This week… World Day of Prayer Holy Family is hosting the the upcoming world Day of Pray on Friday, March 8th at 1:30 pm. Everyone is invited to come out and be a part of this prayerful event. This year the theme is based on Ephesians 4: 1-3 “I beg you… Bear with one another in Love” The script has been written by Palestine Women and reflects their culture. Come learn and pray with Christians all around the world. Light refreshments will follow in the Lenhard Room
Adoration Chapel – compiling a substitutes list
It would be most advantageous for the operation of the chapel to have a compiled list of people who would like to sub in from time to time when there is a need. We appeal especially to those who cannot commit to a regular hour but would be open to a sub call. You are welcome to indicate your preference so inquiries meet your usual times of availability if that makes it more possible for you (ie: generally available mornings Mon – Thursday, or Wed evenings only, or prefer night hours)
Diocesan Wedding Anniversary Mass Sunday, May 26th at 1:30 pm at the Cathedral Basilica of Christ the King, Hamilton. It’s for couples celebrating an anniversary for 25, 40, 50, 60 or more years in 2024. Register online www.hamiltondiocese.com or at the parish office.
