The final lines closed the deal for me: One of the most powerful things that could happen to any of us is that moment when we know we do not deserve to be loved, and despite that, we are loved anyway.

Masses will be celebrated at: 8:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m. (school children will attend), 7:00 p.m. LENTEN REGULATIONS: The following regulations are in place for Abstaining and Fasting during Lent: ABSTINENCE: Everyone fourteen years of age and older is bound to abstain from meat on ASH WEDNESDAY, the FRIDAYS of Lent and GOOD FRIDAY. FAST: Everyone eighteen years of age and older but under the age of sixty is also bound to fast on ASH WEDNESDAY and GOOD FRIDAY. On these two days, the law of fast allows only one full meal a day, but does not prohibit taking some food during the day, so long as this does not constitute another full meal. Drinking liquids during the day is permitted. When health or ability to work would be seriously affected, the law does not oblige. In doubt concerning fast or abstinence, a priest assigned to pastoral ministry or confessor should be consulted. In the spirit of penance, the faithful should not lightly excuse themselves from this obligation. Take a School Tour Our next school tour is scheduled for February 21 at 8:45 am. To schedule a tour, please call 924-0501, ext.11 or Email: l_kinkade@stpatricksmarin.org PRAYER LIST If you have someone you would like to include, please contact the Parish Office.

St. Patrick s Thrift Shop We are happy to accept your donations at the Thrift Shop Wednesdays from 10:00am to 3:00pm and s from Noon to 3:00pm. We are especially happy to accept fine and costume jewelry and religious items. Thank you for your amazing generosity and support! LEARNING TO PRAY THE LITURGY OF THE HOURS The Liturgy of the Hours (sometimes called The Divine Office) is intended as the prayer of the whole People of God; while clergy, monastics, and members of other orders are obligated to pray parts of the Office, all the faithful members of the Church are encouraged to participate in this beautiful practice, which the Catechism describes as being..so devised that the whole course of the day and night is made holy by the praise of God. The upcoming season of Lent, as we prepare for and anticipate the Paschal Mystery, seems like an ideal time to learn about the history of the LOH, and to learn how to pray it. With that in mind, we would like to offer a series of seminars and practice sessions with the goal of teaching and promoting the praying of the Liturgy of the Hours. It is hoped that this effort will support individuals in the enhancement of their prayer-lives, increase awareness of this practice, and act as a catalyst for interest in other aspects and initiatives in the spiritual life of our community. St. Anselm Parish will be holding five weekly sessions during Lent, followed by a sixth follow-up session following Easter. In order to attract the greatest number of participants, it is possible the each section might be presented in a morning or afternoon time as well as an evening time. Another alternative would be to hold sessions immediately following a Mass on Sundays. Following the training, the goal would be to meet as a group on a regular basis (monthly?) and pray Morning or Evening Prayer together. If you are interested in participating in these sessions, please email Deacon Robert Meave (robt88@gmail.com) with your contact information. Please include your parish name, and the session time most convenient for you (Weekday Morning, Afternoon, or Evening, or Sundays @11;15).

From Archbishop Cordileone: Your support of the Archdiocesan Annual Appeal changes lives. The theme for this year s Annual Appeal is 'One Body, One Christ.' In addition to changing lives, the AAA provides a unique opportunity for each of us to collaborate with our fellow Catholics as 'One Body' in the eighty seven parishes of the Archdiocese. Together, we are able to offer significant support to such varied and critical needs as parish ministries and schools, clergy, young adults, social ministries, ecumenical efforts, and the greater Church. As Catholics, we are united in knowing that we are all brothers and sisters in Christ and that we are empowered to use our unique gifts and talents to serve others. We do so through our support of the Annual Appeal, and the vivid demonstrations of support and faith that I witness are a great source of inspiration to me and my ministry. With my gratitude for your continued support of our Archdiocese, and with my prayerful best wishes.
