Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
This year the month of February is full of special days! February is the month of the Holy Family, as well as many great saints. Because St. Valentine has his feast day on February 14, our hearts turn to love and kindness. Holy Scripture, tells us, "Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things (1Cor13:7). St. Therese of Lisieux said, "Let us love since that is what our hearts were made for."
St. Valentine's Day is also the start of Lent! On Ash Wednesday, we begin the journey to Easter. We take extra time to Pray, Fast, and Give Alms. How can you make this year different? How can you and your family live the liturgical calendar? In this month's newsletter, look for ways to increase your faith and help your family grow closer to Jesus.
Please let us know how we can better serve you and your parish as we carry out our mission of evangelization to help parishes bring people to an encounter with Christ and a deeper appreciation of the Catholic faith, igniting a joyful witness of their faith to others. (Contact us at Family@diocesepb.org)
May you find peace and love at the feet of Jesus during this Lenten season,
Cathy, Deacon Louie, Beth, Liliana, Andy, Maria, Cindy and Rosario
