Confession
On the inside of the bulletin you can see that Father Sid is available to hear confessions 1 hour prior to liturgy and immediately following the liturgy. This week he will be even more available. Father is encouraging everyone to make a good confession during the Great Fast. Call for an appointment.
2011-2012 Stewardship Appeal
Have you submitted your pledge or payment for Bishop John’s annual appeal? Our parish goal is $1,400. Thus far we have pledges totaling $968 and $823 collected. Can we reach our pledged goal before the Great Fast ends this week? It will be a good gesture to Bishop John that as many families as possible donate even a small amount in gratefulness for providing the new icon screen to our parish.
Second Collection
To help defray the cost of various building work projects we are taking 2nd collections. Thanks for your generosity.
