CHILDREN’S LITURGY has decided to team up with Development and Peace for their Lenten Project.  They have kindly given each child a beautifully illustrated calendar which the entire family can use to enrich their journey during the Lenten Season.  A sample is posted on the board at the front of the Church.  Should you have any further questions, please drop into the parish hall before the 11:30 Mass and meet with one of our teachers. 

 

SCRUTINIES: On the 3rd, 4th and 5th Sundays of Lent - March 7, 14 and 21 - our parish community joins in special prayers, called “scrutinies”, which help all of us to examine our lives and to heal all that is weak and strengthen all that is upright, strong and good.  These prayers have special significance for those preparing to receive the Sacrament of the Baptism and others preparing for the Sacraments of Initiation (RCIA).  We will be using the alternate “Scrutiny” readings at all Masses for those Sundays.  These readings are found on page 195, page 209 and page 22 in the Sunday Missal.  The scrutiny prayers will take place during the Saturday 4:30 pm Mass on each of the three weekends.  Thank you for your support, encouragement and prayers as our RCIA elect and candidates prepare for the Sacraments of Initiation at the Easter Vigil
