It may be Lent, however, two very special Feast Days are observed this week.  Monday is the solemn feast of St. Patrick.  It has special significance for us as St. Patrick is the Principal Co-Patron of our Archdiocese (St. Francis of Assisi shares the title).  Wednesday is the solemn feast of St. Joseph, Patron of the Universal Church.  Masses both days at 7:00 AM and 12:05 PM.

Mark your calendars for our two-part Lenten series:  Monday, March 24 and Monday, March 31.  Dr. Nicklaus Hohmann will introduce us to great Saints, St. Benedict, and St. Francis of Assisi and St. Clare.  Presentations will be in the Siena Room at 7:00 PM.
