During Lent, Father David offers an additional daily Mass at 5:30pm. From Monday-Thursday there will be an additional confession time at 6pm.  Please note: due to confirmation on March 25, there will not be 5:30pm Mass or 6pm confession. If you wish to attend an evening Mass that night both Holy Family and St. Thomas offer Mass at 5:30pm as well.

Men’s Club meets Thursday, March 12 at 6pm at Jimmy’s.

Please pray for our second graders who receive the sacrament of reconciliation for this first time this week.

How can you contribute to CRS Rice Bowl this Lent? Think about ordering a medium coffee instead of a large, and put the difference in your Rice Bowl. Or put in a dollar for each week of Lent—for example on the 2nd Sunday of Lent, put in $2. Maybe on a given day, contribute 25 cents for each time you use running water or lights that day. To watch this week’s video, go to our website https://www.stphils.com/church/crs-rice-bowl-second-week-of-lent/
