WEEKLY TOTALS FEBRUARY 25, 2018 St. Boniface, Garner Budget $2,495.00 Other Collections $2,495.00 Weekly $2726.00 ($231.00) St. Wenceslaus, Duncan Budget $620.00 Other Collections $200.00 $820.00 From the desk of Fr, Jim There is still time to join the Revelation Bible Study. The regular weekly sessions continue on Monday, March 5. Schedule: Monday, Duncan at 6:30PM. Tuesday, Forest City at 6:30PM. Thursday, Garner at 1:00PM. You only need to attend one lesson a week. I encourage all parishioners to prayerfully consider attending this special Archangels Cluster Bible Study on the Book of Revelation. The Book of Revelation is one of the most misunderstood books of the Bible for Catholics. This study will put the Catholic teaching on the book upfront. Many Catholics believe that this book supports the media s view of the Rapture that Catholics will be left behind on Earth when Jesus returns. This view is not Catholic and until about 100 years ago was not supported by most Christian churches. Please make this a special Lent and Easter season with the Archangels Catholic Cluster Bible Study on the Book of Revelation!

This week s class, March 7, 2018, the discussion will be: Chapter 22. Christian Prayer and Ceremony Prep. Looking for Ways to Pray and Fast during Lent? Look to 40 Days for Life! 40 Days for Life is a focused pro-life campaign with a vision to access God s power through prayer, fasting, and peaceful vigil to end abortion. Since the first coordinated 40 Days for Life campaign took place in 2007 through the end of 2017: 3,998 lives saved from abortion, 170 abortion workers quit their job and 90 abortion facilities closed. This is a 40 day campaign, February 14-March 25 and we are calling on people of faith across the nation and around the world to fall on their knees before the Lord, asking Him to hear our plea and heal our land. Pray outside an abortion facility. Pray at church. Pray at work. Pray in the car. Pray at home with your family. During the campaign you can receive daily devotionals that focus on Women who are at risk of having an abortion, Innocent children who are at risk of perishing, Men and women who carry the pain of a past abortion experience, Workers at Planned Parenthood facilities and abortion centers, local, regional, and national leaders, Revival and renewal in our churches, Repentance and healing throughout our nation. Visit: www.fortydaysforlife.com for more info and to sign-up for daily devotional emails and join us as we seek God s favor to turn hearts and minds from a culture of death to a culture of life, thus bringing an end to abortion.
