Hymn of the Week

Each Friday afternoon we publish a short 3 minute video on a hymn for the upcoming Sunday. The videos provide liturgical, historical, and musical insights, and introduce the melody of the hymn to help you sing along. The video featuring today’s hymn, Faithful Cross, is at materdeipa.com/music/hymn-of-the-week. Check out next Sunday’s hymn in this Friday’s video.

Diocesan Annual Campaign

Pledge cards for the Diocesan Annual Campaign are in the back of the Church on the piano. There are blank cards available for those who do not have a printed card. Please fill out the pledge card and place it in the Collection basket or mail it to the office. Our Diocesan Assessment this year is $13,300.  The community must cover this amount.  Anything in excess remains with Mater Dei, so thank you for your generosity!

Church Safety Workshop

There will be a 30 minute Active Shooter Preparedness workshop in the church following both Masses on March 31.  These workshops are provided as a prudent action to enhance the safety of our community and are not in response to any increased or specific threat.  Parents should consider whether the attendance of their children is appropriate.

Mater Dei Brand Merchandise

Next Sunday in Classroom 1  we will offer official Mater Dei T-Shirts, Mugs and Car Window Decals following both Masses.  There is a limited supply and no per customer limits.  Take advantage of this opportunity to show your spirit by gearing yourself and your family with this classy apparel and these great accessories.
