The Annual Diocesan Appeal: All that we have and all that we are comes from the Lord. “We are truly his handiwork,” says St. Paul in the second reading, “created in Christ Jesus to lead a life of good deeds which God prepared for us in advance. Today is our parish’s 2023 in-pew weekend. In the past weeks you might have received a letter from Bishop Marshall asking for your support of the annual appeal. After the homily parishioners who have not yet pledged to the ADA will have an opportunity to join with Catholics throughout the Diocese of Alexandria to support the diocesan church by filling out an in- pew envelope and turning it in to the collection basket or to the church office.


Easter Lily Commemorations: envelopes are available at all the doors of the Church to make your Easter Lily Commemorations. The requested donation of $10 goes to offset the cost of the lilies that will decorate our altars for Easter. You may include on the envelope as many intentions you would like for the living, the dead, or to remember a life event (birthday, anniversary, etc.). All these intentions will be offered up at the Easter Octave Masses that will be celebrated by Fr. Laird during the 8 days of Easter. You can drop your envelope into any of the collections or bring it to Liz in the parish office.


Knights of Columbus: Next meeting scheduled for March 29. Palm Sunday Dinner Tickets are available at Bordelon’s Superette or from the Knights themselves. Ticket money must be turned in to the officers’ meeting at Chez Maison on Monday, March 27, at 6:15pm.
