UPDATE ON FATHER JOE
Fr. Joe sends his regards. Although he’s still around on occasion, Fr. Joe is missing St. Boniface. He’s settling in to his new home and meeting a few people, but his days are mostly quiet. Over the years he collected quite a library and having time to read is nice. Unfortunately, he had to give up driving, so he doesn’t get out much. Overall, Fr. Joe is doing fine, just a bit lonely after so many years of people constantly being around. He is always happy to hear from his parishioners and friends, so feel free to give him a call, 513-569-1260. (If he doesn’t answer on the first try, call right back. Sometimes it takes a couple of times.) Most of all, keep him in yours prayers as he does for you.

FOUR GRAND CLUB NEWS: Congratulations to Trina Rambo, Mary D. Schweitzer, and Emily M. Hurley. They are the winners of the March 12 drawing and each won $25.

ST. VINCENT DE PAUL: During these 40 days of Lent we pray, fast, and give alms. March 28-29 will be the first of the two Fifth Weekend Collections for the St. Boniface SVdP. Your contributions allow us to help our neighbors with rent, utilities and food. Your response to our 40 Days of Lent Giving Calendar has been awesome! We appreciate your generosity and your prayers as we minister to the poor in Northside. The SVdP Lenten Calendar can be found on the St. Boniface website. The pantry is still open at this time. It is functioning as a drive thru style. The groceries are bagged and put into the car trunks by the SVdP workers. God bless you!

The following three events are cancelled for now.

ST. BONIFACE FISH FRY will be cancelled until further notice. Thank you for your support! We will keep you posted.

MUSICA SACRA CONCERT AT ST. BONIFACE: On Sunday, March 29 at 3:00 PM the Musica Sacra Chorus and Orchestra was to present the “Requiem” by Gabriel Faure….one of the most well-known and cherished “Requiems” in the entire repertoire. This concert is cancelled for now and we hope to reschedule it at a future date. We will keep you posted.

THE HEALTH AND WELLNESS MINISTRY will
not be doing Blood Pressure screenings next Sunday, March 29. They hope to resume the screenings next month. Hopefully you have been checking our bulletin board in the vestibule of church for monthly updates on various health issues. This month the bulletin board has some valuable information on diabetes (testing for and monitoring diabetes and questions for your doctor). Please check the bulletin board monthly. It is also important to remember about hand washing during the crisis of the Coronavirus.

THE BASKET ON THE COMMUNION RAIL contains the names of those in nursing homes and those that are homebound. We would appreciate it if you would take a name and contact the person with a call, a card, or a visit. As Easter approaches, we are busy making preparations but do not take the time to remember those who have time on their hands; they will appreciate your thoughtfulness. This would be a very nice thing to do this Lenten Season. If you send a card, please put that you are a St. Boniface parishioner

EASTER FLOWERS: Envelopes may be found at the doors of Church for Easter flowers. If you have church envelopes, you may use the envelope for Easter Flowers in your box. If you would like to make a memorial offering in the name of a deceased relative or friend, put their names on the envelope and enclose whatever you care to give. Place the envelope in the basket before Easter Sunday. The 11:00 AM Mass will be said for them on Easter Sunday.

EASTER EGG HUNT: This year the Easter Egg Hunt will be after the 11:00 AM Mass. If you would like to help out the Easter bunny, all donations of wrapped candy will be greatly appreciated. A basket will be in the vestibule from now till Palm Sunday to accept your gifts. Thank you!

GARAGE SALE: Just to let you know that we are having our Garage Sale this year on Saturday, June 13. If you have some items that you no longer use and would like to donate ahead of time, we would greatly appreciate it. Simply drop them off at the Parish Center. We just ask that the items not be so big that you cannot carry them alone. Please call the Parish Office if you have questions. Thanks!

VOCATION VIEW: Jesus opens the eyes of the blind men, as He can open our eyes blinded by the sins we have committed. Be open to new areas that God is leading you to trust His promises. (John 9:2-3)
