Announcements
Bright Week
Christ is Risen! Indeed He is Risen! Christós voskrése! Vo-ístinu voskrése! May the risen Christ bestow peace, health and happiness in this joyous season to all peoples of the world; especially St. Athanasius parishioners, guests, friends, neighbors and acquaintances. Our renewed spirit, honed by our diligence during the Great Fast, will continue to strengthen us to spread the Good News of Christ’s victory over Satan. Let us go forth and proclaim to others the truth of the Catholic faith through both word and deed – it’s God’s directive. As Fr. Sid has stated, “We have a good God” and “We have Holy Spirit power!” Sow plenty of positive, optimistic seed to all, every day, so that we can foster an upbeat and encouraging community. As we do for others, we do for ourselves. God has made it a win-win solution!
Events Calendar
- Easter Basket Blessing will follow services today. Then we are having a feast eating from the baskets.
- The next Ancient Healing Service is Wednesday, April 11 at 7 PM. Tell your friends.
Food Pantry
To meet the continuing need of our local neighbors we are asking for non-perishable food and hygiene items (or money to purchase them) from you. During the Great Fast almsgiving is highlighted as a virtuous activity. Now that the Pascal season is started we need to continue donating to the poor. The St. Athanasius Church food pantry is one such outlet. Please be generous in this important ministry to those in need.
Easter Bake Goods
Thanks to those who helped with baking over the last few weeks. If you’re lucky we may have just what you want for your Easter season. Be sure to ask John to see what we have in stock for you.
