Fr.

The Parish Office will be closed Holy Thursday and Good Friday, April 18 and 19.

Following today’s Mass, we need volunteers to help us prepare our church for Holy Week.  This includes moving statutes, votive candle stands, and draping the crucifix, among other things.

After many, many months of study, Aubrey Stille, Trey Penland, Diego Ortiz, and Francisco Macias, will be entering in to Full Communion with the Church at this year’s Easter Vigil, next Saturday, April 20, 7:30 p.m. at St. Andrew.  Please pray for all of them and for all of those throughout the world who are moving forward to receive for the first time the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.
