We are looking forward to seeing you at the Mission. Lent is once again upon us. We are called in this penitential season to take seriously the practices of prayer, fasting, almsgiving and other works of mercy, so as to draw closer to Christ. As we begin Lent, we are also called to respond explicitly to Christ’s invitation to conversion of heart. Thus, I would encourage you to take part in the Sacrament of Reconciliation at one of the following : St. Joseph March 21st. 8:00PM |

All we have is a gift from God. The Preparation of the Gifts reminds us of our obligation as followers of the Lord to share our gifts with those who have less. As Catholics, we are called to share with others and to share our time, talents, and treasure with the Church. CHURCH CLEANING SCHEDULE Mar. 16 M. Steffen, M. Clancey SACRISTY CLEANERS Mar. 16 A. Mosber, B. O’Neill Envelopes $4,516.00 $719.00 Lent falls into two parts. In these three and a half weeks, the Gospel texts are taken form the Synoptics and the Old Testament readings are chosen accordingly. The message running throughout is a call to a life of Gospel conversion. The perisopes speak of beginning anew, of fasting, prayer, and almsgiving; of conversion; of mutual forgiveness; of hardness of heart; of love of enemies; of absolute claims of justice and love over ritual and cult; of the call to holiness, and so forth. Occasionally, what appears to be salvation history narrative is interspersed among these moral texts – a story like the call of Naaman or the workers in the vineyard, for example- but, in this context they are meant to be read as call to conversion rather than as referring to Christ or to the Easter mysteries.
