1. Thank you to everyone who donated to the Poor Clares Assumption Parish Shower. A team from Altar & Rosary will be taking your generous gifts to the monastery this Sunday afternoon. 2. Another thank you to all who ordered candles and essential oils from the Assumption Youth Group. The orders will be ready by the first weekend in April to pick up in the back of the church. 3. So far, we’ve collected 33% of our parish UIM goal, with 55 families donating to this fund. Thank you for your pledges and donations! 4. Next weekend we will take the second collection for Catholic Relief Services. This collection enables the Holy Father to respond with emergency financial assistance to requests to aid the neediest throughout the world – those who suffer as a result of war, oppression, and natural disasters. By supporting the Catholic Relief Services, you are helping fulfill the Church’s call to be a peacemaker in regions affected by conflict, poverty, and shortages of necessary resources. Thank you for your support!

1. On Fridays during Lent, we have two Stations of the Cross: after 12:10 PM Mass and at 6 PM. We will not have a homily on Fridays so that those who attend Mass during lunchtime can participate in the Stations of the Cross. 2. A St. Andrew Dinner for Vocations is being sponsored by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Las Cruces on Friday, March 28, in our parish. All young men who are high school seniors, college-aged, and young adults, are exclusively invited to this event. RSVPs are due by March 23rd. Please check the flyer on the bulletin boards for more information. 3. The collection boxes for the Poor Clares’ Shower are in the foyer of the church. You will find the list of needed items on the bulletin boards. 4. The Assumption Youth Group is selling essential oils and candles for $10 each as a fundraiser for trips and events. All money and orders are due by March 23 rd . Please check the flyer or call the office for more information. 5. Every first Saturday, we pray for sick parishioners during the morning Mass, and in April, we will also start adding sick parishioners to the bulletin. Please inform the office if you would like to add someone to the prayer list. 6. Please do not post or put books or other materials in the back of the church without first getting permission from the office. 7. This is our last announcement, but it is important. If you are a family, or know a family, who needs help with rebuilding or replacing furniture after the flooding, we have money available for assistance. Please contact the parish office, and the flood team will get back to you.
