Dear IHM Family,
Please note the following upcoming events:
SoMD Spring Festival (May 4-7)
Holy Face Church is hosting the annual Southern Maryland Spring Festival at the county fairgrounds now (it started last night). Fun for the whole family: rides, games, food, Laser Tag, ax throwing, chain saw sculptor, tractor pull, car show, yard sale, crafts, and more. See the flyer at the bottom of this e-mail for more information.
May Crowning (May 7)
We will have our annual May crowning just before the 11:15 am Mass this Sunday. All children are invited to participate in the procession (line up in the the parish hall at 11 am). They can also make a floral offering to Mary (single flowers or simple bouquets only, please).
Mother's Day Breakfast (May 14)
The Knights of Columbus invite you to a Mother's Day Fellowship Breakfast on Sunday, May 14 from 9 am to noon. The menu includes scrambled eggs, pancakes with a variety of fruit toppings, bacon and sausage. Donations from this event will support an upgrade to our sign by Three Notch Rd.
First Communion and Confirmation Masses
We will have our First Communion Mass on Saturday, May 13 at 4 pm. It should not add any significant time to the length of the Mass. Our Confirmation Mass will be on May 27 at the 4 pm Mass. The Confirmation Mass will be longer than usual (probably 20-30 minutes). Everyone is welcome and invited to attend those Masses to help welcome our young people to a fuller participation in the People of God through the sacraments of initiation. We also understand that some might want to adjust their post-Mass plans on the 27th.
Scam Warning
Someone is pretending to be Fr. Marco and sending out text messages and e-mails from accounts and phone numbers that are not his. He does not ask individuals for gift cards. The only time we might ask for gift cards would be publicly (at Mass, for example), such as for the Advent Giving Tree. If you receive an individual message asking for a gift card, please ignore it.
God bless,
Fr. Marco
