Dear Parishioners and Visitors, Happy Second Sunday of Lent and a very special Happy St. Patrick s Day, and St. Joseph s Day to come later this week to all!! I write to you today to invite you to a very special Parish Mission that will take place on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings, April 1, 2, and 3, at our two parishes. I have invited back to OLGC & St. Ambrose Fr. Fran Pompei, OFM who was here last Fall and gave some really wonderful, moving, inspiring and entertaining presentations on how to find happiness and fulfillment through our relationship with Christ. This Lent, he is coming back to give three nights of presentations on life s deepest and most pressing questions: Why do we and our loved ones have to suffer and die, even innocent children. Why does God allow it? I prayed, I went to church. Why didn t God help me? Why is there so much violence, war, disease. Church is boring. Why do we have to go? How best can I spiritually prepare for the hour of my death? These and other questions will be addressed by Fr. Pompei and so I encourage you to mark your calendars. Not only are they pressing questions for us all, but during this season of Lent, what an appropriate topic as we focus more closely on the sacrificial death of Christ for us. I look forward to hearing from and experiencing Fr. Pompei once again. I hope you will too. God bless, Fr.

A FAMILY PERSPECTIVE from the Office of Family Life Education (A Hope Appeal Agency) Jesus went up the mountain to pray and he was changed. Prayer has the power to change us. This Lent set aside a few minutes each day to pray for members of your family. Pray before each meal and if you are married, spend five minutes in prayer together. News / About Town The Legion of Mary, Binghamton Curia: will hold their Acies Ceremony at St. Ambrose Church, Endicott, NY on Sunday March 24 at 2:00PM.

He will present The Gospel Message More Relevant than Ever. It is free and open to the public. RSVP to Srrose@binghamton.edu or register at htttps:// newman.breezechms.com/form/bf1b1f. Light refreshments after the presentation. Why are Sundays not a part of Lent? Sundays, even during Lent, are a celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ and are not part of the penitential season. We rejoice in the resurrection of the Lord on Sundays. If you feel that forsaking your Lenten sacrifices on Sundays is like cheating then you are encouraged to maintain your sacrifices. A person is certainly free to continue one s Lenten sacrifices on Sundays, but the Catholic Church does not require anyone to do this. Sundays in Lent are not considered part of the forty (40) days of the Lenten season and therefore one is not required to uphold one s Lenten penitence. For example, if you gave up eating desserts for Lent, you may have a piece of cake on a Sunday. The forty days of Lent are considered to be Ash Wednesday through Holy Saturday (up until the Easter Vigil in which it becomes the Easter Season) not including the six Sundays throughout. ******************************** The ST.
