Stewardship

Dawn Hengen

Lent is a time to practice actions of mercy and

love. One of the ways we can do that is by

trying to keep some spaces open in front of

the church for those who are handicapped.

Although currently we do not have designated

handicap parking in front of the church, if you

are able please consider trying to keep some

spaces in front of the church free for people

who are handicapped. Thank you for your

consideration.

Thank you to everyone that donated for the fellowship meal following Archbishop Don’s Masses on March 18 & 19.

When Jesus heard about the illness of His friend, Lazarus, He responded, “This illness is not to end in death; rather it is for God’s glory, that through it the Son of God may be

glorified.” Every aspect of our lives – our gifts as well as our sufferings – can, if surrendered to Christ, lead to blessing for others and ourselves.

See John 11:4
