5 Together in Mission 2018: Let Us Love LENT Dear Brothers and Sisters, Lent is a privileged time of interior pilgrimage towards Him who is the fount of mercy. Let us enter the penitential spirit of Lent. Let us embrace the difficulties, even crisis and make sacred all that surrounds us. God is present to us in the midst of helplessness and weakness. Jesus walks with us as a family and as a community: Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them (Mt. 18:20). We are called to help one another to find God in the merciful face of Christ through: Fasting and Almsgiving, together in Prayer: The law of fasting on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday applies to all persons ages 18 to 59. All Fridays of Lent are days of abstinence. Abstinence from eating meat is to be observed on all Fridays during Lent. This applies to all persons ages 14 and older. The Stations of the Cross will take place on all Fridays during Lent at 7:00pm. May this Lenten season find the whole Church ready to bear witness to all those who live in material, moral, and spiritual destitution the Gospel message of the merciful love of God, our Father, who is ready to embrace everyone in Christ. May Mary, our Holy Mother, woman of faith and sorrows, lead us to her Son. May our faith make us loyal and faithful to Him. Fr. Sang Tran, Pastor Dear Brothers and Sisters, We thank you all for your continuous support to our parish during the Together in Mission The theme of this year s Together in Mission is Let Us Love. The Archdiocese has assigned Maria Regina with the goal of $36,303. We know this is a time of financial struggle for everybody; however, we would ask you to continue to financially support Maria Regina Church to meet this goal. Would you consider, faithfully, a pledge of $80 per family? This way, the burden will be light for each family to donate. With 455 pledges, we would meet our goal, and thanks be to God. May God reward your generosity. Fr. Sang Tran, Pastor It is not enough to say we are Christians. We must live the faith not only with our words but with our actions. Pope Francis
