St. Andrew Bulletin - March 8
Remember your compassion, O Lord, and your merciful love, for they are from of old. Let not our enemies exult over us. Redeem us, O God of Israel, from all our distress. cf. Psalm 25 (24):6, 2, 22.
WEEKDAY MASS SCHEDULE: THERE WILL BE NO DAILY MASSES THIS WEEK (MARCH 9-13). PLEASE SEE BELOW FOR ADDITIONAL SCHEDULE INFORMATION.
Please remember that the noise from the narthex carries directly into the church even when the doors are closed. As there are those in the church praying silently or meditating in preparation for Mass, please be as quiet as possible when you enter the front doors of the building.
Upcoming Schedule Information: Fr. Fred will be out of town on vacation tomorrow, March 9, through Friday, March 13. During this week, there will be no daily Masses at St. Andrew or Sacred Heart and the Parish Office will be closed. If anyone should experience a sacramental emergency while Fr. Fred is out of town, please call St. Eugene Catholic Church, 72 Culvern Street, North Asheville (828 254-5193), or the Basilica of St. Lawrence in downtown Asheville (828 252-6042).
At 5:00 p.m. each Friday of Lent, Stations of the Cross will be led by Lynda Webb. What better devotional than to gather together during this holy season of Lent focusing on our Lord’s journey to Calvary.
Following next Sunday’s Mass, March 15, there will be a meeting of St. Andrew’s Guild. Everyone is invited and encouraged to attend this meeting to learn more about the Guild.
Even if Spring is just
around the corner, there is still the possibility of winter weather. Here is just a reminder how to find out if a
Mass is being canceled: (1) the announcement
banner on WLOS-13; (2) the parish website, standrew-sacredheart.org; (3)
global email notification; or (4) a message on the Parish Office telephone, 828
689-3719.

If we give according to God's principles, God will give back to us. The young man, who gave his loaves and fishes to help feed the multitude, did not have to go without dinner.
