Stewardship Scripture Reflection
Third Sunday in Lent
 
“Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again.” (John 4:13)

Jesus reminds us that material things, even something as basic as water, can never satisfy us for long. When we build our lives around material possessions, we always want more. True Joy and Peace only come when we follow Jesus; when we become more “God-centered” and less “self-centered.”

COKAS Respect Life Ministry

Planned Parenthood is still being funded by federal, state, and local governments. They no longer participate in Title X which helped women with breast and cervical screening, family planning and counseling- no funds for abortion were attached to this program.

The P.P. Budget for 2019 increased by $52 million to $616.8 million. The organization and its affiliates receive federal dollars in the form of Medicaid reimbursements.


Prayer of Petition: In our journey as a faith-filled community during our Year of Service, may we all heed Jesus’ call to love one another. May we show our love by sacrificial acts of service in our families, parish and communities.   Let us pray to the Lord.

“The Call to Holiness in Today’s
World”—a Conversation

When: Friday, March 27, 9:45-10:45.  
Join us after Mass.
Where: The Social Hall

What is your mission in Christ?
What activity sanctifies and makes us Holy?
What are some of the enemies of Holiness?
What are some of the signs of Holiness in today’s world?

Join RCIA Director Bill Richards and fellow parishioners for an informal conversation on these and other questions addressed by Pope Francis in his “Call to Holiness in Today’s World”—An Apostolic Exhortation.

This faith formation event is part of Stewardship’s “Year of Service” theme for 2020.
