Included with this week's bulletin are materials
necessary to pray the Divine Mercy Novena and Divine Mercy Chaplet. The
latter is prayed after each 8:00 AM daily Mass (in conjunction with the Rosary)
by a dedicated group of parishioners. The Divine Mercy devotion comes from
Poland
and spread worldwide under the reign of Pope John Paul II. Both novena
and chaplet are easy to learn and suitable for children and adults alike.
The novena begins Good Friday and will be prayed by many in our parish.
The parish will have a public recitation of the chaplet on Divine Mercy Sunday,
April 19, following the 12:15 Mass.

FAST
AND ABSTINENCE
The Fridays of Lent are days of abstinence for everyone 14
years or older. That means NO
MEAT. {Good Friday, April
10th, is a day of fast and abstinence.
That means only one full meal for those 18 to 59 and no
meat for anyone 14 years or older.}
The faithful should not excuse themselves lightly from these observances.
Lenten Reminders: All the faithful, after they have participated in
First Communion, are obliged to share in Communion at least once a year during
the Easter season (First Sunday of Lent until Trinity Sunday). Guidelines
for reception of Communion are printed on the inside front cover of our Missals. The faithful who are old enough to
understand that they have sinned are obligated to confess serious sins at least
once a year. It is recommended that
venial sins also be confessed.
Please
check your local cable listings for the special EWTN broadcasts of Pope Benedict
XVI’s Holy Week services.
CATECHETICAL
MINISTRY is looking for those who are interested in sharing
their faith, time and talents with our Junior High and High School students.
This is a weekly commitment for Junior High and twice a month for High School
Confirmation students. Please
prayerfully consider this most important ministry.
(Training is provided.) For more information, please contact Sharron
Hollenbeck or Angela Giampaoli in the Catechetical Ministry Office @ 251-0165.

Our
Love And Prayers Go Out To...
St.
Victor’s Parish Community would like to extend their sympathy and prayers for
the family and friends of Stephen B. Strawbridge, who recently passed away.
ALTAR SOCIETY FLORAL SERVICE
The Altar Society offers
parishioners an opportunity to provide flowers for our Sanctuary as a memorial
or tribute gift. It might be in
memory of a deceased loved one, in thanksgiving, or to commemorate a birthday,
baptism, marriage, anniversary, etc. In return for a minimum $100.00 gift, the
Altar Society will arrange for the floral display on the date(s) specified and
will see that an acknowledgment appears in the Parish Bulletin for the
corresponding week. For more
information or to order this floral service, please call the Parish Office @ 251-7055.
Bulletin
advertisers needed
Why not let parishioners know about your business or service while
helping the parish at the same time? St.
Victor’s currently has space available for new bulletin advertisers.
Please call the Parish Office @ 251-7055 for more information. THANK
YOU to those who already advertise with us – you make our Sunday bulletin
possible!
For applications
or information regarding St. Victor’s School, please call 251-1740 or visit www.school.stvictor.org
.
Donations to the Church may be made
monthly by credit card or checking account transfers.
Parish Pay is now available at St. Victor’s.
You may access the web site @ www.stvictor.org and click on DONATE or call toll-free @ 1-866-727-4741 and
give them the information over the phone. If

BINGO – St. Victor’s
Parish Hall on Friday, April 17th.
Doors Open at 5:00 P.M. Please see today’s bulletin insert for all
the details!
SPRINGTIME BRUNCH &
AUCTION – will be held on Sunday, May 3rd, from 10:00 A.M.-1:00
P.M. in the Parish Hall (Registration – 10:00 A.M., Buffet – 10:30-11:30
A.M., Silent Auction begins at opening and Live Auction begins at 11:30 A.M.)
Buffet Tickets are Pre-Sales only [$35.00 per couple & $20.00
per individual]. For more

FOR SAFETY SAKE. For
your safety as well as the safety of others, we ask your cooperation with St.
Victor’s, the Police Department and the Fire Department by parking in designated
areas only. We
especially need the fire lanes to be left open and clear. (You may be ticketed!)
As a courtesy to others, we ask you to follow traffic signs in and out of
the parish grounds. Please also obey
the posted signs – Speed Limit of 5 miles per hour - when
driving on the parish grounds. We
hope those few traffic rules will help keep everyone safe, and smooth any
traffic flow problems we may have.
THE GOOD ORDER OF THE HOUSE OF GOD – If there are pews open, please
come and have a seat for
Mass.
Standing around the Church is very
distracting to our priests, lectors and other parishioners. Our ushers
provide a very welcome service at our celebrations of the Eucharist.
Please assist them if they ask for your help and cooperation. Please help
to keep the Church and the surrounding area neat and clean.
At the end of Mass you can help by replacing your Music books and
Missalettes in the pew racks and by taking your bulletin home with you for handy
reference. Please do not chew gum in or around the Church.
Dispose of chewing gum in a trash receptacle not on the ground or under
the pews. There is a CRYING ROOM available for young children with room for
one parent. Out of respect for
the priest and courtesy to others, please arrive at Mass on time and remain in
your pews until the priest has left the Church.
Thank you for your cooperation.
