REFLECTION
LENTEN SOUP SUPPER
FLORAL MINISTRY
REFLECCIÓN DOMINICAL
On this first Sunday of our Lenten journey, God has invited
us here to be strengthened in our resolve to change our
hearts and our lives. We will hear stories of temptation and
responses to temptation. How do they echo the stories of
our own lives? As we hear God’s word and respond today
in our celebration of the Eucharist, let us pray for the grace
and strength to make the right choices, and for forgiveness
and another chance when we fail.
All are invited to share a simple soup supper this Friday,
March 14 at 5:30 in PCMR1 (next to the gym). It will be
followed by Stations of the Cross at 7:00. This will be a
weekly event on Fridays of Lent, but please note that
there will be no supper or stations on Friday, March 21,
due to Confirmation Mass. It will resume the following
week.
We are looking for a person to take over as lead for the
Floral Ministry. With the help of other floral ministry members, this person will coordinate floral décor in the church
throughout the year, as well as the Christmas poinsettia
and Easter lily projects. If interested, please contact the parish office at 447-2354.
12:15 MASS DURING LENT
CONFIRMATION
Throughout Lent there will be an additional Mass at 12:15
p.m., Monday through Friday in the chapel.
Confirmation Mass will be held on Friday, March 21 at 6:30
with Bishop Weigand. Rehearsal will be held on Wednesday, March 19 from 5:30-6:30 p.m. The sponsor or a parent
proxy is required to attend. All Confirmandi and sponsors
will meet in the Church Meeting Room on 3/21 at 5:00 p.m.
for line-up. Any questions, please call the office or email
Josephine.
En este primer domingo de nuestro camino cuaresmal Dios
nos ha invitado a venir aquí a fin de darnos la fuerza que necesitamos para la resolución que hemos hecho de cambiar
nuestro corazón y nuestra vida. Escucharemos relatos sobre
tentaciones y la respuesta a las mismas. ¿Qué parecido tienen esos relatos a los de nuestra propia vida? Al escuchar la
palabra de Dios y nos dispongamos a responder a ella durante nuestra celebración de la Eucaristía hoy, oremos para pedir la gracia y la fortaleza de hacer las opciones correctas, así
como para que se nos conceda el perdón y una nueva oportunidad cuando fallemos.
