February 15, 2015
From Fr. Quint
Dear Parishioners:
Prayer. Fasting, Almsgiving. Please take a few
moments today to reflect on how you would like to
grow closer to God and his people during this Lent
through these tried and proven means to spiritual
growth. Visit with your spouse and children to receive
input and discuss how you can assist each other in
these practices.
In the area of prayer, commit to reading some
scripture. Pray with your spouse and kids more during
Lent. Join in the communal prayers of stations of the
cross or adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.
Worship at daily Mass.
In the area of fasting, make a sacrifice. Give up
your favorite snack, beverage or television program.
Refrain from people and places that lead you into
temptation. Forfeit a night out with friends and donate
the money you would have spent and take the time in
prayer or reflection.
In the area of almsgiving, choose a charity and
make a sacrificial gift. Visit the care center or nursing
home. Make some phone calls to folks you have been
neglecting.
• We’ll see you on Wednesday for Mass as we begin
this sacred season of Lent.
• One of the fondest memories I have of observing
Lent as a child was worshipping at daily Mass. Give
it a try! Maybe once or twice each week join us.
Mass lasts less than 30 minutes.
• I also enjoyed praying the Stations of the Cross with
fellow parishioners. When I learned how to play the
organ, I provided some music for these liturgies.
Guess it was a way to offer up more suffering on the
part of participants as they listened to me hit all of
those clunkers! Many times are available in the
cluster to pray the stations this Lent.
• Faith sharing groups are a great avenue of spiritual
enrichment. On Thursdays at noon in the basilica
basement I lead a group in considering the upcoming Sunday readings. We’ll be done in no more than
45 minutes. Bring your lunch if you like. No homework! Deacon Roger Riesberg will lead a group on
Saturday mornings at 9 am at Groovy Grounds. No
preparation needed. Bring a friend.
• Let’s go to Petersburg Friday night for their fish fry.
The fish is delicious and they are very efficient in
serving. I heard Fr. O’Connor caught most of the
fish they are frying!
• Starting next weekend, our local Knights of Columbus will be hosting the state bowling tournament for
several weekends. We wish them well.
• Representatives from Clarity Clinic, the pro-life pregnancy center in Dubuque, will be at all cluster
Masses on March 7/8 to launch the Baby Bottle Project again. We’ll have three weeks to accumulate
donations.
• Welcome back to our fellow parishioners who
served in Haiti. We look forward to hearing your
stories.

to 40 winners. Tickets are $10. To purchase tickets contact

School during regular business hours. Deadline Mar. 13th.
Regional pairings announced Mar. 15th. Please contact the
Beckman Catholic High School Development Office, 875-7188
with questions.
ADULT FAITH FORMATION AT BECKMAN:
Pope Francis proclaimed this as the Year of Consecrated Life.
We think of the wonderful sacrifices of religious brothers and
sisters. On Monday, Feb. 23 at 7 pm, Sr. Kathy Knipper,
OSF, native daughter of Petersburg will be present to consider
her lived experience as a religious sister and what her vows of
poverty, chastity, and obedience have meant to her. Let’s
pack the place for this 40 minute event.
During the subsequent weeks of Lent, the local priests will
consider how these vows apply to the lay faithful. Fr. Quint will
consider the evangelical counsel of Poverty, Fr. Dole will consider Chastity, and Fr. O’Connor will consider Obedience.
Sessions begin at 7 pm at Beckman. Enter through the front
doors and go down the first hall to the left, first room on the left.
LENTEN RESOURCES: Although Lent can sometimes be seen as
challenge for families, it is good to remember that the themes of
prayer, fasting, and almsgiving give families the opportunity to
renew our discipleship in Christ. Some websites that may be
helpful for families during this Lent include:

LENTEN REGULATIONS † Prayer fasting almsgiving
1. Everyone, 14 years of age and over, is bound to abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday, and
all the Fridays of Lent.
2. Everyone, age 18 and under age 59, is bound to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.
3. On these 2 days of fast and abstinence, only one full meatless meal is allowed. Two other meatless meals sufficient to
maintain may be taken according to one’s needs, but together should not equal another full meal. Eating between meals
is not permitted on these two days, but liquids, including milk & fruit juices are allowed. When health or ability to work
would be seriously affected, the law does not apply.
4. To disregard fast and abstinence completely is a serious breach of the law.
5. Lent is the principal season of penance in the Christian year. All are strongly urged to develop and follow a program of
voluntary self-denial, a time of prayer & performance of works of charity and mercy.
