It’s because of your generosity that we are able to respond when disasters and conflicts strike. Your donations means that we can help provide for even more families forced to flee with protection, food and shelter. And what better time than the third week of Lent, which we will be praying and learning about Almsgiving and Charity.
As Fr. Mark mentioned this last weekend in mass, there will be a second collection this week for Ukriane. You can put your donation in the collection basket, drop off at the Parish Office, donate online on the website or APP to the special Ukraine collection or text UKRAINE to 815/513-6368. We stand in solidarity with the people of Ukraine!
Дякую means thank you in Ukrainian. One simple word that means so much right now.
Jesus, Immanuel, be with the Ukrainian people.
Jesus, Son of David, have pity upon victims of war.
Jesus, Suffering Servant, lead us all to empathy.
Jesus, Good Shepherd, teach us to respond with prudence.
Jesus, Prince of Peace, bring an end to aggression.
Jesus, Redeemer, create a path to healing.
Jesus, King of Glory, embolden your image in humanity.
Have a beautiful week and please let the parish office know if there is anything we can do for you. God bless ~

Stations of the Cross are a 14 step devotion that commemorates Jesus Christ's last day on Earth as a man. The 14 stations focus on specific events of His last day, beginning with His condemnation.
Let's Pray Together His journey on the Via Dolorosa every Friday at 7pm during Lent.
- On March 18, Our Religious Education students will lead us through the Way of the Cross with their unique Shadow Stations.
- On March 25, together we will pray the Stations through the eyes of Mary, our Mother. On this feast day of the Annunciation, our focus on the Lord's passion will be prayed through song and interaction.
(Each night of stations is anticipated to be approximately 30 mins.)

Look at the "old way" Confession was heard compared to the "new way".
You now can be face to face or not, which ever you are more comfortable with.
And while you are in there, you can admire the gorgeous window of The Apostle's Creed -
The Forgiveness of Sins
-Crossed keys. The power of the church to forgive and to retain sins.
-Cross and drops of blood, the atonement through the blood of Christ.
-Hand of Priest. Stole suggesting the Absolution: Ego the Absolve.
You can have your confession heard every Saturday 8:30-9:30am (except April 16th), Monday, April 4th 7-8pm or by appointment.

Our "Martha's" were in helping us out with a few projects and they decorated the brick cross in the conference room for St. Patrick's Day. These bricks are the last of the convent that used to be where the Parish Office is now.
We love when they come in to help out - we know we are going to laugh a lot and memories will be made that we will cherish a lifetime!
