This week we enter into the Season of Lent.
Encouraged to pray, give alms and do penance
we begin a 40 day long time of preparation for
Easter. I would like to invite you to use this
time well and make it a time of true renewal of
faith. As a parish community we will have a
few different occasions to make it happen. First
will be our Parish Lenten Mission—a special
time of prayer, reflection and spiritual exercise. Please
book your calendars between March 9, 10 & 11, more details to come. Another Lenten project is a series of talks on
the Passion of our Lord given by Fr. Krystian and based on
the Gospels. First presentation will be on Monday, Feb. 23
after evening Mass in our parish hall. This project comes
as a continuation of our Faith Formation for Adults program.
Other usual Lenten events are our Penitential Service on March 11 and Stations of the Cross every Friday
after evening Mass. We will have two Masses offered every day end every Sat. morning at 9:00am.
Dear Friends in Christ let us make this Season a
true time of deep and profound spiritual preparation for
celebration and blessed fruits of the most sacred mysteries
and events of our faith: our Lord’s Passion, Death and Resurrection.
The Word and the Bread of the Eucharist, the mystery and the gift of Easter, remain down the centuries as a
constant memorial of the Passion, Death and Resurrection
of Christ! (...)Together with all Christians throughout the
world, we too repeat those words: Jesus, crucified and risen, stay with us! Stay with us, faithful friend and sure support for humanity on its journey through history! Living
Word of the Father, give hope and trust to all who are
searching for the true meaning of their lives. Bread of eternal life, nourish those who hunger for truth, freedom, justice and peace. (...)Stay with us now, and until the end of
time. Sustain us, we pray, on our journey. In you do we
believe, in you do we hope, for you alone have the words of
eternal life (cf. Jn 6:68).
St. John Paul II
Urbi et Orbi Message, 27 March 2005
In Christ,
