Our hope is that during these 40 days of Lent, you are taking practical steps to live more joyfully and peacefully with one another ... and to live more simply in today's world. And, we hope you are doing something each and every day to
Care for God’s People and to Care for God’s Creation.

The St. Francis of Assisi Choir presents
“The Lenten Sketches”
By Joseph M. Martin
A Lenten Tenebrae Service
offered in Song and Narrative
Saturday, April 6th at 6:30 pm
Sunday, April 7th at 2 pm
Followed by a simple reception
in the Parish Hall
|
|
|
The word
“Tenebrae”
is defined in Latin as “
into the shadows or darkness
.” Our Tenebrae service will lead us on a candle-lit and shadowy journey depicting each of the events of
Christ’s last days of earthly existence
: from His triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday to His sorrowful Crucifixion on Good Friday.
Joseph Martin, the composer of
“The Lenten Sketches,”
has endeavored to capture the magnificence of Christ’s ministry among us through beautifully crafted musical and spoken narratives. Martin’s inspiration for
“The Lenten Sketches”
comes from poets, painters, singers and sculptors…
and the human spirit which has long labored to convey through artistic expression the deep things of faith
.
“The Lenten Sketches”
allows us to gather together to reflect and pray that our art may be redeemed by divine purpose…music motivated by the spirit of worship, in reflection of the beautiful portrait of His grace, our Master Composer and Artist.
Performances will be held in the church, last about 45 minutes and will be followed by a simple reception in the Parish Hall.
There is no charge and all are welcome
.
We hope you will find this a wonderful and spiritual way to continue your Lenten Journey. Please invite your family and friends.

The St. Vincent’s Dining Room is Reno’s oldest "soup kitchen" welcoming all who are hungry. The
dining room
serves over 500 people each day for lunch but many often go hungry at dinner time. Our boxed meals will provide some needed nutrition in the evening hours.
This is a wonderful opportunity to meet our RCIA candidates, welcome them to our Parish community, AND show our care for the less fortunate among us who depend on St. Vincent's Dining Room.
Donations graciously accepted - please
click here to give through Online Giving. Select "Food for the Hungry." In addition, there will be a donation basket at this outreach project on April 14.
Thank you for helping!
