2018 Blessing of Easter Baskets

Community Events, Liturgical, Parish Life /

All are welcome — as always! Bring your eggs, cooked foods, uncooked foods, baskets or not, covered with a white linen cloth (or not)… Father Andrew will bless your Easter foods in a short, cheerful service on Saturday, March 31st at 1 pm.

This service is a token of gratitude to God for all his gifts of both nature and grace. A reminder that the Lord is part of our daily life and is always among us! Please bring a family member or a friend; help make this old but significant tradition new again!
