OUR PARISH RECONCILIATION SERVICE IS:
This Wednesday, April 10th, 2019
at 7:00pm
COME JOIN US! This will be an evening to experience the
forgiving presence of God in the Sacrament of
Reconciliation.
The Lord knows that we are all halfway there and many times we
need this, to hear these words: ‘Come, don’t be frightened, come.
There is forgiveness.’
And this encourages us to go to the Lord with an open heart. It
is the Father who awaits us.”
-Pope Francis

Saint Angela Merici AMA UPDATE
We are so close to our $110,00 goal, which will be matched by
a
generous donor.
As a Faith Formation Community, students, families, and
catechist in our Tuesday Youth and Sunday Teen Confirmation
Classes have been collecting their spare change. In three short
weeks, we’ve raised $500.00 IN ROLLABLE COIN AND CASH.
A huge thank you to all of you!
Remember, all of the monies donated will go to the St. Angela
Merici Women’s Fund to help women in need in our parish.
Let’s keep going! With one more week to collect change,
let’s have a strong finish! -Jordan

THE GOOD SHEPHERD Olivewood handcrafted from the Holy Land
A traditional Art and Livelihood for Holy Land Christians
The Olivewood carving industries has evolved as a cultural
tradition of the Christians over many centuries.
Many Holy Land Christians in the Bethlehem area alone rely upon
income generated from this art form. The items are carved by local
craftsmen.
Many families are facing critical situations. Without income,
many craftsmen and families leave their
traditional trade and emigrate with their families to find
relief from the difficult conditions of their Homeland.
Christian presence in the Holy Land has extended from the first
Pentecost to the present. Sixty years ago,
Christians represented more than 28% of the population and now
represent less than 2%. The loss of Christians in the land of
Christianity’s birth will represent a tragedy of immeasurable
proportions for the
billions of Christians worldwide. Than you for your vital
support for a Christian Tradition and in protecting this very
important culture and industry.
On Palm Sunday—April 13th and 14th— after Mass, take some
time
to browse these amazing olivewood creations and help to support
our Christian brothers and sisters in the Holy Land.
