Usually around this time, we would be asking for volunteers to help us deep clean our sacred space before we celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord on Easter. Instead, we’re challenging our fellow parishioners to deep clean our Domestic Churches this week as a way to prepare for Easter.
We’ll focus on a different space each day. You’re welcome to follow our schedule or choose one that works for you, but we would love to hear your cleaning tips! Please share them on our Facebook page each day.
