Announcements
The Great Fast
Clear your evening calendar for Holy Week, April 18-23. The liturgies Monday – Thursday and Good Friday’s Vespers & Burial Service will be at 7. Reading of the Passion Gospels will be at noon on Good Friday. Saturday’s Resurrection Matins are at 5 PM. Easter Sunday Liturgy is 10 AM.
The Mystery of Reconciliation (Confession) is important to repair your relationship with God. Repentance is acknowledging that you can do better, resolving not to repeat the offense, and reversing the harmful effects of the wrong where possible. Absolution, conferred by the priest wearing his stole, will wipe the slate clean and shine up your tarnished soul. Fr. Sid makes himself available on any day, when he can, if you call ahead for an appointment.
Another shipment of good books came in this week. Many are below list price. Take a look and pick out a few to buy. Then take time during the week to immerse yourself in a good spiritual book.
Food Pantry
Items for the food pantry are very low. Please donate as a means of almsgiving to the poor. If you don’t know what to bring then call the rectory or donate money so we can use scrip cards to buy the food. Thank you for your generosity.
