This weekend, we welcome back our lay missionaries from the Missionary Servants of the Word. Sister Alejandra García Arevalo has returned to us, accompanied by a new missionary, Sister Jeanette Aide Lara. Please welcome them, and continue to pray for them as they continue their important ministry of evangelization.
On Sunday, April 28, the Knights will have a make-up breakfast for the 5th Sunday of March, which was Easter Sunday. Please join the Knights in celebrating our parish community, and supporting the Birthright of Beckley, who will receive the proceeds.
If you would like to donate money for Easter Flowers, please mark your envelope “Easter Flowers” and drop in the weekend collection. Include the names of the people you would like to remember.
