Liturgy
ALL SERVERS, LECTORS & EUCHARISTIC             MINISTERS:
If you are in need of any change for the next  schedule, April 13 - June 15, changes are now due. You may enter your change order in the three-ring folder located just outside the upper sacristy on the table. Changes must be left in the book. Please do not call, or leave your change on slips of paper. Enter your change only in the book, please. This will ensure that your change will be notated. If you are only in need of one or two weekends away, you do not need to enter a change. If you are needing to be removed from the schedule, you must notate this on the change order form, or you will be rescheduled. Many thanks!

PALM BRAIDS AND BRANCHES
Please return your blest palms from last Palm Sunday for our annual preparation for ashes this Ash Wednesday. Palms may be left on the table just outside the upper sacristy.

Are you in need of some quiet time?  Consider spending a peaceful hour with Our Lord present in the Holy Sacrament in the Cenacle.  Many hours, especially night time hours, have only one adorer.  There is now a  board on the table across from the Cenacle showing hours when adorers are needed.  Please sign up there or call Dorothy at (651) 636-1660 or Jerry at (651) 636-2054.
