We are encouraged to mark the fourth Sunday of Lent, Laetare Sunday, with joyful celebrations in our homes. Laetare means rejoice in Latin, and Family Corner this week will help us to look forward in faith to the joy of the Resurrection.

Almsgiving is one of our main practices during Lent. Family Corner this week will focus on ways we can work together in the family and parish to give to others.

We still need two new weekly committed Adorers: Wednesdays from 2-3am and Fridays from 6-7pm. This is a great opportunity for Lent! Can you help?
