, Carol & Bootsie

HOLY COMMUNION UNDER BOTH SPECIES
As we approach Easter, we plan to offer the Body and Blood of Christ under both species to the faithful at Mass on Holy Thursday and Easter Vigil. Additionally, if you are a person who routinely prefers to receive communion on the tongue, please approach Father or one of the Deacons down the center aisle only. The same will apply when the cup returns, they will be offered down the center aisle at Mass only. Thank you for understanding.
