Council of Catholic Women This council began approximately 100 years ago by a group of women in Washington DC who were asked by a local bishop to do a number of things. It grew from there to levels in diocese & parishes. Our Bishop has chosen to organize the parishes of the Diocese of Madison into "vicariates forane" in an effort to better provide for the pastoral care of souls through common action (CIC c. 374). Sometimes called "deaneries," vicariates forane are a means to subsidiarity and allow a greater sensitivity to the extraordinary diversity of pastoral situations in the diocese. They render the coordination of pastoral action easier, encourage unity in a region, improve the efficiency of organized pastoral initiatives, and better provide for the needs of a particular community. These women s groups meet monthly and present topics dealing with human issues and parish community. Each parish decides what they want to do for meetings and service projects. The Vicariates bring the parishes together. Currently, Saint Cecilia Parish does not have an organized women's group. In June, we are hosting the Sauk Vicariete meeting. There is a planning meeting scheduled for March 9th at St. Joe s in Baraboo. If any of our ladies would like to attend this, it may be an opportunity to get more information from other parishes and then perhaps start the ground work of building on our current women's participation in service to the parish. If you have any questions or would like to attend this planning meeting, please call the parish office or Ellen Dargel at 356-7646.

I have been in choir ever since. If you think of singing in a choir as praying, then you can join, as most of us know how to pray. I am not the best vocalist, but what I have learned over the years has made me better than when I started. I have loved the challenges of learning chants, participating in Latin Mass, and performing Vivaldi s Gloria.. Choir is community and members provide support when you need it the most. Consider joining the choir!

No Greater Love: A Biblical Walk Through Christ's Passion Five week Lenten video series and full-length book beginning March 11 th at 2pm & 6:30pm Cost $30 Contact Dave Kordell at 608-393-1719 or dkordell@dellscatholic.com Filmed on location in the Holy Land, No Greater Love is a biblical pilgrimage that reveals Christ s amazing love for us. Best-selling author Edward Sri guides you through the last hours of Christ's life. You will walk step-by-step with Jesus from the Garden of Gethsemane to the Mount of Calvary. Every step of the way, Old Testament prophecies, messianic expectations, biblical symbolism, and historical context shed light on the mystery of Christ's suffering and death. With these insights, Catholics can come to a deeper understanding and appreciation of God s immeasurable and unconditional love for drawing closer to Jesus than ever have before. Authored and Presented by Edward Sri, No Greater Love also features: Fr. Mike Schmitz, Jeff Cavins, Jennifer Fulwiler, Curtis Martin, Teresa Tomeo, Fr. Josh Johnson, and Elizabeth Sri. What was Jesus going through at each moment? How did the Old Testament foretell of Christ s death? Why did Christ die for us? What did it accomplish? What was the meaning behind the tearing of the temple veil, the crowning with thorns and other events during Christ s Passion? What do the cryptic last words of Jesus mean?

In today's Gospel, Jesus gives us the challenge to: "Love your enemies...give to everyone who asks of you...do to others as you would have them do to you...be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. Give, and gifts will be given to you; a good measure, packed together, shaken down and overflowing will be poured into your lap; because the standard you use will be the standard for you."
