4:00-7:30 p.m. in MPH hall |
“Once again I want to really thank everyone who made the first seafood buffet at MPH a great success. It was great to see so many parishioners (and others!) working together. I pray that we can make this Friday’s seafood buffet another equally successful event. I know it is a lot of work, so we really depend on a lot a people to turn out and help. If you weren’t on a work list, I assure you it was completely unintentional; just come and your help will be greatly appreciated.
“Remember Mass locations change next weekend!
“We are moving quickly through Lent – soon Holy Week will be upon us (and my departure)! I hope everyone has the Great Easter Triduum on your calendars (April 17, 18 & 19th) and are making plans to attend. Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday are the great days of our salvation. By Christ’s passion and resurrection we are redeemed! We should want to commemorate and celebrate them – giving thanks that God so loved us, that He would send his Son to die and rise for us. Let us faithfully come together as one faith family for these three celebrations as they are joint celebrations of both Assumption and MPH parishes.”...Fr. Dave
