3 FIFTH SUNDAY OF LENT MARCH 18, 2018 Our Lady of Mercy Happenings HOLY LAND GIFTS will be on display following all Masses on March 24th and 25th. The display includes handmade hand carved articles such as nativity scenes, crucifixes, rosaries, the last supper and many other beautiful religious articles. Because of the conflict in the region, many Christian families in Bethlehem are struggling to make ends meet. Holy Land Gifts represent over 100 Christian families whom make a living selling traditional olive wood handcrafts and religious articles. When you purchase one of the beautiful gifts, you are helping artisans in the Holy Land provide for their families and live and work with dignity in a region fraught with tension and oppression. Thank you for supporting this project to keep Christians present in the Holy Land, the birth place of Jesus. May God Bless You!

Pictured here are some lions in the morning Nursery class.
