Liturgy Committee Request - Holy Thursday Foot Washing

Please see the email below from Brooke B of the Liturgy Committee.

Please email Brooke at brkbll@gmail.com to help out.

Good evening Men's Ministry Team,

As part of our parish's Triduum celebration we will include a foot washing on Holy Thursday - the Evening Mass of the Lord’s Supper and Transfer of the Most Blessed Sacrament. This practice, incorporated in many Catholic parishes across the world, is a beautiful sign of humility and service. 

Father Ken and Father Godfred will wash the feet of twelve volunteers at Mass on Holy Thursday evening - March 28th at 7:00 PM. Further instruction will be provided to volunteers. We're asking if the Men's Ministry would be willing to recruit a member to join this group of twelve. Please reply to me or Don D with your representative by March 15th.

Thank you for the good work you do for our parish and for your consideration of this request. 

Regards,

Brooke B
