NEPAL
I don’t think I have to say anything about that, except that our sisters and brothers very much need our help . Next Sunday at all the Masses, a second collection will be gathered to do just that, help our suffering sisters and brothers. Please make your contribution payable to Blessed Sacrament and write Nepal in the memo.
COFFEE HOUR
Today, after the 10:00 and 11:00 am Masses we will have a Coffee Hour in the rectory.
MOTHER’S DAY
It is hard to believe that next week is Mother’s Day. Its coming just escaped me. A special Mother’s Day remembrace will be offered at the Masses and the names of our mothers and grandmothers will be placed in the sanctuary. Ifnyou wish to include the names of mothers important to you, we need to receive them by Thursday at 5:00pm. If you wish to do so, drop by the rectory and fill out an envelope with the names of mothers. If you wish, you may include an offering but it is not necessary.
