Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
During the weekend of March 14 and 15, our diocese will take up the Catholic Relief Services Collection. The Catholic Relief Services Collection funds six Catholic agencies that work to serve our suffering brothers and sisters around the world. Through humanitarian aid, resettling displaced individuals and families, and providing legal and advocacy services for migrants, the Catholic Relief Services Collection allows us to see every encounter with a person who is suffering as an opportunity to help Jesus in disguise.
In late 2012, a civil war erupted in the Central African Republic, resulting in a government takeover by a rebel leader whose militia included many mercenaries. At a certain point, the new rebel government could not pay their militia, so the mercenaries retaliated by attacking and pillaging the country, targeting many Christians. This violence continued into 2014.
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Office of International Justice and Peace (IJP) and Catholic Relief Services (CRS) worked with the Church in the Central African Republic to raise awareness and advocate for those who were suffering. As a result of their intervention, the United States committed $101 million for Africa Union Peacekeepers and $30 million for humanitarian assistance. The number of African Union Peacekeepers was increased from 1,200 to almost 6,000. Through projects like these, IJP and CRS help the Church stop violence and seek assistance for those whose lives have been destroyed by conflict.
Religious Immigration Services (RIS), a division of Catholic Legal Immigration Network, Inc. (CLINIC), helps members of religious communities navigate the complicated system of visa requirements and immigration laws. In the United States, a community of three elderly sisters faced declining health, which made it difficult for them to carry out the activities of the convent and to travel for doctor’s appointments. RIS advocates helped this community bring two younger sisters over from the Philippines. These new sisters will be able to take care of the convent and help the older sisters continue their religious service.
CRS and CLINIC are two of the six worldwide Catholic relief agencies funded by this Catholic Relief Services Collection. These agencies work each day to provide food, water, disaster relief, and other vital assistance to Jesus in the disguise of suffering people.
Please be generous in the Catholic Relief Services Collection. Your support truly makes a difference.
Most Reverend R. Daniel Conlon, Bishop of Joliet For more information on the Catholic Relief Services Collection and the organizations it supports, please visit www.usccb.org (search “Catholic Relief Services Collection”).

Constructing a new building is always challenging. Design details, funding concerns, building permits and codes, inspections are all time-consuming and worrisome. Building up the community of the church as the living temple of God’s Presence is even more challenging. Much more is at stake. In this Gospel, Jesus overturns more than money tables. He overturns the Jewish understanding of the temple from a building “under construction” to his own body. He overturns our understanding of
death from the end of life to the beginning of new, risen life. He overturns our very selves from an empty lot of unbelief to a beautiful edifice of believers. We are God’s new construction and God overturns all challenges while building us into living signs of divine Presence and saving works. By overturning those aspects of our human nature given to pride, self-centeredness, anger, envy, jealousy, greed, God builds us into living signs of divine Presence and saving work. We become the new temple, the Body of Christ, given over to humility, compassion, forgiveness, healing, service, love. What is at stake is bringing to a beautiful completion the construction of God’s new temple. Source: 2015 Living Liturgy, Liturgical Press

Lent is a season of change and conversion for all of us as individuals
and as a faith community. Our RCIA candidates and catechumen have been on an extended Lenten journey of change since September and their journey, as will ours, will climax with the Triduum. Over the next few weeks, I would like to introduce them to you. Jay Lawrence will be receiving the sacraments of Initiation, Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation. Jay and his wife Sue are already active members of our community, as they have been attending Mass here for years with Sue’s mother. They have recently joined our parish, and Jay has made the commitment to be fully immersed in the faith. Please keep them in your prayers and support them through their journey.

EMC, Usher, and Altar Server positions to be filled, especially with the double Masses on Easter morning.
