You Were Created on Purpose, for a Purpose

Join us for an inspiring event on where Michelle Moujaes of Faithtree Resources will share a powerful message about identity, purpose, and God’s unique plan for every young person. In a world filled with so many mixed messages and such uncertainty, this gathering will remind students that they are not here by accident. It will reveal that God created each of us intentionally, with a purpose that only we can fulfill. 

Teens and Young adults sign up for Friday here.

PARISH LIFE CONFERENCE    

We in Norwood are the hosts for the annual New England PLC. It is a one-day event on Saturday, June 21st. We are closing the street and will be under a tent enjoying the finest foods from around the world. See Marianna Keaveney, chair of our PLC committee, and ask what you can do to make the day a success and to get login details for our zoom meeting this Thursday.

CAMP SAINT JOSEPH & AV SCHOLARSHIPS

The Archdiocese’s newest summer camp: Camp Saint Joseph of Damascus is taking place from August 11th to 16th, in Lenox, MA. Registration and information is online at www.campstjoseph.org. Here in Norwood, we are beginning a fund-raiser to help with the costs for campers and their families: All you need to do is sign on to the parish Pascha card.  Listen for all the details on Sunday. 

Summer camp would not be possible without the generosity from the Order of Saint Ignatius, which provides financial assistance to each parish to assist families to send their children to Antiochian Village. Speak to Father Joseph by March 23rd about funds available for Norwood campers. 

LADIES OF SAINT GEORGE | PALM SUNDAY BAKE SALE     

Palm Sunday is over a month away (April13th) but it isn’t too early to plan (or volunteer to help) at our annual bake sale. This supports the national project of the Antiochian Women.  

Locally, the Ladies of Saint George are 106 years old (two years older than the church itself.) Any of our ladies wanting to know more about this organization and potential activities should stay after coffee hour on the 23rd for an informal chat.
