More Announcements -The Legion of Mary is promoting the singing of the Divine Mercy Chaplet after the Saturday evening Mass next weekend. The Lord revealed to St. Faustina this powerful prayer for everyone to say, especially for the dying, and He promised extraordinary graces to those who would recite this special prayer. However, due to Confirmation on Divine Mercy Sunday, there will be no singing of this Chaplet after any of the Masses, though there will be prayer cards available for you to do so on your own. -"The passion of our Lord overflows, as an inestimable privilege, into the bodies of the sinless and the saintly in order to conform them ever more perfectly to His own likeness." You are welcome to our Legion of Mary meetings to discuss and learn more about sentences like this one from the Legion Handbook. Join us on Fridays at noon in the CCD room off of the parish hall kitchen! -Knitting & Crochet Group: Meetings of the knitting and crochet group will be every 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month from 9:30-11:00 a.m. in the parish hall.
