I would like to ask for your assistance. Rather than waiting
until the last minute, I am asking you to locate the Icons that are traveling
across our State. Please provide me with the council that currently is in
possession of the Icons. I will be needing this information before the Mid-Year
Meeting.
Also prepare your councils before the Icon arrives for them
to order additional booklets and prayer cards.
My home council #1202 and assembly # 3699 is currently in possession of a Marian Icon.
When I received the Marian Icon Pouch that comes with the Icon, it was near
empty of booklets. I was unaware and unprepared for this.
We did not have enough time to order and receive additional
booklets from Supreme. We used a local printer to print additional booklets, in
order to meet our timeline.
We held our Marian Icon Program at the 5:30 p.m. Mass, yesterday October 30, 2019 at St. Patrick Catholic Church.
We promoted our program a week in advance, placed a
notice in
our bulletin, had Marian Icon Posters at the entrances of the our church
and made pulpit announcements. The response from our parish was
very good. Take advantage of this opportunity to host a membership drive
along with your Marion Icon Program.
Programs and Membership Go Hand in Hand!
