Dear Friend,
Tonight is the night that daylight savings time ends!
Don't forget! Before you go to sleep, move any analog clocks that you have one hour forward. When we gather for Mass tomorrow morning, we anticipate being on the new time. Frequently when this happens in the Spring, it means that the time for Mass can come as a surprise (we lose an hour of sleep).
We've heard from more than one parishioner that their Lenten commitment is to redouble their commitment to making it to Sunday Mass. (This is a good commitment to make if you are still looking for something to fill your Lenten practice).
We just want to make sure that the end of daylight savings time doesn't cause anyone to have any disruptions in having a fruitful and rewarding Lent!
Key notifications for the week ahead, and other ideas of how you can make the most of your Lenten Journey, are listed below.
Stations of the Cross
Join us every Friday during Lent in the church at 6:30 PM for the Stations of the Cross. This meaningful devotion prayed together in a group allows us to walk with Christ on His journey to the cross, reflecting on His sacrifice and love for us. We look forward to sharing this sacred time with you.
Taizé Prayer Service
As we journey through the sacred season of Lent, we invite you to join us for a special Taizé prayer service on March 26, 2025, at 7:00 PM in the church.
This service will offer a serene and contemplative atmosphere, enriched with meditative chants, scripture readings, and silent prayer. It is an opportunity to deepen our spiritual connection and prepare our hearts for the celebration of Easter. We hope you can join us for this peaceful and spiritually nourishing experience.
Parish Mission - March 30 & 31
Join us for two nights of spiritual renewal as we welcome Angela Scaperlanda Bujan to speak at the annual Parish Mission held with Saint Benedict Parish. She will speak to us about spiritual end emotional resilience and provide tools for us to weather the difficult moments with face in life through the gift of faith. The talks will be held on Sunday, March 30, 2025 from 6:00pm to 7:30om and on Monday, March 31, 2025 from 6:30pm to 8:00pm held in the parish chapel - 3557 N. Hermitage.

We're called to participate fully in Mass by engagement with our mind, our heart, and our lived experiences through and with each other.
