Fasting is obligatory for those aged 18 - 59, and encouraged for others unless medical conditions prevent from doing so.

More News on our website - www.holynamestalphonsus.com Not everything fits in our bulletin! This week on our website: ► Bishop Damphousse has made new Pastoral Appointments for the Dio-cese ► Lots of Prayer Resources for this coming Lent ► Online Registration for the Northern Ontario Catholic Youth Conference. ► Photos from our Family Winter Carnival.

SEARCHING FOR A CANTOR/LEADER OF MUSIC We are looking for a Cantor/Song Leader at Holy Name of Jesus for the Saturday 4pm Mass. As you know, Jessica is expecting and we will need someone to cover for her when she is not available. Please speak to Fr. Daniele.

Faith grows when we invoke the Lord with confidence, bringing to Jesus who

we are, with open hearts, without hiding our sufferings.

Your prayers are strongest at the consecration at Holy Mass (at the raising of the

Host and Chalice). Each time we look at the Most Blessed Sacrament,

our place in Heaven is raised forever.
