Fatima is the most prominent approved apparition of the 20th century.

It became famous the world over, particularly for its three-part message or "secret."

We have events each month to help us increase our devotion to Our Lady; to encourage

the recitation of the Rosary; to adore our Lord in the Eucharist; to better understand the

importance of evangelization; and to grow closer with one another.

GOOD FRIDAY COLLECTION

Christians around the world are united in a

special way during Lent, Holy Week and

Easter. Our hearts, minds and prayers are

also especially aware of the Holy Land.

Our parish, once a year on Good Friday, is called on

to support Christians in the Holy Land. Many

Christians in the Holy Land depend on the collection

for their lives.

As a pontifical collection requested by Pope

Benedict XVI, the annual Good Friday Collection

offers a direct link for parishioners to be witnesses of

peace and to help protect the Holy Places. When you

donate on Good Friday, you are supporting

Christians in the Holy Land.

Franciscans and others in the Holy Land are housing

and feeding the poor, providing religious formation

and education, maintaining shrines and parishes, and

conducting pastoral ministry. For more information,

visit www.myfranciscan.org.

The Good Friday Collection is requested by the Holy

Father. Please be as generous as your abundance

allows.

SCHOOL MINISTRY NEWS

We had a wonderful auction last

weekend. Paddles were raised in

support of our partner school this year, Holy Family

Bilingual Catholic School. Our families raised over

$22,000 in support of their mission. Overall, the

evening was a huge success, and we are

overwhelmed with gratitude for the generous support

of our school. Thank you to Jennifer Wathen and her

team of volunteers for making the evening so

magical!

This year, on Good Friday, our 8th grade students

are excited to be leading the Station of the Cross in

our gym at 3pm. The students have worked hard to

prepare, and we hope you will join us in prayer.
