Avvizi 3 Hadd tar-Randan – Parish Notices 3rd Sunday of Lent

Avvizi tal-Parrocca – San Gwann tas-Salib, Ta’ Xbiex

23 ta’ Marzu 2014 3 Hadd tar-Randan

Post by St John of the Cross Parish Church Ta' Xbiex.

1. Nhar il-Gimgha jkollna Adorazzjoni mmexxija mil-Legjun ta’ Marija wara l-quddiesa 6pm.

2. Ikun xieraq li niehdu sehem f’xi kors ta’ Ezercizzi. Kull Erbgha u Gimgha tul ir-Randan issir il-Via Sagra. Fi granet ohra jissokta jsir ir-ruzarju.

Kif tistghu taraw fid-Direttorju, Nhar il-Festa tad-Duluri 11 ta’ April barra l-quddies fil-hin tas-soltu jkollna quddiesa fis-13.00 u fil-5.15 ikollna quddiesa u wara tohrog il-Purcissjoni. Meta nidhlu ssir benedizzjoni ewkaristika fil-bieb tal-knisja u wara jkollna quddiesa ohra fis-7.15pm. Huwa important li nfittxu lil Ommna Marija biex tghinna naghmlu qrara tajba ghax b’hekk nersqu zgur lejn Binha Gesu u ghas-sliem tal-qalb.

L-Erbgha tal-Gimgha Kbira naghmlu zjara lill-Mejda tal-Appostli u postijiet ohra f’Bormla. Nitilqu fid-9.15am. Ikollna refreshments fil-Kunvent ta’ S. Tereza u wara nzuru l-knisja ta’ S. Tereza u dik tal-parrocca u l-Mejda tal-Appostli. Min jixtieq jigi jibbukkja fis-sagristija.

3. L-Erbgha, il-Hamis u l-Gimgha qeghdin isiru z–Żjajjar u t-Tberik tal-Familji bejn l-4.00pm u s-7.30pm. Qed nimxi fuq kif indikat fid-Direttorju Kalendarju Parrokkjali 2014. Ghalhekk nistenna li d-Direttorju tifthuh u taraw meta jmisskom.

Nappellaw ghal fondi biex ninstallaw aktar pannelli fotovoltajci. Grazzi.
