The Adrian Parish Cluster of 11th grade confirmation classes have performed the Shadow Drama of the crucifixion of Christ for many years. If you have never attended, you really should! It is truly inspirational and a perfect Lenten activity for you and your family. In addition to the Shadow Dramas, the Knights of Columbus from the three parishes will serve soup and sandwiches prior to the performance and the combined Catholic Daughters will serve refreshments following the stations. Check it out on Wednesday, March 14th at St. Anthony’s church. People of all faiths are welcome!
March is “FOOD SHARE” month in Minnesota. The “food fight” competition between the Catholic Daughters and the Knights of Columbus is in full swing and has been extended through March 24th. Choose which organization you’d like to support and place your non-perishable food items, personal care items, or household items in the respective box at St. Anthony’s. Remember EVERYONE wins—all items collected will benefit the local food shelves. An evening of fun, food, and fellowship will conclude the competition.
