IMPORTANT MEETINGS FOR PARENTS

Thank you for supporting your child’s spiritual wellbeing and for taking time out of your busy schedule to help you prepare for your child’s First Holy Communion. The meetings are ONLY for the parents and it is not necessary to bring your child who is preparing for a Sacrament to these meetings. Please mark your calendars and make plans to attend.

FORGIVENESS People who cannot forgive others break the bridge over which they must pass if they are to reach heaven; for everyone has a need to be forgiven. —George Herbert

STRONG BELIEFS Strong beliefs win strong people and make them stronger. —Walter Bagehot

FORGIVING AN ENEMY Who has not forgiven an enemy has not yet tasted one of the most sublime enjoyments of life. —Johann Kaspar Lavater

REPENTANCE Of all human acts, repentance is the most divine. The greatest of all faults is to be conscious of none. —Thomas Carlyle

Prayer, fasting, and almsgiving: these disciplines, prescribed by Jesus himself in the Sermon on the Mount, along with strict instructions not to flaunt them in public to win recognition and praise (Matthew 6:1-18), have been embraced by all the saints at the beginning of every Lent for almost two thousand years. But mention Lent, and many react with a grimace or slight shudder—even now, years after official obligations have been reduced to a minimum! No wonder the Eastern Rite’s “Lenten Announcement” sounds surprising: “Let us receive with joy, O faithful people, the divinely inspired announce-ment of Lent! The Lenten Spring shines forth! Begin the fast with joy! Let us fast from passions as well as food, taking pleasure in the good works of the Spirit, and ac-complishing them in love!” Saint John Chrysostom, whose feast is September 13, elaborates: “Do you fast? Give proof by your works. If you see a poor person, take pity. An enemy, be reconciled. A friend gaining honor, don’t be jealous.” A positive approach! May the saints help us keep such a Lent! —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

The retreat will be held on Saturday, March 6th 5 PM - 9:30 PM in the BOSCO hall

Sunday, March 7th

8 AM - 5:30 PM in the BOSCO hall Renewal of vows right after 5:30 Mass
