Jesus loves us so much that He... Chose to remain with us in His glorified human body veiled in the Holy Eucharist.

How do we repay this love?

By simply visiting Him in adoration on Monday, April 7th between 12 Noon and 1:00 PM.

One hour a month… such a payment for being redeemed.

See you on Monday, May 5th, for Holy Hour.

SOCIAL CONCERNS

Continuing our reflection on the Corporal Works of Mercy March / April - Care for Creation

When you think about it, our Lenten preparations show great care for creation. Lent is a time of preparing us for new Life, specifically a Life in Christ. It’s a time for prayer, fasting & almsgiving.

We clear out the old, unwanted and unnecessary debris from our lives, kind of like preparing our garden beds for a new crop of vegetables or beautifully blooming flowers to come, new growth that we will tend with care.

Care for yourself in the same way during Lent.

Prepare yourself to bloom with new Life in Christ.

You are His most precious creation.

Next week we’ll make packets of seeds available for you to plant at home.

Supply will be limited to one per family for now. If seeds are still available the following week,

help yourself to another packet or two.
