During the July 1917 apparition at Fatima, Our Lady said to Lucia,“I shall come to ask... that on the First Saturday of every month, Communions of reparation be made in atonement for the sins of the world.” 3 The messages Our Lady imparted to the three children were a recommendation for devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary as a way to save souls and bring peace to the world. It predicted an end to the Great War, but predicted a worse one if people did not cease offending God.

On March 31st , the feast of Our Lady of the Holy Cross, you are invited to join members of Mary’s Helpers Ministry immediately following the daily 8 a.m. Mass to pray Mary’s Way of the Cross. Mary walked with Jesus on his way to the Cross.

All are invited to a celebration of the Annunciation after Mass, Friday, March 25, for a Lenten breakfast. Following a German Lenten tradition, we will serve hard-boiled eggs and soft pretzels along with mini-quiches, strawberries, coffee, tea, and juice. We will explore the Annunciation in Art and honor Mary in song.

To celebrate the feast of St. Joseph, Prince of Peace will be hosting a special blessing of breads. This event traditionally called St. Joseph’s table, is a day celebration and commemoration of St. Joseph the spouse of Mary. While the tradition gets its origins from Italy it has been adopted world wide. Italians say the use of bread crumbs in food preparation this day is important as they represent saw dust in commemoration of St. Josephs’ work as a carpenter.
