Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers
Sponsor Contest to
Win a Mission Trip to Africa

Entries Accepted for Explore My Mission Contest Through April 9, 2010

Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers announce their second Explore My Mission contest. Catholic young people, ages 18-35, with a passion for living the Gospel by helping others can win an opportunity to experience another culture and live the world of mission in another country.

Two grand prize winners will be awarded a two-week, short-term mission trip to Tanzania, East Africa. They will work along side the Maryknoll East Africa Mission Community in their service among the poor in rural and urban settings near Lake Victoria and will be accompanied by veteran Maryknoll missioners, Father Dennis Moorman and Brother Tim Raible, and other Maryknoll staff.

"With last year's contest winners, we had a wonderful experience of mission in Brazil and shared so much with the Brazilian people," said Father Moorman. "I'm psyched for this year's trip to East Africa! Tanzania is a great country with amazing people! We are going to have a fantastic experience of mission and learning with the Tanzanian people."

Assignment: Create a video, 3 minutes or less, featuring you, the service or ministry with which you are involved, and the reason you would be a good choice for this mission project. Amateur videos are welcome.

Deadline: Video entries may be uploaded to the official contest website, www.ExploreMyMission.org, through April 9, 2010. Contest winners will be notified by May 18, 2010. Winners will be in Tanzania for the first two weeks of July 2010. Complete instructions are available at the website.

Due to Holy Thursday Mass at ABVM the church has decided that the entire ABVM campus will not be open on Holy Thursday so that everyone can attend the Mass of the Lord's Supper at 7pm in the main church. Therefore, we will not have Faith Sharing on April 1, 2010. We will continue to have regular meetings starting Thursday April 8, 2010.

First Friday for April this year will fall during Holy Week. We have been invited to observe Sacred Heart Bath's Living Stations of the Cross at Sacred Heart Church in Bath. The presentation is scheduled from 7pm-8pm on Friday April 2, 2010. Sacred Heart Church is located at 210 East Northampton Street, Bath PA 18014. We would like to meet at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church( 3219 Santee Roade Bethlehem PA 18020) parking lot at 6:15 pm on Friday evening so that we can all follow one another so no one gets lost if they are not familiar with the location of the church. Tom Z. also said that we would have a gathering afterward which will be quiet and in the spirit of Good Friday.
