St. Wenceslaus Happenings

Pray for vocations and for our seminarians; Jake Belanger, Andrew Feister, Gerald Przekora, David Witkowski, John Mawby, Mark Steck, Chance Armstrong, and Isaac Laucky. 

There will be a Holy Hour in honor of Divine Mercy Sunday on Sunday, April 12 from 2:30- 3:30 p.m. at St. Wenceslaus Church; please come.  Father Michael will be hearing confessions during the Holy Hour.  On Mercy Sunday, you can gain a plenary indulgence.  Pray for the intentions of the Pope, 3 Hail Mary’s, 3 Our Father's, and 3 Glory Be's, be in the state of grace, go to confession within 10 days, and receive communion.  Divine Mercy Sunday, is a feast day based on the revelations of St. Faustina and the command of Jesus to be merciful.  Divine Mercy Sunday celebrates God's unlimited forgiveness.  Jesus told St. Faustina that this Feast of Mercy would be a very special day when "all the divine floodgates through which graces flow are opened."  This a wonderful opportunity to pray for our departed loved ones and souls in Purgatory.  A spaghetti dinner will follow this event. 

There will be a Yard Sale this year.  Please save those clean, gently used, unwanted treasures.  Please no computers, large appliances, TV’s or clothes. 

Still looking for raffle prizes, please let Deacon Martin know what you will donate for a raffle prize.  Items such as garden or orchard, produce, gift coupons for restaurants, car washes, box stores, etc.  The possibilities are endless.  Please help to relieve the stress of those seeking prizes. 

The liturgies for the Tridium were beautiful.  We thank all those who played a part in this and worked so well together.  We thank those who cleaned, washed the floor, Mary Ann and crew for the beautiful decorations, the liturgical ministers lectors, Eucharistic ministers, altar servers, the ushers, and Roberto and the choir and the 5 cantors.  This was a huge project for our small parish.  Everyone was well prepared and did their part well.

Rest in Peace!  The Parish extends its sympathy to the Panta and Mary Leon family.  Panta’s mother passed away in Mexico.  The funeral was held last week.  In your kindness, please pray for the repose of her soul and comfort for her family.

 May she rest in peace. Amen.
