From Don D. of the Liturgy Committee:
I am reaching out to you as leaders of many of our Parish Life groups in hopes that you might be able to assist the Liturgy Committee with finding volunteers to participate in the Holy Thursday Evening Mass of the Lord's Supper and Transfer of the Most Blessed Sacrament.
Each year we reach out to various groups and organizations to help us recruit volunteers for the Ceremonial Washing of Feet during Mass. I know that many of you may have participated yourselves in this ceremony in past years and you know how important this ceremony is to the Catholic Faith and its significance in the Holy Thursday Mass.
Jesus washed the feet of His disciples at the Last Supper as a sign of the new commandment that Christians should love one another: “such as my love has been for you, so must your love be for one another. This is how all will know you for my disciples; by your love for one another” (John 13, 34-35). For centuries, the church has imitated the Lord in the ceremonial washing of feet on Holy Thursday.
We are hoping that you might be able to identify one or even two people from your group that might be able to join us by participating in the ceremony this year. Children are also welcome, and last year Michael's daughters participated.
The instructions are very simple and we will have coordinators in the Sacristy before Mass to review the instructions. I have also attached a copy of the instruction sheet that might be helpful.
Finally, for any volunteers we are having a rehearsal for Holy Thursday Mass this Saturday March 19th at 1:30 in the Church. This is not mandatory for those having their foot washed, but certainly they are welcome to attend and relieve any anxiety they might have.
Thank you for your assistance and please email Don at donaldfdelaneyjr@gmail.com if you are interested in participating.

From John McCulla
Our Annual Parish Lenten Fish Fry is fast approaching – just a couple of weeks away on March 11th, 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm.
I am writing to ask again for your help at the Fish Fry by volunteering for one shift during the event. This will leave ample time in the evening to enjoy a great fish dinner and the fellowship of your friends and pew-mates!
Many of you have volunteered for the “Fry” before and enjoyed it. I hope you will assist this year, too! Please ask your spouse to help, too!
For those of you that will be serving for the first time, you will have a lot of fun, you will provide service to your fellow parishioners, and you will help make the evening a grand success! And, Monsignor WANTS YOU TO HELP!
Please email John at jkmcculla@comcast.net to volunteer!
Thank you for helping in any area at the Fish Fry! I look forward to hearing back from you!
Best,
John
