Easter Offering. This year St, Mary’s will be allocating $275 from the Easter offering to the purchasing of groceries for one of Regina’s community fridges.   A community fridge is a refrigerator located in a public space that enables food to be shared within a community. As the demand for food banks continues to increase, these fridges are an important support for those who may not have enough to feed themselves or their families.

PARISH LIFE NOTES

ROGATIONTIDE from the Latin word, “ rogare” ( “to ask”) is a three day period of fasting and prayer which begins this Monday,  leading up the Feast of the Ascension, which we celebrate on Thursday. In England, a common feature of the rogation days in former times was the ceremony of “beating of the bounds” in which a procession of parishioners, led by the minister, churchwarden, and choir would proceed around the boundary of their and and pray for its protection in the forthcoming year. The Book of Common Prayer encourages us in rogationtide to make use of the Great Litany  ( page 30) in our prayers, wherein we pray and intercede on behalf of the church and the entire world for its many needs. Today, being Rogation Sunday we will process out to St. Mary’s garden and pray God’s blessing upon the plants, and animals, and all the life of our parish and city, and that we might be good neighbors, showing forth the kingdom of God on earth. 

THE FEAST of THE ASCENSION OF THE LORD will take place this Thursday  beginning at 5.30 p.m. with shortened Evening Prayer followed by Holy Communion. 

WELCOMING OF CANDIDATE FOR HOLY BAPTISM. Today we rejoice in welcoming Terrance and Kelsi, who are presenting their son, Dante, as a candidate for Holy Baptism. 

CATHEDRAL VILLAGE ARTS FESTIVAL ST. Mary’s will be host venue for a variety of entertainment  groups this Friday and Saturday night. We will also be opening our doors for tours of our beautiful nave and sanctuary from 2 unto 4 pm on Saturday.
