Bingo Fish Fry Sun at 1 pm & Wed at 6:30 pm Friday 4:30 pm Candy Donations: Please donate candy to fill eggs for the Easter Egg Hunt/Party. A box will be in the back of church for donations. Thank you! Easter Egg Hunt/Party: We will be having our Annual Easter Egg Hunt/Party on Saturday, March 24 at 10:00 am at the Parish Hall for children up to age 9. The Easter Bunny will appear for pictures! Entering a Catholic Church: Upon entering or leaving a Catholic Church many Catholics genuflect by bending their right knee to the floor or perform a more ancient practice of making a profound bow (bowing from the waist). These gestures are done while facing the tabernacle as a sign of reverence to the Real Presence of Jesus present in the consecrated Hosts. St. Joseph, pray for us. Catholic Home Study: Catholic Home Study offers 9 books written by a priest in a simple-to -read format that educates, informs and inspires all those who want to better understand the Catholic faith. These books can be read in several formats including online or in book form. To learn more go to: https:// www.catholichomestudy.org Total Forgiveness: Let us not forget this word: God never, ever tires of forgiving us! The problem is that we tire; we do not want to ask; we grow weary of asking for forgiveness. God never tires of forgiving, but at times we get tired of asking for forgiveness. Pope Francis Gift Shop: We have a few items you may purchase at the parish office. Theses include: rosaries, scapulars, holy water bottles, prayer books, bibles, auto medals and more.
