Easter Flowers

Mass offered for those named

At Easter, flowers are abundant in the

Church as a sign of new life and hope.

The white lilies represent the miracle of

the Resurrection. Their beauty is a comfort. There are

special envelopes for flowers in your donation-packet. If

you put the donation in the name of someone living or

dead there is a special Mass by which they may receive

the graces from that infinite sacrifice.

If you do not have a donation packet with the special

envelope, just place at least $10 in an envelope and

mention the name of the person you want remembered.

The special Mass for the intentions of all these folks will

be at the Mass on Saturday, April 22nd at 4pm. Consider

providing for these flowers in the name of a loved one

and attending the Mass too, if you can!

Pray for our Candidates Please pray for our RCIA members, Christopher

Judkins, Samantha Judkins, and Christopher Russ they

are in their last week of preparation. Please come to the

Easter Vigil to support and pray for them as they enter full

communion with the Catholic Church.
