Annual Dinner - May 10

Brothers in Christ,

Please note, you'll soon be receiving an evite to the annual Band of Brothers dinner to be held on Saturday May 10th at 6:00 p.m.  This year marks the 10th year of the Band of Brothers and we wish to encourage all men who have attended at one time or another through the 10 years to join us in this event.  Many Brothers have moved away or for some other reason been unable to continue with the group, you are missed but not forgotten and it is our sincere hope you will reunite with us for this special night.  We are a Band of Brothers now and always and much like a family you are required to visit once in a while.
A slide show of the last ten years has been put together for this event and as I viewed it I realized how truly blessed we have been to have the Holy Spirit as our guide through this journey together. 

The dinner will be a potluck with the entree, drinks, appetizers, and incidentals funded by a $20.00 fee for couples and $10.00 for individuals.  Though the years this event has been an excellent opportunity to cater to our wives or significant other and express our appreciation for putting up with us.  This year we will display our talents on the grill with a formal dinner of kabobs.  Areas of assistance that will be needed are setup, cooking, entertainment, busing tables, and clean up.  We do this right including using the good china so clean up is the area where most help can be utilized.  I may have missed several guys so spread the word to those who you haven't seen in the group for awhile. 
At this time there are no plans for child care and in a later email you'll be informed of what to bring, i.e., a side dish, salad, dessert, etc.  I look forward to spending an evening with a great group of guys and their wives and sincerely hope you will be available to attend.

In Christ!

Next Session - April 26

Brothers in Christ,

I pray your Lenten journey was a spiritual experience and you are having a great Easter season.
Over the next three Saturday mornings we will preview sessions of "Symbolon-The Catholic Faith Explained".  This program, developed by the St Augustine Institute and presented by Dr. Edward Sri, focuses on our encounter with God in the sacraments and moral life.  The sessions we will review are The Paschal Mystery, The Holy Spirit, and Mary and the Saints.  If the series is received well we will continue the program as the main curriculum next year.

On another note we are over due for the annual Band of Brothers dinner and need to assemble a planning team for it.  If you are interested in being part of this team please attend the planning session after group Saturday morning.
We have also received a request to help a parishioner move Saturday morning.  Both manpower and pickups are needed so please let me know if you can help.  The more guys we have to help the quicker we can complete the move.

In Christ!
"We adore you O Christ and praise you because, by your holy cross you have redeemed the world." St Alphonsus Liguori

Easter Altar Setup

Please help set the Altar up for Easter tomorrow (Saturday, 4/19) at 9:00 a.m.  As always, many hands make light work.

Tenebrae

We won't have group tomorrow but there will be the Tenebrae service which I highly encourage you to attend.  The Tenebrae Service will begin at 5 a.m. in the Church and is a power tradition of the EasterTridum.

Fifth Week of Our Lenten Journey

As we've journeyed through "The Passion of the Christ" I hope it has been as powerful for you as it has been for me.  I can't think of a better way to wrap up this joint journey than to traverse together the steps Jesus took during his passion by praying the Stations of the Cross.  This Saturday (4/11) we will begin the session by praying the Office of the Hours and then the Stations of the Cross...after breakfast.  If time allows we will adjourn to the Parish Center and break into groups to share Lenten experiences.

Don't forget that at 11:00 a.m. The Band of Bros. is scheduled to pray together at Planned Parenthood in observance of the Forty Days for Life.
"When you feel the assaults of passion and anger, then is the time to be silent as Jesus was silent in the midst of His ignominies and sufferings." St John of the Cross

Help With Easter Box Setup on April 5

Please plan on sticking around for a few minutes after Saturday morning's session to set the tables up for the Easter boxes intake this weekend.  Many hands make light work, and it should only take a few minutes if there is a lot of help.


Help is also needed delivering the boxes on Sunday  (4/6) around noon.  Please consider adding this important mission to your Lenten preparation.


Todd has additional information if you have questions.
