Remember … We again would like to remind all of our people that we will have special services on Friday evening at 6:15pm, consisting of The Way of the Cross, Scripture reading, mediation, and Holy Communion, followed by a light supper in the Family Life Center. 

 

“Why Catholic?”… We hope that our groups are meeting faithfully and that our leaders are reminding them. Even if you haven’t participated thus far, the remaining sessions would be very valuable. We are still hoping that all groups will finish before Holy Week.   

 

Please…let us all make a genuine effort to make Lent a special time in Our Church.

1. Daily Mass when possible.                        4. A good confession by participating             6. A kinder, gentler people

2. Participating in “Why Catholic?”                  in our Penance Service.                                7. Less negative gossip. 

3. Participating in the Mass of Healing.        5. Prayer when possible in the home                8. More kindness , compassion, 

                                                                          with the family.                                                 and affirmation.

                              

R.C.I.A… The RCIA will meet this Tuesday evening, March 16^th right after the 6:00pm service. Topics: Continuation of the discussion on the Sacraments.

 

Choose Life… During Lent, it is good to think about Jesus’ words, “Amen I say to you, what you did not do for one of these least ones, you did not do for me.” If we do nothing to work for the protection of these least ones, we do nothing for Jesus.  (COLFS Newsletter, San Diego, 11/07)
