March Food Drive

With the Lenten Season upon us, many of us are asking, “How can we help or make a difference?” The Social Apostolate here in Savannah. This mission works with the poor and the homeless here in our community to provide food and other necessities. March is the month for the Cathedral to “stock the pantry” at the Social Apostolate.  Please leave in the baskets in the vestibule of the church. Thank you for your generosity.

Holy Hour During Lent Sundays 4:30 pm- 5:30 pm

Each Sunday during Lent from 4:30 – 5:30 PM there will be a Holy Hour in the Cathedral, with Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament and confessions. At 5:30, the choir will lead us in sung Vespers, followed by Benediction. Also, on Good Friday, from 1:30 – 3:00 PM, Bishop Parkes and the Priests of the Cathedral will hear confessions.

 

Adult Faith Enrichment Bible Study Begins February 14th

Here is the link to order the workbook with online access to the videos: https://ascensionpress.com/products/psalms-study-set?variant=7553717927972. We will follow our regular format of discussing the questions and watching the video each week. 

The Book of Psalms: The School of Prayer: The Holy Spirit inspired them. Israel sang them. Christ himself prayed them, as did our Blessed Mother. At the heart of the Bible are the Psalms, prayers from God that help us to pray. In the Psalms: The School of Prayer, discover how these sacred hymns become our heartfelt response to God’s loving and wondrous deeds for us. In this 11-session Bible study, presenters Jeff Cavins, Tim Gray, and Sarah Christmyer show you how to establish a deeply personal dialogue with God through the Psalms. Learn how to meditate fruitfully on the captivating words of the Psalms using lectio divina and study the many ways the Psalms foretell the life and mission of Jesus.
