We will have Adoration and Stations of the Cross followed by Benediction

this Wednesday, March 22. Adoration will begin following the 12:10 p.m. Mass

and will continue until the Stations of the Cross, which begin at 7:00 p.m. It is

very important to have people in the church continuously during this time. If

you would like to volunteer to remain in the church for one-hour increments,

please see the sign up sheet in the back of church. We need at least two volun-

teers in the church at all times.

Our parish Lenten Penance Service will be on Tuesday, March 28th at 7:00 p.m. We hope you will plan to attend this special service.
