Our parish open forum will be on Monday, February 8th, from 6:30pm-7:30pm. I will use this time to present on Lent at our parish, discuss our parish use of HOME campaign money, and and general discussion from the parish community.
Lent begins on February 17th with Ash Wednesday. Our Masses for the day will be 8:30am, 6pm, and 7:30pm (Spanish). Confessions will be heard 8am, 5:30pm, and 7pm. There will also be an imposition of ashes ceremony at 12:15pm, this is not a Mass and there will not be communion.
On March 13th Deacon Hicks Armor will be with us to present our Lenten Day of Recollection on stewardship. His first conference will be at 9:15pm and the day will conclude at 12:05pm following a Holy Hour and confessions.
Each Friday in Lent we will have Stations of the Cross in English at 6pm and in Spanish at 7pm. The Knights of Columbus will hold their fish fry. Further details on these fish fries are still being worked out by the Knights of Columbus.
Our parish will not have a Lenten Penance Service this year. Nevertheless, confessions are heard each Wednesday at 6pm, Saturday at 9am and 4:30pm, and Sunday at 7:30am, 9:30am, 11:30am, and 1:30pm. Confessions are also heard by appointment.
During this Lenten season our Parish Lenten Challenge has been entitled “Staying in Touch Lenten Challenge.” During the Lenten season I ask that you call a new member of our parish each day or each week to see how they are doing. This could be someone who you know or don’t know. Due to the difficulties of COVID-19 it is easy for us to grow apart as a community, so we must continue to work hard to build up these relationships and to remain a welcoming community of Christ’s love.
In Christ,
Fr. Dustin Collins
