WE ARE TO BE TRANSFORMED
Today’s showing forth of God’s glory is filled with a light that astonishes and reveals. Jesus transfigured on Mount Tabor energizes even the sleepy apostles, who see but cannot get hold of it. They can be forgiven for not apprehending the full meaning of this extraordinary vision of a transfigured Jesus with Elijah and Moses. The whole of the Law and prophets is summed up here on this mountain.

40 C F 40 D L Help fight hunger by planning to give at least 40 cans of food during this coming Lent season. We, the Knights of Columbus, Council 3291, are asking that parishioners and members of the parish community contribute at least one can of food for each of the 40 days of Lent, continuing until Monday, March 28th, cans of food are to be deposited at the main entrance of the church off of Pike Street and at the entrance off of the school parking lot. Each Sunday after the 4:00 pm Mass, the can goods will be gathered and stored for later distribu-tion to St. Patrick’s Food Pantry and the Family Promise Program. Our goal this Lenten Season is to collect at least 1,000 cans of food. We must caution each of you that the cans of food must be useable, meaning that the expiration date must be in the year 2016 or later. Anything that is not current will be discarded. Any questions may be directed to Albert Dascenzo, K of C Chairperson, at 724-745-1445.
B G F F N ! It is that time of the year for our Annual Lenten Fish Fry. Baked goods are needed for dinners and take-outs every Friday until March 18.
