    The Lenten Season and Beyond

    2/26/2016

    0 Comments

     
    Easter is early this year and the Lenten season is well underway. Have you reflected upon what you would like to achieve and/or sacrifice this Lent? We hope you will join us and get involved in some of the many Lenten opportunities we have to offer. 

    Donut Hospitality - SignUp Genius

    The Youth Ministry management of after-Mass donut hospitality is proving to be a success. Thank you to the many volunteers we have had so far. YM will continue to sponsor donut hospitality the first Sunday of each month. We have created a SignUp Genius link to better plan and schedule this volunteer opportunity. Please take a look and sign up to help March 6 or at another date in the near future. 

    Parish Seder - March 19

    We are partnering with Rabbi Rain Zohav of the Interfaith Families Project to host a Parish Seder. This communal event will remind us of the many Christian symbols in the Seder meal and prepare us for the upcoming Holy Week. The event takes place in Creedon Hall from 3:00 - 4:30 pm on Saturday, March 19. Please RSVP so we may plan.

    Good Friday Events - March 25

    Carry the Cross - 12:00 pm
    The Parish is looking for teens to volunteer to carry the cross during the Good Friday Liturgy. Please contact Miguel miguel@gs-cc.org. 

    Live Stations of the Cross - 6:00 pm
    The Live Stations of the Cross is an annual tradition at GSCC. This year we hope to get even more teen involvement. Maybe you would like to act? Or maybe you would like to help in the background? No matter your interest, please contact Miguel to get involved miguel@gs-cc.org.
