1. The Altar & Rosary Society will collect pantry staples for the annual Poor Clare Shower this Sunday through Sunday the 26th. A list of needed items is available on the bulletin boards, in the bulletin, and on parish media. Please inform an usher at Mass or the office during the week if you are bringing food that needs refrigeration. Thank you! 2. Please pray for the children who will receive their First Holy Communion today at 2 PM, and for the teens and adults who will receive their Confirmation on April 23 at 6 PM. 3. Next weekend, we will have the second collection for the Catholic Home Missions Appeal, which provides funds for a wide range of pastoral services, including evangelization, religious education, and the maintenance of mission parishes, the training of seminarians and lay ministers, and ministry with ethnic groups. Our own diocese benefits from this appeal that is happening in churches throughout the country. Thank you for all your donations.
