Since we have missed so many classes, I continue to remind you to read the book Rediscovering Jesus, which I gave you at the January 17th Class. If you did not receive your book yet, please contact me and I will make arrangement to get it to you.

CLASS WORK

If you have missed several sessions of Religious Education, please remember that I prepared folders for you to do your classes at home. They were left in the vestibule of the Church. If you did not yet pick yours up, please do so as soon as possible so that you can keep up with your classes.

 

Thank you for your kind attention to the announcements above.

God Bless you,

ARISE SMALL FAITH SHARING GROUPS will once again be established for Season Five of Arise, but not during the Lenten Season.  Small Faith Sharing Group will meet during the Easter Season beginning the weeks of April 11, 18, 25, May 2, May 9 and May 16.  We will have Sign up during the First and Second weeks of Lent to allow us sufficient time to order materials. 

WE ARE SEEKING SMALL GROUP LEADERS If you would like to volunteer for this ministry, please contact Sr. Linda as soon as possible to set you day of the week and the time so that sign up sheets can be prepared for sign up during the Lenten Season.  

Doing our Small Groups during the Easter Season allows us to have more time for people to get their vaccine and to hopefully secure the safety of participants.  

We will celebrate the Closing of Arise Together in Christ at an Outdoor Mass at the Shrine of Our Lady of the Alleghenies at 7:00 p.m. on June 6.  Please mark this date on your calendars and plan to attend.  Also, please pray for good weather.
