For families wishing to dedicate some time of their Holy Week to prayer, evangelization and service!
We'll be volunteering in a couple of trailer parks in Grand Prairie, doing the following activities:
• Inviting residents to special Holy Week services and confession
• Preparing and leading Stations of the Cross, Good Friday Service, Rosary, Easter Vigil Mass
• Putting on an Easter Carnival and lunch for the residents
• Projects for residents, such as building park benches, etc
The whole family is welcome. Parents are responsible for their children. Committees are being formed for each area of responsibility, so please let us know what you are interested in doing. A weekly e-mail will be going out with updated information, needs, etc. This mission doesn't begin Holy Thursday but today!
