These devotions will include Eucharistic exposition and Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, a homily by Deacon Wayne, the praying of the Chaplet of Divine Mercy in song led by the John and Rosie Kube Family, recitation of the Praises of Divine Mercy and Benediction. A reception sponsored by the Rosary Guild and Sodality will follow in the Fr. Severin Parish Life Center. This opportunity is for your entire family, and you are invited to participate in all or part of the services.

A Special Invite from Fr. Aaron… Currently, I am working with Friends of Recovery, Inc., a group from our community trying to start a women’s recovery house here in Greenfield. If you have an interest, a real passion to help the women of Hancock Co. that are suffering from addiction, please join me at a reception to learn more about the Talitha Koum Recovery House. The reception is Tues. April 26th at 7 P.M. at the Adaggio’s Banquet Hall and Conference Center, 599 W. Memory Lane in Greenfield. Please contact the parish office, 462-4240, if you have an interest in attending, helping or learning more. Speaking at the coffee and dessert reception will be John Hill, from the Governor’s Office, and Sharon Blair. They will share how we can make a difference in our community for those dealing with addiction by supporting the Talitha Koum Recovery House. The group needs donations of time, talent and funds. You may contact Amy Ikerd at aikerd@hancockcoingov.org or Linda Ostewig at thelanding4teens@gmail.com for additional information about the project or the reception.
