This Great Lent why not try Christ’s three-part recipe: forgiveness, fasting, and laying
up treasures in heaven. You will find it to be the perfect recipe if you are looking not
only for a resurrected Christ, but also a resurrected you this Easter! COME TO
CONFESSION BEFORE OR AFTER THE LITURGY OF THE PRE-SANCTIFIED GIFTS OR
BEFORE OR AFTER FRIDAY’S LENTEN SERVICE. Just as God’s love for us is personal, so must ours be for Him. As the Christian grows from child to adult, his or her personal response to God becomes crucial. This personal response is the act of confession. God the Father runs to meet and kiss you, like the humble father in the Parable of the Prodigal Son, in the Mystery of Holy Penance. Do not keep Him waiting! Come this week!

Donations Greatly Appreciated
Liturgical Items
Church Maintenance In order to save money on expenses, parishioners are asked to donate household items that are regularly used in the church & hall, such as coffee (decaf), wax paper, toilet paper, paper towels, napkins, paper plates, tissues, dishwashing detergent, brillo pads, hand soap, coffee cups, stirrers, sugar, pepper, salt, bleach, furniture polish, dust cloths, dish towels, etc. Just think what you use around your home is also used at the church. See Betty Reimann with any questions you may have. An increase in your stewardship would also be appreciated since our maintenance, candles, snowplowing, heat & electric costs have also increased.
