March 17th, 2019 - Second Sunday of Lent
From Fr. Suresh
TODAY’S READINGS First Reading: Genesis 15:5-12, 17-18
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 27:1, 7-8, 8-9, 13-14
Second Reading: Philippians 3:17 - 4:1
Gospel: Luke 9:28b-36
GOSPEL ACCLAMATION “From the shining cloud the Father’s voice is heard:
This is my beloved Son, hear him.” - Matthew 17:5
2ND SUNDAY OF LENT… WE ARE ALL INVITED INTO SPIRITUAL TRANSFORMATION As we march through Lent, it can be easy to think it's all about sacrifice. No chocolate, no alcohol, no meat on Fridays.
Yet here, only in the second week of Lent, we have the story of the transfiguration. This reading reminds us of the
"why" behind what we do. We don't fast from dessert to lose weight. We don't donate money or serve others because
it's merely a nice thing to do. Lent is about transformation!
Peter, James, and John trudged up the mountainside behind Jesus. This must have been a difficult hike, because when
they reached the top, "Peter and his companions had been overcome by sleep." Despite our best efforts, perhaps we,
too, can be asleep to the deeper meaning of the Lenten season. Jesus is transfigured while they slumber, but eventually
they become "fully awake, [and] they saw his glory and the two men standing with him."
This is no small thing! The disciples witness Jesus in his divine splendor and see the miraculous apparitions of Moses
and Elijah. The entire mountain becomes a spiritual breakthrough. "A cloud came and cast a shadow over them, and
they became frightened when they entered the cloud." These symbols are present in the Old Testament. They are
present on Mount Sinai when Moses prayed alone and received the 10 Commandments. Elijah had a similar experience
when he prayed alone before God. But here are ordinary men, former fishermen, who have been drawn up into an
adventure beyond their wildest expectations. Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah, the fulfillment of all that came before.
But Christianity is not the religion of the elite, where only the select few are allowed to participate. We are all invited
into spiritual transformation. Lent is a privileged time for this!

Wishing you all a wonderful, prayerful week as we continue our Lenten Journey!

LENT— GUIDELINES FOR FASTING AND ABSTINENCE
Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are both days of fasting and abstinence. We are also obliged to observe abstinence
(but not fasting) on all Fridays during Lent. According to Canon Law, the law of fasting binds all Catholics from the
completion of their 18th birthday to the day after their 59th birthday.
The law of fasting allows only one full meal a day, but does not prohibit taking some food in the morning and eve-
ning, or the full meal may be taken in the evening instead of midday. The quantity of food taken at the two lighter
meals should not exceed the quantity at the full meal. The drinking of ordinary liquids does not break the fast.
The law of abstinence binds persons from the completion of their 14th year, so the law of abstinence applies to Catho-
lics from the day after their 14th birthday and onward throughout life.
The law of abstinence forbids the consumption of meat, but not of eggs, milk products or condiments made of animal
fat. Abstinence does NOT include meat juices and liquid foods made from meat. Thus, such foods as chicken broth,
consommé, soups cooked or flavored with meat, meat gravies or sauces, as well as seasonings or condiments made
from animal fat are NOT forbidden. So it is permissible to use margarine and lard. Even bacon drippings which con-
tain little bits of meat may be poured over lettuce as seasoning.
For further information see sections 1250-1253 of Canon Law.
BLOOD DONATIONS DURING LENT
On Saturday, March 30th, members of the Parish
who qualify will be able to give blood donations
between 9:00 am and 1:00 pm. We have already

PARISH NEWS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
NEW MULTI-PURPOSE SPORTS HALL
Building and Growing Together for Our Future!
Plans are well underway for this spectacular
new addition for our School and Parish, with
the goal to have it open by September 2020,
the 50th anniversary year of our school! The
two-storey facility will provide the school with
over 23,000 square feet of much-needed added
space. It will feature a large basketball court,
which can be used for other activities such as
netball, volleyball, badminton, discos and
gymnastics. The building will also add ten
classrooms, one of which will be utilized for
drama classes. Other features include new changing rooms, a concession stand, PE and security offices, and separate
bathrooms for adults, staff and children. A large cistern will be included, so that water in the building can be recycled.
It will also have an elevator, providing easy access to the second floor for persons who have special needs. MJM has
also designed the facility to serve as a hurricane shelter. The exterior of the building will feature a covered drop-off
lane, landscaping, and more than twenty additional parking spaces.
Any individuals, families, or corporations who wish to support this project may contact the St. Ignatius School or
Church offices for further information and to obtain a donor packet. We are accepting one-time donations, or
monthly payments over the next 18 months. The lobby of the new building will feature a spectacular donor tree,
so that all of the top contributors to the project will be on permanent display. Thank you for your support!

PARISH NEWS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
ST. IGNATIUS/DOROTHY RICE SCHOLARSHIP FUND —
NOW IN OUR 22ND YEAR ASSISTING FAMILIES WITH SCHOOL TUITION!
The St. Ignatius/Dorothy Rice Memorial Scholarship Fund assists families who are not able to
afford the full tuition at St. Ignatius School (which averages about $9500 per year). Each year
we help to keep children in our school who otherwise couldn’t afford a Catholic Education.
Over the past 21 years we have assisted nearly 180 children from over 120 families!
The average child in this programme receives about $200-$300 per month off the fees, paid by
the scholarship fund (directly to the school bursar), while the child’s family pays the rest.
In return for the help, the families actively contribute to the school and parish in a variety of ways (helping out with
fundraisers, chaperoning school trips, cleaning the grounds, assisting at sports days, serving on committees, etc.).
How you can help:
Donation envelopes are available at the front entrance of St. Ignatius Church or in the church office. Donations can
be dropped in the collection, sent in by mail or dropped off at the church office. If paying by cheque, please make
your donations payable to: ST. IGNATIUS, and in the memo, please indicate “Scholarship Fund”.
On-line transfers can be done through Butterfield Bank… contact May in the parish office for details.
Perhaps your company would like to assist with regular contributions OR a one-off donation?
Please consider the Scholarship Fund from time to time when doing your charitable work throughout the year!
Many thanks to all those who have contributed to the fund during recent months and during the past several years!
For further information, please contact Jeremy Rice in the Parish Office or via e-mail: [email protected].
