Dear Friend,
Easter continues! Happy Easter!
As a parish community, we're continuing the crescendo of hope that comes from Christ's rising form the dead by joining in with our neighboring parish, Saint Benedict, for the annual joint-parish mission this Sunday, Monday at Tuesday (April 21-23).
Entitled, "Stories of Hope," we will hear from a number of speakers including University of Notre Dame Professor, Dr. Leonard DeLorenzo as he shares with us the way in which God's revelation comes to us through the stories we share. We hope you'll join us!
More information and key notifications for Saint Andrew Parish are listed below.
Easter Parish Mission with Saint Benedict Parish
Our annual Joint Parish Mission with Saint Benedict Parish will be a three-night event starting on Sunday, April 21, 2024 at Saint Benedict Parish (main church) from 3:30pm to 5:00pm and followed by two nights of sharing on April 22 and 23 at Mrs. Murphy and Son's Irish Bistro at 7:00pm. Entitled "Stories of Hope" we will hear witness testimony of how God is touching the lives of fellow parishioners and begetting hope in the midst of our daily challenges. The Parish Mission will feature guest speaker Dr. Leonard DeLorenzo, Ph.D from Notre Dame University. Make your plans to join for our annual formation event.
Join us this Sunday, April 21, 2024 for the monthly Family Mass. Our youth choir will sing, youth will participate in the Mass and Father will give a homily just for the children. Join us afterwards for Coffee and Donuts in the gymnasium. Come and bring the whole family!
Become a Eucharistic Minister
We're in need of communion ministers! A training session for new communion ministers will be held on Tuesday, April 30 at 6:30 PM in the Church. The training takes less than an hour, and, once trained, the schedule is very flexible. This is a great way to serve your community, and your help is greatly needed. Please RSVP to Deacon Mark, mark@standrew.org. Also let Mark know if you can't make Tuesday but are interested in becoming a communion minister so we can schedule additional training opportunities.
Holy Water Bottles
Thanks to the generosity of a fellow parishioner, Holy Water Bottles have been prepared for each household to have. When you come to church on Sunday, please feel free to pick up a bottle. They have been filled with Holy Water from this year's Easter Font.
For your convenience, we've included a copy of the Sunday bulletin below.
We're called to participate fully in Mass by engagement with our mind, our heart, and our lived experiences through and with each other. Each week, a catechist from Saint Andrew invites us to join in the conversation question asked in our "Celebrating Sunday Mass with Families 2023-24" book from Liturgy Training Publications.
