Óscar Romero and the Martyrs of El Salvador

Óscar Romero and the Martyrs of El Salvador

Almighty God, you called your servant Óscar Romero to be a voice for the voiceless poor, and to give his life as a seed of freedom and a sign of hope: Grant that we, inspired by his sacrifice and the example of the martyrs of El Salvador, may without fear or favor witness to your Word who abides, your Word who is Life, even Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit, be praise and glory now and for ever. Amen.

1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.

The Prayer Shawl Ministry starts its fifth season of knitting and crocheting today. Thank you to the ladies and gentlemen who gather on the second and fourth Tuesday of the month to give their time and talent to this loving and much-needed project.

This year, in addition to our usual actitivies, we will also be making baby blankets, winter caps for children andgrown-ups, and tiny sweaters for the newborns in Uganda called “Fish-and-Chip” babies who, because of the poverty there, are sent home wrapped in newspaper. In addition . . .wait for it . . . the group plans to make penguin pullovers for those poor creatures that have been victims of oil spills. Newcomers are welcome to join this merry band.
