Pledges made over that amount, as Fr. Joseph Tran explained, will go toward the Our Lady of Grace Pastoral Center Capital Campaign. The new expansion and renovation of Doyle Hall will meet the current and future needs of meeting spaces for our growing Faith Formation programs, and our prayer and social outreach groups. Thank you to those parishioners who have already responded so generously. If you have not yet made your pledge, PSA envelopes are available at the Parish Office, Church main entrance, or online at Please drop your completed PSA pledge/donation envelopes in the collection basket at Mass, PSA box outside the main entrance after Mass, or bring them to the Parish Office.

2 SUNDAY S REFLECTION: People of the Covenant If there is one word that stands out in today s readings, it is covenant. God s faithfulness and goodness serve as examples to us of how to live. Genesis tells the story of Noah and of God s covenant not only with all people, but with all of nature. Never will the cleansing waters of the flood bring their destructive power to all the earth again. The sign, the reminder to both God and nature, is the rainbow in the heavens. The psalm reminds us of this compassion of God, and begs God to remember us, not because of our goodness, but because of God s goodness and fidelity to the promise. God shows us how to be good, not by decree, but by example. HEALING MASS With Fr. Dan Wilder on Tuesday, Feb. 20, with Praise and Worship at 6:30pm and Mass at 7:00pm. All are invited to come and receive God s grace, healing, and love! Questions?
