View this message email in your browser Dear Parishioners and Friends, Attached, is an article with suggestions on preparing your family (your Domestic Church) for Great Lent. Also included are links to a few retreats happening this week. Take a look!  With the first day of the fast just days away, it is important to have a conversation with the family (or with whoever shares yur home) on how you will handle fasting and change routine to enter the lenten season prepared for its challenges.  Streamed services throughout the weeks of lent offer you an opportunity to “attend” and pray services that can be difficult to come to personally due to times of services and current circumstances. Let even the youngest children listen while they play and become familiar with the beautiful melodies unique to these lenten services. If you would like to attend a service in person: Please phone or email the parish office to register for personal attendance at any lenten service. We will accommodate as many people as restrictions permit inside.  As warm weather moves in,overflow attendance in the courtyard is possible. Services are broadcast outside.    SERVICE SCHEDULE for the FIRST WEEK OF LENT (full parish calendar available here) PREPARING FOR LENT IN YOUR FAMILY/HOME- Article by Irene Galadza OTHER ON LINE WORKSHOPS/RETREATS THIS WEEK (Check them out) SAINT ELIAS THE PROPHET CHURCH saintelias.com 10173 Heritage Road Brampton Ontario L7A 0A1 905.453.6565 Want to change how you receive these emails?
