WEDNESDAYS during Lent: 1:45 PM In the Church*
FRIDAYS during Lent: 7:00 PM In the Church
*Because our school students also attend Wednesday Stations of the Cross, inclement weather may cause Wednesday Stations to take place in the school gym rather than the church. Sign up for our Flocknote text blast system to receive alerts in the event that we need to move Wednesday Stations to the gym. (To sign up for Flocknote, text the keyword OLG1908 to the number 84576.)
The final Stations of the Cross of this Lenten season will take place on Friday, March 31.
~ Week of March 26, 2023 ~
Dear Friends,
One of the opportunities we have during Lent is to deepen our faith in Christ Jesus. The gospel readings for the last two weeks, plus this week, each point to different aspects of faith. The woman at the well encountered Jesus through simple conversation and deep wounds in her began to be healed. Jesus invites her to believe. After Jesus heals the man born blind, and after his subsequent interrogation by the Pharisees, Jesus invites him to believe. Today, in the beginning of the gospel passage after Jesus tells His disciples that Lazarus has died, He says: “And I am glad for you that I was not there, that you may believe. Let us go to him.” Jesus invites the disciples to believe. As we approach Holy Week our Lenten Journey leads us to the cross. May our faith be strengthened so as to carry our crosses and glory in Resurrection.
Thanks to the Knights of Columbus for the Fish Fry on Friday. There was a great response from the community. On behalf of the parish, thank you for your generosity and service.
I’ll be giving a tour of the Church after the 10:00 a.m. Mass this week as part of the Lenten programs. Last year’s tour was of the Church proper, this year we will be focusing on the Sanctuary and Sacristy. All are welcome.
God bless,
Monsignor Prior
