March Eucharistic Ministers / Ministers of the Word

Please notify Monsignor Gregg 24 hours in advance if you are unable to serve.

On March 17th at 7:00PM, a Mass of Reconciliation will be celebrated to prepare ourselves for Holy Week. Individual confession will be available following Mass.

Bethany will be having a cleaning day on Thursday, March 25th to prepare the chapel for the sacred celebrations of Holy Week. Our work will begin at 9:00AM. Please join us if you have the time and ability to offer.

During the month of March, we will have a period of Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament before the start of Sunday morning Masses. This is an opportunity to spend quality time with the Lord and to prepare ourselves for Holy Eucharist. Remember, before the service, be silent and speak to the Lord. During the service, let the Lord speak to you. After the service, speak to one another.

During the month of March, we will have a special collection at Lord’s Day services to buy lilies to decorate the chapel for Easter Sunday. Please consider an additional donation to beautify the House of the Lord.

Bethany will begin its tradition of using the “Warming Tree” to collect scarves, mittens, and hats for children who, due to personal circumstances, live in group children’s homes. Please join us in our effort to provide warmth-giving clothing to children in need by decorating our Warming Tree with your gifts of Winter apparel. Thanks to your generosity last year, many children were blessed with your gifts of warmth.

We will continue collecting non-perishable food items for area food pantries. Please bring your donations of canned goods and dry goods to Saturday evening and Sunday morning Masses. “Hunger never takes a vacation.”

As a community, we support each other through prayer in communion with Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Please let us know of your prayer requests.

Have the name of a loved one who has gone home to our Lord added to Bethany’s “Tree of Life”, located in the Chapel of Mercy. For details, visit the “Tree of Life” or call us.

In the event of foul weather, please check for cancellations on WWLP, Channel 22. This is the only station that will list Bethany closings due to foul weather.

Bethany is always grateful to receive donations of supplies, such as coffee, hot chocolate, dish soap, cleaning supplies, paper towels, paper plates and cups, bathroom tissue, etc. Please place donations in the large basket at the chapel entrance. Thank you!
