TO THE FAITHFUL OF OUR PASTORATE,
At the beginning of Lent, we asked that you complete a short survey that will
provide our pastorate with valuable data as we continue through the Into the Deep merger process. If you haven’t yet completed the survey, we encourage you to do so by this Sunday, March 23.
provide our pastorate with valuable data as we continue through the Into the Deep merger process. If you haven’t yet completed the survey, we encourage you to do so by this Sunday, March 23.
Your feedback is valuable in helping us understand preferences as we move
forward together as a pastorate and, eventually, one parish. The survey is brief and takes less than one minute to complete. You can complete the survey online at pastorate26.com/survey or use a paper copy in the back of church.
We kindly ask each household to submit just one response. Thank you for taking the time to share your answers—your participation is greatly appreciated! If you have questions, please reach out to Michael Mills at mmills@ihmparish.org

IHM Students Support Sister Parish
Normally the students sacrifice their “Dress-Down Fridays” for Lent or they offer $2 as Alms. At a student assembly just before Lent, Barb Brochtrup, member of the Sister Parish Committee and art teacher at IHM, explained that St. Benedict Parish does not have a bell in their bell tower, to call parishioners to Mass. (Parishioners do not have clocks, watches or cell phones). This year, as a school, the students are raising funds to help buy a bell. When Fr. Peter, Assistant Pastor of St. Benedict Parish in Tanzania, learned of this, he was delighted as said, “Maybe we
shall ring our big new bell for Easter Joy!”

Old Palms
This year, due to logistics, we are not collecting palms in our pastorate. Blessed palm branches should be treated with special reverence. They should either be burned with the ashes then buried or simply buried. This ensures their sacred purpose is honored and returns them to the earth in a dignified way.
