Dear Friends,

The season of Lent is a very busy time for the parish community. This Wednesday marks the beginning of another Lent/Easter season with ashes being given. Mass will be at 8:00 am and 12:05 pm in the church with ashes. Scripture Services with ashes will be at 6:30 am in the daily Mass chapel, 10:00 am, 4:15 pm, and 5:30 pm in the church. Confessions will be heard from 1:00 - 3:30 pm. 

Fridays during Lent will find our Fish Fry in Fenlon Center from 4:30 - 7:00 pm with proceeds going to Habitat for Humanity as St. Patrick builds another house. The Stations of the Cross has a new location which will be in the church at 6:00 pm. Different ministries will lead the Stations.

During Lent our Lent/Easter resource table will be in the Narthex so that everyone can take great resources with them for Lent and even share them with other people. 

Our Fall theme will deepen for Lent/Easter, moving from ‘Look Twice - I will look twice until I see Christ in you’ to the new theme, BE CHRIST - WILL YOU SEE CHRIST IN ME? 

Please mark your calendar for the week of April 13 for Holy Week. It begins with Palm Sunday and continues with Holy Thursday, April 17, Good Friday, April 18, Easter, Vigil April 19, and Easter Sunday, April 20. 

Blessings on everyone as we begin this Lent/Easter journey.  

Peace in Christ,

Fr. Eric
