Doing Lent Differently50¢ A MEAL
Their new priest, Reverend Frederic Menelas, attended seminary with Mother Cindy and has asked for our help in feeding the students. He would like to be able to provide one meal a day. It costs $75 a day to feed 150 students, that’s 50¢ a meal. Are you ready to do Lent differently by making a discipline of sharing some of your resources to help feed these kids? There are several ways that you can help out: you can collect 50¢ in lunch bags provided by Mother Cindy, for every person around the table every time you have a meal, you can write a check to the church with “Doing Lent Differently” in the memo, or you can use our PayPal portal by following the link below. We’ll collect the money on Easter and see how many meals we can provide for these kids!

Adam, to ensure we have enough kits for everyone. Pysanky Egg Workshop: March 3 – 9:00 AMBack by popular demand, this is your opportunity to learn about the ancient Ukranian art of Pysanky Egg decorating and to make your very own egg. Like writing an icon, creating these unique eggs is a form of prayer and a traditional Lenten activity. Kits cost $25, please reserve a spot in advance by contacting Fr. Adam. This is an activity for adults and children 13 and older. St. Joseph’s Table: March 19 – 6:00 PMSt. Joseph, the spouse of the Virgin Mary, is honored on March 19. Just as the Irish celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, it is a tradition for many cultures to celebrate St. Joseph’s Day and, for those of Italian descent, to do this with a festive meal and a St. Joseph’s Table laden with foods. As a way of honoring this Saint and of bringing us together for a social time in Lent, we will celebrate St. Joseph’s Day on Monday, March 19, with a meal beginning at 6 pm.
