Lent is a time set-aside to prepare to celebrate the Paschal Mystery of the Lord’s death and resurrection at Easter. We continue our celebration of the Sacrament of Reconciliation this Wednesday evening at 6:45 pm at Our Lady. Friday evenings at 5 pm (before Stations) and Saturdays before Mass are also opportunities to celebrate the sacrament. Next week our parishes will take up The Catholic Relief Services Collection. Your support for this collection gives aid to victims of persecution and natural disasters, provides legal services to poor immigrants, and advocates for the powerless. Through your generosity, six Catholic agencies help Jesus in the guise of the vulnerable refugee, the immigrant family, and the poor and marginalized. Next week, please give generously to the collection and help Jesus in disguise. Learn more about the collection at www.usccb.org/catholic-relief. The Bishop Lucker Lecture will be a virtual event this year Monday, March 8 at 7 pm. Johnnette Benkovic Williams will present her Journey of Faith. We will live stream it at St. Philip’s Social Hall and Our Lady Parish Center for those who would like to gather for it. Please remember to set your clocks one hour ahead before going to sleep on Saturday March 13th as we begin Daylight Savings Time. We will be streaming Mass live on our website using Facebook Live every Sunday at 8:00 am. You can follow us at https://www.facebook.com/pg/Shepherd-Of-Souls-AFC-109977054166477/videos/. The video will remain on our website after the mass is over. Again, I want to thank you for your continued financial gifts to your parish.
