Peanut Butter

We sincerely thank you and Praise God for your continued generosity...

Memorial Easter Flowers

There are envelopes available for parishioners who are interested in making a

donation to the parish for Easter flowers. We suggest this donation be given in

memory of a deceased loved one. The names of loved ones who are being

remembered will be mentioned in the Easter bulletin.

Any donation will be accepted.

RECONCILIATION SERVICE:

As a means of preparation for our Parish Lenten Reconciliation Celebration on Tuesday night

this week (SK Worship Site at 7 pm.), everyone is invited to pray about and ponder 2 words.

The first is a word of thanks to God for a particular grace, favor, strength or gift. Our primary

reality before God is, after all, that of being blessed.

The second word is a word of sorrow for a sin, a failure or a weakness to which we have

succumbed. Our reality before God also includes our need to be forgiven.

At our Reconciliation service, each one of us will be invited to speak first your word of thanks,

and then your word of sorrow, to Fr. Michael, who will then pray the words of absolution over

you. Two words.

CWL memberships can be paid in a regular envelope with your name

and placed in the collection basket.

Busy Bees

Ladies, are you free on Wednesday morning? Why not join the busy bees at St. Kevin's.

Come and see what we are doing. Everyone is welcome. We meet at 10:00 a.m.

Lenten Taizé Retreat A retreat in the style of Taizé focuses on prayer services using short and simple sung refrains such as "Jesus Remember Me". The refrains are very easy to learn and through repetition they become prayerful and mantra like. The services are punctuated with readings and silence; they

take place on Friday evening, Saturday morning, afternoon, and evening, and on Sunday morning. The retreat finishes with Mass before lunch on Sunday. There will be a few brief inputs on the theme of LENT MOVING TO EASTER as well as optional sharing groups.

No musical training is required. Director: Fr. Erik Oland, Jesuit musician and retreat director

Date: Friday April 4, (7 pm) to Sunday April 6 (1 pm), 2014 Cost: $220.00, all inclusive Reservation: Call 705-522-3502 ext 0 or at loyola@isys.ca .

FINANCIAL PRESSURES? Each month, St. Alban’s Church in Capreol hosts the “Good Neighbour Café”. Beginning at 5pm, this is a

dinner designed for those who are currently feeling financial pressures and could use a little boost. They are for

the whole family: single mothers with children, the unemployed, and those individuals and families who are

under the grips of debt that severely limits good and healthy food consumption. We are offering full course

meals at no cost, but those who wish to may make a donation of $2 per person or $5 per family, which is

recycled into the next dinner. Invitations are not needed, but anyone who desires them, may call Valerie at 969-4318. The next dinner is on Friday, March 28th.

Meatless Soup Supper and Stations of the Cross

This year, a meatless soup supper will be offered every second Friday during Lent.

Beginning at 5:30 pm and continuing until 7:00 pm

(come any time in between)

a simple meal of homemade soup, along with a bun, will be offered.

Come and join us in a time of fellowship as we journey towards Easter, remembering that

Christ suffered, and died for us on a Friday.

Following this meal, you are invited to stay and pray the Stations of the Cross in the Church

at 7:00 pm.

These suppers are being hosted by the Catholic Women’s League of St. Kevin’s.

All events will take place at the St. Kevin’s Hall Site.

The dates are: Friday March 28, April 11.

All meals are open to everyone. There is no cost- a freewill offering will be accepted, all of

which will be given to the poor.

EIGHT YEARS OLD THIS YEAR?: If so, and if you wish to begin receiving the gift of God in Holy Communion, registration

forms for the preparation for this Sacrament (along with Reconciliation) are available from Fr. Michael following any Parish Mass. Eight years of age is normally considered the minimum age for this program, although Fr. Michael will make exceptions for various

reasons, if asked. There is no “maximum age”, of course.

Value of the month for March Honesty The virtue of honesty is speaking truth and creating trust in the minds of

others. Honesty encourages sincerity transforming our actions.
