Today’s Gospel Jesus said to Nicodemus: “Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.” For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life. For God did not send his son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him will not be condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. And this is the verdict, that the light came into the world, but people preferred darkness to light, because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come toward the light, so that his works might not be exposed. But whoever lives the truth comes to the light, so that his works may be clearly seen as done in God.

From the Desk of Father Bosco Dear Friends, ‘God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not be lost but may have eternal life.’ We hear these marvelous words in today’s gospel. We could say that they are a summary of the Good News. Sometimes the impression has been given that God had first of all to be pacified before he would forgive us. We have been presented with a picture of God as stern, angry, and unforgiving. Jesus, on the other hand, was presented as being kind, gentle and forgiving. By his death Jesus

changed God’s attitude towards us. But this passage shows that this is not true. It was God who took the first step. It was God who sent his Son to us. What can we offer in return to this all-inclusive love of God?

I wish you all another week of God’s grace in this Holy Season of Lent. Thank you to Tony & Crystal Wedig who are sponsoring the $1 Challenge this weekend in memory of Keith & Dorothy Wedig.

OUR CALL TO STEWARDSHIP

“For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son…” John 3:16

Of all the wonderful gifts that God has given to us, the gift of His own Son is truly the greatest. How can we ever thank God for a gift like that? God does not ask us to sacrifice our own precious firstborn, but He does ask that we be generous in making some sacrifices for Him.

CATHOLIC HERALD___________________________

Issue of March 19, 2015 Every week the Catholic Herald features the “Around the Diocese” calendar that includes upcoming events in parishes and Catholic organizations throughout the diocese. This week’s Catholic Herald also includes a special section on building and renovation. Learn more about your Catholic faith by reading the Catholic Herald. If you do not subscribe but wish to receive the Catholic Herald in your home, contact the parish office.

DID YOU KNOW?_________________________________________________ The Church is One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic. These are known as the FOUR MARKS OF THE CHURCH. The Church is ONE because her source is the three Persons in one God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Flowing from this one source is the unity of One Faith, One Baptism, One Sacrifice, and the same Sacraments. The Church is HOLY because Christ, the head of the Church, has made the Church holy through the gift of the Holy Spirit. The Church is CATHOLIC or universal because Christ has given the Church the fullness of the means of salvation: correct and complete confession of faith, full sacramental life, and ordained ministry in apostolic succession. The Church is also catholic or universal because her mission is to preach the Gospel to the entire world. The Church is APOSTOLIC because the Church continues to teach what the apostles taught, and the Church continues to be guided by the apostles from heaven.

“OUR LADY OF FATIMA PARISH”___________________________________ The Parishes of Holy Rosary, St. Peter, Our Lady of Hope, St. Michael & Immaculate Conception will merge on July 1, 2015 to become one Parish named, Our Lady of Fatima Parish. The 5 Churches and 4 Cemeteries will belong to one parish; THE NAMES OF EACH CHURCH & CEMETERY WILL NOT CHANGE.

LOOKING FOR CLEANING VOLUNTEERS____________ (No responses yet!) Looking for volunteers in groups of 2, to alternate weekly cleaning of Holy Rosary Church basement. Please contact the Parish Office. Thank you.

DAFFODIL DAYS_________________________________ Daffodils that were ordered to support Relay for Life, will be delivered & ready for pick up next weekend at Masses!

BE SAFE THIS ST PATRICK’S DAY______________ Catholic Charities would like to remind everyone to drive safely this St. Patrick’s Day. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, alcohol impaired crashes claimed a life every 53 minutes in 2011. On St Patrick’s Day alone, more than a third of fatalities from motor vehicle crashes– 34 percent– were connected to drunk driving. If you know someone who struggles with alcohol addiction, you can turn to Hope Haven, a non-profit of Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Madison.
