RICE BOWL CHALLENGE: “The Word of God helps us to open our eyes to welcome and love life, especially when it is weak and vulnerable. But in order to do this, we have to take seriously what the Gospel tells us about the rich man.” (Pope Francis 2017) CRS Rice Bowl helps us encounter new people, places, and experiences with open eyes and open hearts. The CRS Rice Bowl calendar (available at www.crsricebowl.org) provides stories and recipes of individuals, families, and communities from faraway countries.

ARE YOU WILLING TO ADOPT A SEMINARIAN??? For the past several years, our parish has provided baked goods to send to the seminarians after Easter. This year we would like to make our outreach a little more personal by choosing an individual name and developing a short-term or long-term communication relationship with one of our 29 Columbus Seminarians. We are looking for 29 conscientious “Mothers and Fathers” to “Adopt a Seminarian.” Requirements include:• Praying for your “Adopted Seminarian” each day – a lot or a little,
just pray!• Write a personal card/letter with words of encouragement, appreciation
and support. They work long and hard to answer God’s call to become our future priests. Let’s help them on their journey.
• Include a “Sweet Treat” or other small gift to accompany your card/letter on delivery day.
To join us in this effort and for more detailed information, please contact Barb Heiman at 614-879-9069 or 614-309-8009. Delivery will be on or about April 24. Thank you for your efforts. Continue to pray daily for our Seminarians.
The Good Samaritan Food Pantry collection item for April will be personal hygiene items like shampoo and conditioner, deodorant, toothpaste and toothbrushes, or bath soap. What is the one thing you could not do without each day? That is what you should donate to the needy!
THE WOMEN’S GUILD will meet this Sunday, April 2, at 9:00 a.m. in the Parish Library. Join us as we continue to discuss our upcoming projects. All women of the Parish are invited to attend!
SAVE THE DATE: The American Red Cross will conduct a Blood Drive this Tuesday, April 4, 2017, from 1:00-7:00 p.m., in the Social Hall. Please give the gift of life! The need is great! Walk-ins are welcome, but those with appointments are taken first. To schedule an appointment,
go to http://www.redcrossblood.org. Sponsor Code: StSimon or contact Kay Beattie at 614-619-2108.

THE PONTIFICAL GOOD FRIDAY COLLECTION: Pope Francis has asked our parish to support the Pontifical Good Friday Collection, which helps Christians in the Holy Land. Your support helps the church minister in parishes, provide Catholic schools and offer religious education. The Pontifical Good Friday Collection also helps to preserve the sacred shrines. The wars, unrest and instability have been especially hard on Christians. In these times of crisis, the Pontifical Good Friday Collection provides humanitarian aid to refugees. When you contribute to the Pontifical Good Friday Collection, you become an instrument of peace and join with Catholics around the world in solidarity with the Church in the Holy Land. Please be generous!
