PIANISTS AND SINGERS NEEDED FOR SUNDAY 8 AM CHOIR
The 8 am Sunday Mass choir needs a new pianist(s) beginning in May as, after many years of service, our pianist Fanny is moving on. If you play the piano, please consider volunteering. Or if you know someone who would be interested, please pass this request along. We are also looking for additional singers to join the choir. To volunteer to play or sing, or for further information, please email Don Taylor at dsrtaylor@gmail.com.

The Stations of the Cross will be at 7:00 pm every Friday during Lent. There will be no confessions on Friday evenings.

The Little books for Lent contain short meditations for each day of Lent and are available for sale in the lobby of the Church for $3.00 each.
