Parish Work Session And Appeal For Donations

I've had the following from Fr Kelley, which for those at a distance should at least give an idea of the parish's revival:

Dear Parishioners & Friends,

This coming Saturday, March 19, is the Feast of Saint Joseph, -- a traditional "Sign of Spring" as the Swallows return to Capistrano... Come celebrate with us! And remember St Joseph also as "The Worker" - the tradesman - the Guardian of Our Lord & His Holy Mother, and the Patron of the Universal Church.

Mass will be offered at 9am, for those who are able, and wish to mark the Feast Day. At 10am, we will begin our Spring Work Party, with special efforts to prepare for Palm Sunday. Please bring a bite or two to share for lunch.

We'll have a list of projects to choose from, fitted to a spectrum of strengths and such. There are may things, large and small that everyone can have a hand in somewhere. If you can't come, you can still help! How? Send us some funds! We have lightbulbs to buy, for instance! (We don't know why "the illegals" lived in such darkness -- but we can offer some suggestions!) And there are other things that will require replacement, or renewal. The opposition did their best to deplete the Parish's assets. You may make checks out to Saint Mary of the Angels' Parish, and send them c/o Aloyce Levin, 4510 Finley Avenue, Hollywood, CA 90027-2602.

If you know someone whose name should be included above, & who would be willing to lend a hand, or give a check, please feel free to cut & paste this message and forward it. There are others who have no email account. Please feel free to call them, or relay this message personally, so all can be included! Please help in our efforts for Outreach.

And those who can do neither, please bend a knee for us! We cherish your prayers as we engage in the work of restoring the Parish to its full function for the Lord.

I'll be there for the work party. It's worth noting that the parish is fighting its way back from attacks by an ancient foe that have come from many unexpected quarters. Please pray for the parish.

It's also going to be a struggle to get the parish back on a sound financial footing. Lent is a season for almsgiving. Please keep Fr Kelley's appeal in mind.
