Lenten devotions during the pandemic

March 24th, 2020 | Posted by admin in Uncategorized - (Comments Off on Lenten devotions during the pandemic)

You may recall we had planned to continue our custom of Wednesday evening United Lenten Devotions moving from church to church. The Covid-19 pandemic, though, has frustrated that intention.  Our neighbouring parishes, however, will  hold Wednesday evening Lenten devotions via Zoom on the internet. An information sheet here will provide you with the information to join the devotion live on your computer.  The next on line service is scheduled for March 25, 2020 at 7:00 pm. The text for the service can be found here. Please join us in this devotion!
