LENT WEEK 3 (March 17 – 23)
St. Patrick is beloved in Ireland — and also in the remote Diocese of Mzuzu, Malawi. Ellen’s village has clean water thanks to @CrossCatholic and her bishop, an Irishman who came to Malawi 40+ years ago as a priest from St. Patrick’s Society for the Foreign Missions. Our Lenten alms can sponsor village wells in the Mzuzu Diocese and across Africa: CrossCatholic.org/Lent #Lent #WaterForLife #StPatrick #charity

HOLY WEEK (April 13 – 19)
This Holy Week, let us unite with Christ and all those who thirst for his love, including women like Agnes in the Diocese of Karonga, Malawi. Let us be a blessing in this world to those who have endured thirst and diseases. Let our parish overflow with hope and compassion as you inspire us to give alms to share clean water in distant lands. Amen. CrossCatholic.org/Lent #Lent #HolyWeek #WaterForLife #charity
