Preparation for the Total Consecration to Mary
@Precious Blood, Monday, March 3 – Monday, April 7, 7:00 pm
Join us for five Mondays this Lent as we journey with Mary, our spiritual Mother, to the foot of the cross. Each evening will begin with the Rosary, followed by a presentation from Curtis Kneblik on the Blessed Mother’s role in our spiritual lives and her significance in our path to holiness. Together, we will prepare to make or renew our consecration to Mary using the booklet Preparation for the Total Consecration to the Immaculate according to St. Maximilian Kolbe, which will guide us in offering ourselves fully to our Blessed Mother before Palm Sunday. Let Mary guide you as you take up your cross and follow her to the foot of Christ’s crucifixion, where you too will hear the words: “Behold your Mother” (John 19:27).

Holy Land Shepherds Wood Carving Sale

Precious Blood, St. Paul and St. Rita will have Holy Land Shepherds Wood Carvings on sale before and after Mass on April 21 & 22.
The Holy Land Shepherds
The carving of the Olive Wood Tree has been inherited since the time of our Lord, Jesus Christ. It was passed down from father to son for many
generations including our family. More than 80% of the Christian community income comes from tourism and the olive wood trade. However,
due to the ongoing difficult circumstances and the tremendous decrease in tourism the Christian community has suffered many hardships that led
many Christian Families to leave their homes in search of work and safety. Our mission is to support and strengthen the presence of Christianity
in the Holy Land by selling their beautiful olive wood artifacts here in the United States. We have been blessed and grateful to have had the
opportunity to travel to different parishes all around the United States for the past 15 years to represent these less fortunate Christians. We are
happy to announce that we will be visiting your parish on April 20th & 21st . We encourage you to look over their beautiful hand carved items. We
value your support. We will be accepting cash credit cards & checks. May God bless you & keep you safe. The Holy Land Shepherds.
