Many Christians in the Holy Land depend on this Special Pontifical Collection. It offers a direct link for people of our diocese to be witnesses for peace, supporting parishes and schools, outreach to the poor, welcome to pilgrims, maintenance of the shrines, and conducting pastoral ministry in the land of Our Lord. Please help by giving to the collection on Good Friday. 500 Club The winning number drawn for 3/19 was 794. Unfortunately no one currently owns that number so this week we are unable to give away any money. In the next few weeks renewals will be mailed. We hope that all of our members will renew so that our organization can continue to do things to make our Parish a better place to worship. Also, in the near future there will be an insert in the weekly bulletin which can be used to purchase a number, thereby joining in the weekly fun and helping to fund the work of our organization.
