Chrism Mass

Zumba Toning
The latest addition to our Zumba family is Zumba Toning, which uses weights for body sculpting. There was such a huge demand for our first series of classes they were sold out before we even had a chance to advertise. Each series of Zumba Toning classes lasts for 10 weeks and has a limited class size. If you missed out this time – don’t worry, we should be starting another series in a few months. If you are interested in getting your name on the list for next time, or just want some more information about Zumba Toning, give Connie (833-4697) or Marie (696-8169) a call. In the meantime, join us every Monday & Wednesday at 7pm for our regular Zumba classes, or Tuesdays at 10am for Zumba Gold!
Adoration
All are welcome to Eucharistic Adoration on Sunday, March 25th from 2 – 4pm at St. Joachim’s.
Special Development And Peace Collection
The annual Lenten Development and Peace collection (Saturday, March 24th, and Sunday, March 25th) goes towards helping to support the needs of those living in developing, poor Third World countries. The Canadian Bishops encourage us to respond to God’s generosity to us by supporting the works of the Canadian Catholic Organization of Development and Peace. Christians are urged to share their goods with others and thus express in a concrete way their desire to come closer to God and all God’s children as a result of their Lenten efforts, through this annual collection.
Adult Catechesis
Due to the Mission at St. Joachim’s, the session on Thursday, March 22nd has been cancelled. Sessions resume on Thursday, March 29th at 7pm.
