LENTEN PRAYER Loving God, we gather to-day to reflect on how we can be light for each other and for those in need. We thank you for the way you have led us, and for the trust you have in us that we will be that light for others, that we will bring your love to them. Gather us together to work for your justice.
RELIGIOUS ARTICLES FOR SALE In order to promote steady employment for the minority Christians in Bethlehem & Jerusalem, those families who carve the olive wood are seeking our support by purchasing their crafts only available next week in the church hall after the masses. The sale is our little way of assisting this community and supporting the last minority of Christians to be rooted in the Land of Christ. It is also a way of preserving a local cultural heritage which is in danger of being lost as a more Christians feel pressured to leave their homeland for economic and political reasons. We don’t accept any donations please. However, all types of payments are accepted.
