Dear Friend,
Ever since Lent has begun, we have felt the Holy Spirit's momentum touching the lives of so many around Saint Andrew! We've seen it in the earnest piety of so many on Ash Wednesday, increased number of devotees at the Stations of the Cross on Friday, and the largest parish fish fry that we've had in years!
It's not too late to make the most of your Lenten journey. We'd love to join with you in prayer at the Stations of the Cross (Fridays at 6:30pm) or at our Lenten Taize Service (see below). And we hope you'll make a special effort to join our evenings of reflection and renewal at the Parish Mission. Let's all do what we can so that when Easter Sunday comes, we can all see the transformation that has taken in root in our lives through the practice of Lent!
Key notifications for the week ahead at Saint Andrew Parish are listed below.
Taizé Prayer Service
As we journey through the sacred season of Lent, we invite you to join us for a special Taizé prayer service on March 26, 2025, at 7:00 PM in the church.
This service will offer a serene and contemplative atmosphere, enriched with meditative chants, scripture readings, and silent prayer. It is an opportunity to deepen our spiritual connection and prepare our hearts for the celebration of Easter. We hope you can join us for this peaceful and spiritually nourishing experience.
Joint Parish Mission
Join us for two nights of spiritual renewal as we welcome Angela Scaperlanda Bujan to speak at the annual Parish Mission held with Saint Benedict Parish.

The talks will be held on Sunday, March 30, 2025 from 6:00pm to 7:30om and on Monday, March 31, 2025 from 6:30pm to 8:00pm held in the parish chapel - 3557 N. Hermitage.
