On Easter, we will begin singing the appropriate seasonal Marian antiphon, the Regina Caeli.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Lenten Blessings! I hope Lent is going well so far and I hope people are taking advantage of the opportunity to grow spiritually at our Lenten Mission talks which start this weekend. Choose either Saturday evening at 5:45 after the Vigil Mass or Sunday mornings at 9:30 in between the Masses. Some core things to remember this Lent is first God’s mercy which is always available. Don’t ever be afraid to turn back to Him. Also we can do nothing, NOTHING!, on our own. Our good efforts and penance of Lent are only possible because of God’s grace and His inspiring us to grow in His Love. So let us embrace this truth and cooperate with Him more!

Encouraging the Culture of Encounter with Jesus Christ, His Church, and All People Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Listening Session Regarding Church Scandals This Sunday, October 28 at 9:30 in the PAC we will have a listening session regarding the recent scandals in the church. It will be a time of prayer, sharing thoughts and feelings, and offering support to one another as we journey together during these difficult times. My hope is that this can be a step toward receiving the Lord’s consolation and asking God to bestow even more graces to His Church.
