Avviżi Parroċċa   San Ġwann tas-Salib – Ta’ Xbiex
24 ta’ April 2011 – Ħadd il-Għid
1.   Nhar it-Tlieta s-Sekulari Karmelitani jiltaqgħu fl-4.30pm.
2.   Nhar l-Erbgħa nagħtu bidu għas-7 Erbgħat f’ġieħ il-Madonna Sidtna Marija tal-Karmnu. Fil-5.30 jingħadu r-rużarju u l-kurunella; fis-6.30 toħroġ il-quddiesa b’omelija qasira dwar il-Madonna.
3. Nhar il-Gimgħa wara l-quddiesa tas-6pm il-Leġjun ta’ Marija jmexxi Adorazzjoni ta’ Ġesu Ewkaristija li tintemm bil-Benedizzjoni.
4. Nhar il-Ħadd li ġej ikun il-Ħadd tal-Ħniena Divina. Jaħbat ukoll il-Beatifikazzjoni tal‑Papa Ġwanni Pawlu II li kien approvaha din il-Festa tal-Ħniena. Jaħbat ukoll Jum il‑Ħaddiem. Niċċelebraw fil-parroċċa tagħna billi jkollna Adorazzjoni Ewkaristika fil‑10:45am u quddiesa tal-Ħniena Divina fil-11:30am. Kulħadd hu mistieden biex jattendi.
5.    Il-quddiesa tal-Ħadd 6pm tkun animata mill-grupp taż-żgħażagħ li joffru wkoll preżentazzjoni artistika dwar il-liturġija.
6.   Minn din il -ġimgħa se jsiru ż-żjajjar u t-tberik ta’ familji li għal xi raġuni jew oħra ma ntaħqux aktar kmieni, kif ukoll ufficini, ħwienet u stabbilimenti. Napprezza jekk il-familji jikkuntattjawi għal tberik fil-għaxija waqt li uffiċini u stabbilimenti naħseb navżahom jien għal tberik filgħodu.  
7.   Il-ġabra s-Sibt u l-Ħadd li ġej tmur għall-ħtiġijiet tal-knisja tagħna. Dik li għamilna x-xahar laħqet is-somma tajba ta’ 749.00 ewro. Grazzi dejjem tal-ġenerożita’ tagħkom.
Nixtieq niżżi ħajr pubblikament lil għadd mhux tant żgħir ta’ persuni li bla ebda interessi kienu indispensabbli biex stajna niċċelebraw kif jixraq il-fidi tagħna fil-parroċċa. M’iniex se nsemmi ismijiet għax tafuhom. Irrid biss nuri l-apprezzament tal-patrijiet u tiegħi f’isimkom għal tant qalb kbira.
