Start: 11/23/2005 - 7:00pm Description:

To celebrate the feast of Thanksgiving, St. Matthew Catholic Church in Tyrone will hold its annual Bread Exchange and Blessing during a special Thanksgiving Eve Mass, at 7 p.m. tonight. Visitors and persons traveling through the area are invited to come and share this wonderful liturgy with this warm and inviting community. Parish families and visitors are invited to bring in a loaf of their favorite home made or store bought bread to be placed in front of the altar before Mass. During the Mass, Father Victor Galier, Pastor, will say a special blessing over the bread. Families who brought in loaves are then asked to take home a loaf other than the one they brought to be a part of their Thanksgiving Day meal. Parishioners are encouraged to not only enjoy the treat, but to pray for the family who made the bread they choose. St. Matthew Catholic Church is located at 215 Kirkley Road, in Tyrone.
