Yesterday, Fr. Patrick Costello referenced the Lord’s Prayer in his homily.
Perhaps, this is our Lenten prayer this year.
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Pray, Fast, Give
We continue our lenten practices. In addition to mass, prayer, reconciliation and adoration we are collecting food donations! We will have a Food Drive to support St. Joseph Food Program. All items accepted, especially low sugar, gluten free, low salt, etc.
To fill specific needs from the warehouse:
5th grade: jelly in non glass containers
6th grade: pasta
