Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Palms Into Ashes
Did you ever wonder where the ashes came from that are used on Ash Wednesday? Does this keep you
awake at night? Now, you have an answer. Every year before Ash Wednesday, we take palms used from
the prior Lent and burn them. These are now the ashes for Ash Wednesday. Spiritually, this shows the cycle in our lives of dying and rising with Christ.
So, if you have ashes from last year, please bring them next weekend and place them in the basket in front
of the altar. They will then be burned so that we can use them as our ashes on Ash Wednesday which is
February 18.
Come on our Parish Pilgrimage/Vacation to Spain and Portugal
Our next parish pilgrimage/vacation will be this fall from October 14-23. We will have a special time visiting Fatima where Mary appeared. We will also be in Avila, Madrid, Lisbon, Santiago De Compostela,
and Toledo. Itinerary and information are in the parish office or simply email me at
[email protected].
The Heavens Were Opened
In the light of so many awful things happening in our world, there was a slight interruption during the Super Bowl. This is the very first time that the team I supported in any sport actually won the game. It is such
an unusual feeling that I don’t know what to do.
Please Help—Feed and Clothe the Hungry
This week the food donated will be going to the Father English Community Center, Paterson, NJ, one of our Catholic Charities
agencies. Here are the items most needed by the Food Banks: Cold Cereal, Oatmeal/Hot Cereal, Pancake Mix and Syrup, Brown/
White Rice, Pasta and Pasta Products (side dishes), Macaroni & Cheese, Soups (canned, mixes, ramen noodle), Cookies
and Crackers, Canned Meats, Fish and Fruit, Peanut Butter, Parmalat. Please consider purchasing low-sodium and low-sugar
items. Please help support our local programs by donating Clothing, Shoes, and Household Items in our donation bin located in
