RCIA Update As we begin our Lenten season please keep our RCIA brothers and sisters in your prayer. Priests available for Confession after Masses on Ash Wednesday Operation Rice Bowl Our Lenten Parish project is a fundraiser for Catholic Relief Services called Operation Rice Bowl. Many of us are familiar with this giving project from when we were younger. (Remember your mite box?) The bowl to be placed on your kitchen table or other suitable spot, is a reminder to collect change during Lent to help feed others in the world who do not have the many blessing we share. Imagine how full your rice bowl bank would be if you put in what one cup of coffee cost you for the forty days of Lent. Rice bowls are available on the tables at the entrance to the church. Please take one home and use it daily as a means of prayer and sacrifice and good works. Return the boxes themselves or a check for the amount you collected when we celebrate Holy Week. Thank you so much on behalf of Catholic Relief Services. Lenten Twilight Retreat series Lent is a time when many try to spend extra time in prayer, focusing on the God who continues to call us. Come join us for some twilight retreat time Monday nights during Lent. February 22, and 29, Mar. 7, 14 and 21. This retreat is being organized by Fr Neil Connelly and Mr. Tom Taft. A Life to Live By written by Fr. Jim O Connell, MHM is the text for the five weeks. Each session will begin at 7pm and conclude shortly after 8pm. Prayer, discussion on readings, quiet time and benediction are all a part of the schedule. We look forward to praying together with you for the needs of our parish, ourselves and our world.

Los idiomas antiguos, como el hebreo empleado en la Sagrada Escritura, no siempre tenían la manera de expresar superlativos en una sola palabra. Isaías no tenía una palabra similar a santísimo, así que usó la triple repetición de la misma palabra. Este detalle de minucia bíblica sobre estas tres pequeñas palabras que cantamos en Misa cada domingo sirve para recordarnos que responder al llamado de Dios tiene que basarse en estar consciente de la santidad de Dios. En Isaías y el pasaje del Evangelio de hoy, escuchamos relatos que revelan el poder y la fuerza de Dios: los serafines en el templo y la pesca milagrosa. Estas no son revelaciones maravillosas sin razón. Dan lugar a una respuesta misionera, la de Aquí estoy, envíame! de Isaías y la de los discípulos que lo dejan todo para seguir a Jesús. De igual manera nuestro Santo, Santo, Santo! nos lleva a Cristo en la Eucaristía de cada domingo, y a una vida de seguirlo día tras día. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.

It helps inspire them to improve academic performance and reduce risky behavior, which ultimately leads to stable health, strong personal relationships and gainful employment. You should know that research has proven that CBSBB s integration of mentoring, family counseling and skill building ensures that our mentoring relationships are healthier and last longer than the national average. CBSBB s target populations are children from first generation, low-income communities. Many of the families we work with are overwhelmed by multiple stressors. Poverty, a shortage of skills and a lack of exposure to opportunities are some of the issues our mentees face every day. These children are eager to expand their horizons and having a mentor can be the difference between their current reality and a successful future. You can be that difference!
