support this great opportunity we have to feed our
brothers and sisters in Christ, by donating to the Good
Samaritan Food Pantry in Lenoir City. Place your food
donations in the chapel.
CRS RICE BOWL REFLECTION: MALAWI
This week, CRS Rice Bowl invites us to enter into
solidarity with the people of Malawi. We are encouraged
to reflect on the Catholic social teaching principle,
Dignity of Work and Rights of Workers, and reminded
that, just as He labored to create the universe, God
sanctifies and calls us to work. Let us pray this week for
our brothers and sisters in Malawi and all around the
world, that we work with joy for God’s greater glory.
ST. THOMAS’ AFF PRESENTS
A FAMILY SEDER MEAL
Saturday, April 5, 2014, @ Noon
The Table Awaits You! Make Your Reservations NOW
Invite your family and fellow parishioners to participate
in a very unique opportunity to celebrate a Seder Supper.
Jesus was a Jew who on the night before He died
celebrated His Passover Seder Meal. We know it as the
Last Supper, which was the First Mass! The St. Thomas
parish family will celebrate a Seder Meal, which will
focus upon the Passover as the prep for the Holy
Sacrifice of the Mass. This is a parish wide event that
will help us all have a deeper knowledge of our Faith.
This is an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of
Jesus and His Jewish roots in celebrating both the Seder
Meal and the Mass.
Reservation Forms can be found in the Narthex by the
Tri-Poster.
Additional questions: call Bette Purvis 865.405.1937;
or email at bettetv410@chartertn.net

donors are published in the parish bulletin, and a special

to support liturgy and worship activities.

EASTER LATIN MASS
The traditional Latin Mass of Easter will be offered
at Holy Ghost Church (Knoxville) at 1:30 pm on Easter
Sunday (April 20), preceded at 1 pm by a prelude of
traditional Easter music. This special Mass will include
sacred motets and the liturgy of Easter sung in Gregorian
chant and sacred polyphony, with the principal choral
parts (Kyrie, Gloria, Sanctus, etc.) of the Mass sung in a
polyphonic setting by the Renaissance composer William
Byrd. In recent years this special Easter Latin Mass has
attracted worshipers from parishes throughout the diocese.
