Covenant Sunday

The Liturgy on Covenant Sunday is at 11 :00 a.m. in the field near the Grotto in the back of the Centre. (The Saturday 5:00 p.m. Vigil Mass is celebrated for Festival workers and those unable to join us on Sunday. Scrolls are collected during this Liturgy.)

By filling out and submitting our scrolls we commit ourselves to the virtues of Hospitality, Spirituality and Stewardship by volunteering to serve in the many ministries offered. The scrolls are brought to the altar during the Liturgy.

Every Christian community, which celebrates the Eucharist, is a covenant community, because according to Jesus' own words, we are celebrating "the new covenant in my blood."

The Covenant Way of Life is the vocation, which became ours with Baptism, the first of those baptismal vows are repeated on the scroll. The remainder of our baptismal vows are reflected in the Creed of our Liturgy.

A buffet dinner and drinks will be provided as in years past. We ask families with last names beginning with A-K to bring a dessert for the Festival. Desserts should be dropped off in the Dessert Tent before Mass that day. The Covenant Mass and Festival is open to all Community members and is FREE.

Please remember to bring folding chairs and to wear appropriate casual clothing to the outdoor Mass. Also, please watch your steps as you walk. (There are ruts in places due to the weather.)
