LENT Dear Parishioners As we continue the season of

Lent, we have an opportunity to symbolize our acts of almsgiving, charity, prayer and mercy. When you perform one of these acts we invite you to place a leaf (supplied at base) on the tree next to the altar. You can place as many as you want as you fulfill these acts. I am sure by Easter our tree will be full of our acts of kindness. God Bless. Fr. Xavier.

MASSES DURING THE LENTEN SEASON

Regular mass schedule will continue with the addition of a 7:00 pm Mass each Friday. _______________________________________________

STATIONS OF THE CROSS Stations will be celebrated on Fridays during Lent following the 7:00 pm mass lead by different ministries using different forms of the Way of the Cross. (No stations on Good Friday) _______________________________________________

LIVING THE GOSPEL LOCALLY AND AROUND THE WORLD

“It is important that we continue to

support the ShareLife appeal, to

provide for the needs of the

marginalized both here in our communities and around

the world. Sometimes the results are obvious and

sometimes they’re invisible, but always they make a

tangible difference in the lives of the people we are

helping. Please prayerfully consider how you can be

supportive today on ShareLife Sunday.”

—Thomas Cardinal Collins, Archbishop of Toronto.

Today is ShareLife Sunday.

Precious Blood Parish Goal for 2018 is $71,000.00 Thank you for your generosity.
