Please Pray
The Resurrection of the Lord
In the south transept of Holy Family Cathedral, one cannot help but notice a stunning stained glass window of the Res-urrection of Jesus. Directly across from the Nativity win-dow, these two events mark the beginning of an incredible series in our windows. The north side follows scenes from Jesus’s life while the south side depicts scenes from the gos-pels following the Resurrection. Halleluiah! He is Risen!
Please pray for our parishioners, friends, and
family who are ill, especially:
Jeri Potter, Ed Lowe, Dawn Brown, William McQueen, Faye McQueen, Helen Shoemaker, Alice Eakins, Gladys Avent, Lillie Artis, Elise Langenfeld, Bernard Wright, No-vella Wright, Will Williams, Willard Thierry, Tony Antho-ny, Lucille Thierry
Please pray for those that have died, especially benefactors of Holy Family Cathedral Parish and Holy Family Classical School.
