Easter Lily Sale
The Knights of Columbus are selling Easter Lilies after all the Masses this weekend. The plants can be taken home or donated to the Church to decorate the Altar and dedicated “in loving memory of” or “in honor of” if you so desire.
Easter Flowers
We like our church to be particularly beautiful at this special time of the year. If you would like to help with the decorations, please plan to bring lilies and tulips to the rectory by April 12th.

Bishop Kevin encourages the elect to attend. The Church is located at 13280 Chapman Avenue in Garden Grove.
Pontifical Good Friday Collection
Pope Francis has asked our parish to support the Pontifical Good Friday Collection, which helps Christians in the Holy Land. Your support helps the church minister in parishes, provide Catholic schools and offer religious education. The Pontifical Good Friday Collection also helps to preserve the sacred shrines. The wars, unrest and instability have been especially hard on Christians. In these times of crisis, the Pontifical Good Friday Collection provides humanitarian aid to refugees. When you contribute to the Pontifical Good Friday Collection, you become an instrument of peace and join with Catholics around the world in solidarity with the Church in the Holy Land. PLEASE BE GENEROUS

Last weekend was the start of our April Showers Baby Bottle Campaign for Pro-Life. Parishioners can take home a baby bottle provided by us, fill it with all of their spare change and return the bottle by Apr. 30th. All your donations will go towards helping women who have chosen life for their babies.
