Our celebration of this Carnival season ends with the rapidly-approaching celebration of Mardi Gras!
Plan to join us as we celebrate Fat Tuesday this year in style on February 24 at 6:30pm.
It’s a pot-luck festivity, so it’s time to start thinking about what you’d like to bring. Make your most decadent and lusty dishes, because this festival has to carry us through the entire austere season of Lent!
Sign up sheets for the pot-luck dinner will be at the entrances of the Church.
Included with the pot-luck dinner will be the selection of prayer partners for Lent.
Plan on attending and remember to take this opportunity to show off your crazy hats and beads!
You are invited to gather with family and friends for the funeral of Edward Kayan at Sacred Heart on Monday, February 16 at 10:30am.
