ALMSGIVING – The Athens Catholic Community
has a covenant agreement with Athens County Habitat
for Humanity Partners in Faith. For many years now we
have, as parishes, committed ourselves to a special Lenten Almsgiving practice, raising funds to help build a
Habitat Home for someone in need here in Athens County.
There are envelopes in the pews and at the doors to
both churches; we ask that you use these envelopes to
make a donation to Habitat for Humanity. Thank you
for your generosity.

EASTER EGG HUNT - Thank you to Father
Mark, Mary Catherine Kennedy, the Athens Catholic
Teens, the Catholic Newman Community, the teachers, parents and all those who contributed
filled eggs for the Athens Catholic Community Easter
Egg Hunt. Your contributions allowed
the children, young and old, to have a great
time as they discovered the connection of
the Easter eggs to our faith.
HIGH SCHOOL BIBLE STUDY - The weekly
Bible Study for 8th - 12th grade students resumes this
Thursday, April 9, from 6:30 to 8:30 PM

The Confirmation Team is meeting Tuesday, April
14, at 5:30 in the Rectory at St. Paul. We will begin

WALK TO JERUSALEM - Thank you to all those
who have contributed miles towards our Walk to
Mount Calvary this Lenten season! There have been
36 dedicated walkers/runners who have logged
1,570 miles so far! Hopefully this virtual journey has
brought time for reflection, prayers, and an overall
sense of physical, spiritual, and emotional well-being.
Our goal was to collectively travel the 6,098
miles from Athens, OH, to Jerusalem, Israel during
Lent. Earlier this week we were nearing the MidAtlantic Ridge. Since we haven't quite reached our
destination, the walk will continue into the Easter season!
If you haven't joined us yet, you're invited to help log
the miles during the next few weeks until we reach
Jerusalem. To log your miles and to see where we are
on
the
map,

keep walking!
