Announcements
Two Important Collections for the last days of Lent:
It has been our custom at Holy Redeemer to save money during Lent for Operation Rice Bowl. The collection will be taken this Sunday, Palm Sunday. The money helps the poor and starving people of the world and in Philadelphia.
On Good Friday all collections taken in Catholic Churches are for the upkeep of the shrines of the Holy Land. This support is especially important this year when there are few pilgrim visitors due to the war. Please be generous.
