Eighth Sunday

in Ordinary Time

No one can serve

two masters.

Today’s Gospel reminds us that we cannot

serve both God and mammon. This means

we must choose either to serve our own self-

ish desires, or choose to serve God and

strive to love Him above all things. Only one

of these choices provides an inexhaustible

treasure in Heaven. Given this, we must seek

in prayer the grace needed to choose wisely.

150TH PARISH ANNIVERSARY

In October 2019, our Parish will

begin a year-long celebration

This is truly a milestone

for our Parish!

To organize a celebration worthy

of this special anniversary, four

Committees have now been formed:

LITURGICAL/SPIRITUAL, SOCIAL,

PUBLIC RELATIONS AND FINANCIAL.

Those interested in becoming part

of any committee, please call the

Rectory during regular office hours.

Important Old Church News

We have a serious roofing problem in our

Old Church. The good news: it isn’t on the

outside and no water or other damage is in-

volved. The inside roof, however, has severe

cracking that needs immediate repair to

avoid any additional internal problems.

We are already talking to people who do this

work and are seeking bids to repair our Old

Church inside roof as economically as possi-

ble, and we hope to start this work soon.

Sadly, this means we must close our Old

Church, effective immediately, until the in-

side roof is in perfect shape. Thank you for

your patience in this important matter.

Please Note: The Old Church is closed

until roofing repairs have been made!

REFLECTIONS FOR THE FIRST DAYS OF LENT

Ash Wednesday, March 1: Prayer

“Therefore, repent and return, so that your sins may

be wiped away, in order that time of refreshing may

come from the presence of the Lord.” Acts 3:19

Pray that you will open your heart to the graces God

wants to give you this Season of Lent.

Thursday, March 2: Almsgiving

“You need patience to do God’s Will and receive what

He has promised.” Hebrews 10:36

Be patient in the little things. Let there be no limit to

your forbearance.

Friday, March 3: Fasting

“This, rather, is the fasting that I wish: releasing those

bound unjustly, untying the thongs of the yoke; setting

free the oppressed, breaking every yoke.” Isaiah 58:6

Reach out today to someone on the fringes at work, in

your family, your neighborhood. Do not be scornful

or look down on anyone who doesn’t fit your defini-

tion of acceptable.

Saturday, March 4: Prayer

“...then she took some of the fruit and ate it.” Genesis

3:6

Pray for those who wish to join our Church and will

come forward tomorrow to make their intentions
