Cold & Flu Season

Once again, please be charitable to your neighbor by considering if it is wise to come to church (or any public place) if you are sick.  It’s not so much about how you feel, but about how contagious you might be (coughing/sneezing).

The Sunday obligation is not binding if there is a good reason.

Likewise, if your health is not top-top, you may want to consider coming to a less crowded Mass, to avoid a lot potentially germ-carrying neighbors.  Right now it is looking like the 7:30 & 1:00 would be the less crowded, but we don’t really know about the 1:00 yet.

No germs in heaven!  Be saints!

Lenten food for the Carmelite Nuns

by

Discalced Carmelite Coat of ArmsThe Discalced Carmelite Nuns of Dallas are in need of some Lenten pantry items. If you are able to purchase items for the Carmel, please leave them on the Carmelite table in the Parish Hall.

The Truty family will bring the items to Sisters each Sunday during Lent. If you would rather take them to the Carmelites yourself they would like very much to say hello. Their address is 600 Flowers Ave, Dallas, TX 75211. If you have any questions you can contact Cheryl Truty at materetmagistra1@gmail.com.

The nuns eat only vegetarian foods so the soups need to be non meat based. I found that many of the Progresso soups fit this criteria. The items they are in need of are as follows:

  • Soups(Vegetarian) any flavor, vegetable broth
  • Juices (Apple, Grape, Cranberry, Cranberry mix, Some sugar free if possible)
  • Vegetables any kind ( To make homemade soups)
  • Rice, Quinoa or any other grains that can be cooked like rice
  • Beans of all varieties

Thank you in advance for your generosity.
