Welcome to Mater Dei Parish on this the Third Sunday in Ordinary Time.
 
  1.    Immediately after the reading of today’s Gospel, Father will be blessing families
        and Bibles you brought from your homes.  You were given a prayer as you entered
        Church today.  After we read the prayer together, families will line up in the center
        aisle as you do when going to Communion and Father will bless you.  If you did not
        bring a Bible from home, a Bible will be available for you to hold while you are being
        blessed.   
      
2.    There is a special collection this weekend for Catholic Education.  Half of the money
        collected will remain at Mater Dei to support our parish youth programs.  The
        baskets will be passed after Communion.  Please be as generous as possible.
 
 
3.    Please see the bulletin for the schedule of daily Masses at St. Edward’s and
        Michaud Manor.
