Wednesday — Nova’s Lenten Mini-Retreat, 10 am to 3 pm, at Missionhurst in Arlington.
Friday, March 27 — VOICE meeting on afterschool programs, 7 to 8:15 pm, Kenmore Middle School.
Announcements
1) Lenten Mini-Retreat on Wed. — Gloria Mog reminded us about the Lenten Mini-Retreat that Nova will hold from 10 am to 3 pm at Missionhurst Retreat Center, 4651 25th St. N, Arlington. Fr. Gino Correa will lead the program, which consists of a day of prayer, inspiration, and reflection to deepen and support our Lenten journey together. There were still 7 spaces available this morning; if you want to attend, please register by contacting Linda Christie at [email protected] . Gloria said there is a suggested donation at the door: $20/person. She said there would be coffee and doughnuts provided but asked that you bring your own lunch and a water bottle.
2) VOICE meeting March 27 — Meg Tuccillo again asked us to attend a VOICE meeting at Kenmore Middle School on Friday, March 27, from 7 to 8:15 pm. The purpose of the gathering is to persuade the Arlington County Board to continue funding after-school programs for teens, including one that has been piloted at Kenmore. Meg said it was important to register to attend. She had forms at Mass. If you didn’t do that today or you weren’t at Nova, you can use this link to register (and get full information about the meeting): https://secure.everyaction.com/C-V3go-s_ECbq3FVL6Yfnw2
3) Teddi’s book — Teddi Ahrens said that at liturgy next Sunday, she will have copies of a book she wrote about Russia. Contact Teddi for more details.
4) Virginia special election on redistricting — Tom Clarkson urged anyone who is registered to vote in Virginia to get information on the April 21st special election on congressional redistricting in the Commonwealth. Early voting has started.
5) Food for AFAC — Finally, remember to bring food donations to liturgy for the Arlington Food Assistance Center (AFAC), which is currently serving 4,200+ families every week (which is a sad testament to income inequality in US society). Boxes of cold cereal are important items to bring. AFAC also has put out the word that they need: low-sodium canned vegetables; low-sodium canned beans; low-sodium soup; and canned meat.
Next Sunday will be a Community-led Liturgy at Kenmore. The planners are Clair Lamb and Jeanne Clarkson. The scribe for announcements will be Cathy Goldschmidt, who needs (as always) written copies of announcements made. — submitted by Phil and Alicia Cackley
