Lent

Lenten Observations

All Maronites, who are physically able, are to abstain from meat on Ash Monday and all Fridays of Lent. In addition, Ash Monday and the Great Friday of the Crucifixion are also days of fasting. Fasting in the Maronite Church means eating and drinking nothing at all (except water and medicine) from midnight until noon. The rest of the day normal meals can be taken, but without meat. All Maronites, who are physically able, are to fast on these two days.


Easter Bouquet

Plants for Easter

It's time to order plants for Easter. They can be dedicated in memory or honor of loved ones. The plants will be used to adorn the altar for the Easter Liturgies on Saturday & Sunday. You may then take them home following the 10 am liturgy on Easter Sunday.

Please consider purchasing plants to celebrate the glory of Easter here at church and in your homes. They make wonderful gifts and centerpieces for your Easter table.

Order forms and envelopes can be found in the Narthex and church office. The order form with payment included can be placed in envelopes provided and dropped in the church office mail slot. Last day to submit orders is Sunday, March 23.

If you have any questions, please email Ann Benson at akbbenson@gmail.com 

   


Office of Priestly Vocations
Grace and peace to you in Christ! The Office of Priestly Vocations of the Eparchy of Our Lady of Lebanon of Lebanon is excited to announce the launch of the Virtual Maronite Men’s Discernment Group, an initiative designed to support and guide men discerning a possible call to the Sacred Priesthood. This program will provide a space for young men across our Eparchy to grow in fraternity, share their vocational journeys, and receive spiritual guidance through virtual gatherings. Through Zoom and WhatsApp, participants will meet once/twice a month, engaging in discussions on priestly discernment, Maronite spirituality, and the call to holiness. Clergy and mentors will provide pastoral support, reflections, and practical guidance to help them navigate this important decision. This is a unique opportunity for men to deepen their relationship with Christ and gain clarity in their discernment while being part of a vibrant community of men!

For more information or to sign up, interested participants can contact Chorbishop Don Sawyer at frdsawyer@outlook.com or use the QR code to be added into the group.


Faith Formation Program
Faith Formation classes will take place every week at church. Children in second grade, or preparing for First Communion, must attend in order to make their First Communion. Please contact Nikki Abbott for more information or with questions.


MYA Corner
Attention, all young people, ages 18 – 35, please come join the MYA group the second Thursday of the month at church. Contact Annemarie Schwery or Eddie Mueller with questions.


MYO Corner
A huge thank you from the MYO for your support of their annual wreath fundraiser, which will benefit Holy Family Parish, and for your overwhelming support throughout the year of the various fundraising events sponsored by the MYO. Thank you again and may you have a very Merry Christmas. God bless you all.


Family Sponsored Breakfasts

Please consider hosting a breakfast. It’s not only fun but an opportunity to support your Church and interact with your church community. If your family is small or you want assistance in doing one, please contact either Vicki Whebbe (651-295-8100) or Pat Anderson (612-210-6656). If not, you can still support church by an additional donation of the cost you would have spent on sponsoring or partaking in a breakfast. Thanks to all for your continued support. God bless you.
