**TODAY
~ Sunday, March 23, Social Action regular committee meeting
follows 10:15 am Mass, Womble Library. Everyone
is welcome as we explore a few small practicalities of living the
Lenten fast [noting that Isaiah recommends letting the oppressed go
free, breaking every yoke, sharing bread with the hungry, bringing
the homeless poor into your house, and covering the naked – [Isaiah
58: 6-9.] Agenda items to Peggy Van Norman, htfqueen@aol.com.
**Sunday, March 30, following Morning Masses, we’ll assemble food packs for Tucson Samaritans to give migrants in distress in the desert. What can you bring? Gallon jugs of water, March 23 and 30th only. Just put them in the gold chest in the back of church. You don’t have to have a final opinion on all the nuance of immigration to give food to the hungry and a lifesaving cup of water to the thirsty.

parishioner or two if possible. Team 1 (June 3-20) is full, primarily

24-July17) has two slots available. We are very happy to add UA
student Taylor Nash, grand-daughter of the Parish , to this team.
Team 3 (July 21-August 6) has space available and will be somewhat
less physically demanding than
th*e
others. Interested? Ask Coordinator Ila Abernathy for details,

TAIZE
4th YEAR CELEBRATION - APRIL 1st
Please
come and join us for a reception following the
Taize
service April 1st at 6:45 pm.
We are celebrating now, well into our 4th year of continuous Taize services held the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month Taize is a service of Prayers, Songs, Readings, Silence, and Music. This quiet, meditative service is also a great way to observe Lent.
Any
other suggestions you may have of other ways we could promote this
would be appreciated.
Thanks
for all your support and perseverance in everything you do.
