PASTOR’S PIECE
“You will look for me but not find (me), and where I am you cannot come.” (Jn 7:34) These may be
appropriate words for the next couple of weeks. It’s my yearly get-away before Lent. I won’t be going to
Mardi Gras; beads are for praying not throwing. I’m headed to the mountains to look for snow.
Hopefully, it won’t be in my backyard in Virginia but on the slopes. If you need a priest, please call a
neighboring parish. My brother priests will be glad to help, except the pastor of St. John’s in Leesburg
(he’ll be with me). Our offices will be open as normal and our parochial staff is at your service. For those
at St. Stephen’s there is no need to break any good habits of devotion to the Eucharist. Thankfully,
Deacon Jack will be sharing his ministry and daily leading the parish in a Communion Service.
In the mean time, for the next two Sundays, bring out your palms! I hope to collect our dried up palms
from last Palm Sunday (or even before). The palms that we have adorning a crucifix, a holy image or
maybe they are part of those sundries that never really found a special place. Regardless, bring them to
church and deposit them in the specially marked basket. We’ll burn them after St. Stephen’s 10:45am
Mass, Sunday, February 15, and prepare them to be our Ash Wednesday ashes.
Join us for the ceremony.
Christ’s Peace,
Fr. Murphy

What are you reading for Lent?
Lent begins on February 18 and provides a wonderful
opportunity to expand our faith and deepen our
relationship with God. Good spiritual reading can add to
this joyfully penitential time. Why not browse the shelves
of the new Mission Office Library and find a volume for
your Lenten journey? The library is open during normal
Mission Office hours.
All Photo Appointments are at the Mission Office
Do you have an immediate family member in the
Armed Forces? As part of the upcoming SKD directory,

your loved one included in the directory, please contact
Kathy Frick in the Mission Office for details.
