We are called to love our neighbor. But, like the scholar in the scripture

passage, we may find ourselves wondering, “Who is my neighbor?” This Lent,

CRS Rice Bowl—Catholic Relief Services’ Lenten faith-in-action program, will

help us answer that question. We are invited to reflect on how an encounter

with our neighbor—as companions on life’s journeys—can be transformative.

We will see how our prayers, fasting and alms can support those worldwide

who are forced to flee their homes to find safety or better opportunities.

Seventy-five percent of your gift supports CRS programs around the world.

We hope you will take a Rice Bowl, available on the table in the commons area,

and participate in this very important program. Please be sure to return your

Rice Bowl on or before Palm Sunday.

CRS Rice Bowl Helps us Encounter Lent

2018 Bishop’s Annual Appeal

The 2018 BAA will kick-off the weekend of Feb. 24/25. It is time for us to do what

we can to support not only our diocese, but the programs and ministries that

benefit our parish and our Catholic community. The BAA supports our Catholic

schools and the education of our future priests and deacons. The BAA supports

ministries that change lives for the better. We are blessed with much; let us be a

blessing to others.

After John had been arrested, Jesus came to Galilee proclaiming the gospel of

God….” - Mark 1:14

Do you ever think about how difficult it must have been for Jesus to come into

Galilee, knowing that John had just been arrested for teaching the same message

that He was proclaiming? It must have taken great love and trust for Jesus to do

what the Father had sent Him here on earth to do. In the same way, following a life

of stewardship takes great love and trust from us. We must be willing to surrender

completely to God, trusting that God will always give us all that we need to fulfill His

plan for us.

Trust That God Will Give Us All We Need
