Clergy Reflection
God Forgives
The Lord said to Joshua, “Today I have removed the reproach of Egypt from you.” After forty years of wan-dering in the desert, this hard-headed people have finally reached the Promised Land. No more do they eat the manna in the desert, but they partake of the fruits of their new homeland. God has kept the promise to their parents in Egypt. Even though they were a sinful people, many times questioning God and even worshiping false gods, God has forgiven them and fulfilled the promise. The “take-away” for us is that there is no sin that is un-forgivable. We may have offended our neighbors, given a bad example to someone, even worshiped the false gods of money and power. But God is a merciful God, true to the words spoken to us. God forgives all and calls us back to love.
This appeal supports Catholic Church organizations that carry out international solidarity and relief efforts. Programs include relief and resettlement services to the victims of persecution, war, and natural disasters. It also helps with development projects to improve living conditions of the poor; advocacy on behalf of the power-less; peace and reconciliation work for people suffering from violence; and legal support services for poor immi-grants. The collection takes place this weekend, March 30 & 31.

Parish Life Parish Lenten Mission
April 1 - 3
“Enlisting Witnesses for Jesus Christ”
Come join us at our Lenten mission! This year, the theme will be "Enlisting Witnesses for Jesus Christ." In an age where people are leaving the Church, it becomes critically important that we live out our baptismal call to share the good news with others. Just like Andrew shared with his brother Peter the encounter he had with Jesus, we are also to invite others to partake of the grace that we have received. Just like Mary went in haste to visit her cousin Elizabeth and brought the presence of God the her, we are also called to be "lights" to enlighten others with the presence of Christ.
Schedule:
6:00 to 6:45 p.m. Optional Potluck Dinner in the parish hall. 7:00 p.m. Prayer in the Church all groups. 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. Mission Presentation in three languages.
Spanish in the Chapel Vietnamese in the Parish Hall English in the Church
8:30 p.m. Closing Prayer in the Church all groups.
Presented in English by Fr. Timothy Mouton, C.S.C., in Spanish by Fr. Agustin Estrada, in Vietnamese by Fr. Tuong Van Nguyen, S.S.S.
There are no 7:00 p.m. Masses on Monday & Tuesday, April 1 & 2. _____________________________________________
LENT The Church invites us to join with our fellow Christians in experiencing our spiritual hunger . . . and in experiencing in our own bodies the hunger that imprisons most of the world. To that end those 14 and over are invited to abstain from meat on Good Friday, and all the Fridays of Lent. Those over 18 are invited to fast by taking only one full meal and two partial meals on Good Friday. The important focus is whatever will bring us closer to God.
