The greet-and-eat “happenin’ place” between services on Sunday mornings is the South Entrance, where St. Mary’s Guild members set up their weekly “Feed Your Soul” bake sale table. Parishioners can enjoy coffee and a quick bite or buy baked goods to take home. Ask about the $15 loyalty card, a punch card that makes 75-cent purchases easy. The weekly bake sale provides a great opportunity to visit old friends and welcome newcomers in the heart of our church fellowship space. As St. Mary’s Guild celebrates its 70th birthday year, keep the tradition alive by visiting the bake sale table between 8:30 and 11 a.m. on Sundays.

CHORAL COMPLINE | UNTIL MAY 5 Sundays | 8 p.m. | Chuch Choral Compline is offered every Sunday in a candlelit church at 8 p.m. This entirely chanted service, sung by the Compline Choir, is a wonderful way to increase your prayer life and spirituality during Lent.
