Dear Friends,
As we embark on this sacred season of Lent, we extend a warm and heartfelt welcome to everyone. This Lenten journey is an opportunity for spiritual growth, reflection and a deepening of our connection with Jesus.
This Lenten season, we reflect on the readings and gospels as they call us to a 'Change of Heart'. Can we bear our cross and follow the example of Jesus as he made his way to Calvary? Let us open our hearts to God so we can make that journey with hope and love in our hearts. May this season be a time of intentional seeking through the teachings of Jesus. By experiencing this journey with him, we are offered grace to grow in our faith, and share in the joy of the Resurrection.
With faith and blessings,
Fr. Rob Bourcy
Pastor

Sr. Barbara's series this year will be a hybrid event! Those who come to the chapel will interact with Sr. Barbara from home, large as life, in an TV screen. Those who want watch from home can view a recording of the event at their convenience.
Save the date - Saturday mornings, 10 am, on March 7, 14, 21 and 28. Sr Barbara will delve into St. Paul's Change of Heart. What does St. Paul have to say to us about Lent and Easter? We often forget that St. Paul, like us, lived in a post-resurrection period. He did not follow Christ until after Christ's crucifixion and resurrection. What messages might he have for us during this season?

FAITH BREAK
Our Faith Formation team, Karen Luke and Anne Gallagher, are continuing their weekly podcast during Lent, bringing spiritual refreshment to your daily life. We are ministers, spouses, parents and friends trying to be disciples and make disciples in our families and parishes.
Take a break from your busy day and spend a few minutes with us each week noticing how God is at work in your real life.
Episodes will drop every Sunday, and the links will be added as they become available.
EASTER FLOWERS: Every year our church is decorated with beautiful Easter flowers, which are purchased using donations from our parishioners. If you would like to purchase Spring flowers to adorn the church and honor a loved one or the memory of a loved one, click HERE for a printable form that can be returned to the church with your donation.
The Global Solidarity Ministry invites you to prayerfully consider contributing to our new project with Food for the Poor. Details will be provided in the Gathering Area at our table and at Mass on 3/7-8. Thank you!
