This Program is to use as you wish. If you or someone you know might like to attend, our contact information is given below: Thursdays, February 15th through March 22nd, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. The Door Is Open!

His message is tinged with joy and hope and leaves one with a peaceful sense of being cared for even in the most trying circumstances. All women are welcome to join us for 8 12 weeks, beginning on Thursday, February 15th, from 1 to 3 p.m., in Seminar Room #2.

Stewardship of Time and Talent When we think of Stewardship, we typically think in terms of giving money, but we are also called to be good stewards of our time and talent. An easy way to give of your time and talent is to serve as a liturgical minister at Mass. The parish needs people in a variety of ministerial roles, especially at the 7:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Sunday Masses. Sacristans: Set up and clean the vessels and other items needed for Mass and assist in keeping the sacristy organized. Lectors: Proclaim one of the readings at Mass. Extraordinary Ministers: Assist in distributing the Body and Blood of Christ at Communion. Acolytes: Assist the priest and deacon at Mass and other liturgical functions. Open to Catholic men who have been confirmed and age 18+. Altar Servers: Assist at Mass and open to all youth who have received First Communion. Talk to any liturgical minister, and you will find out that this service adds immensely to your appreciation of the Mass, deepens your relationship with Jesus, and is a good way to meet people. VOLUNTEER NOW! Please contact Deacon Steve at liturgy@stfrancisbend.org or call the Parish Office at (541) 382-3631, ext. 106. 5
