Fast and Abstinence Begins: Our Lenten
Season begins on Ash Wednesday, February 18,
2015. Ash Wednesday is not a Holy Day but it is
a day of fast and abstinence. This means that all
adult Catholics over 21 and under
65 are to have only one main meal
and to exclude all meat products
(beef, chicken, pork) from their
meals that day. Fridays in Lent are
to be meatless as well.

Joy of the Gospel Conversations
Suggestions for conversation groups:
Give your group a name
Choose a facilitator (or ask for one).
Send Sister Emily ([email protected])
the name of your group,
name of group facilitator,
the members in your group,
the address where you are meeting
if not at the parish
When you meet:
Decide how you will proceed.
No set time frame for ‘finishing’ the
book.
Go at your own speed.
Conversation prime.
You may want to keep a journal of
‘prize’ comments for Pentecost.

There is a crib for donations to the Center in the
Gathering Area of our church. Current needs are:
Diapers (all sizes), formula, baby wipes, baby powder,
shampoo, and baby wash. They can also use any
gently used clothing, baby seats, and baby accessories.

Sundays, March 22nd for 10 – 12 year old girls and

opportunity for mothers and daughters to be together

respect for themselves and appreciation for God’s

human life and parent – child communication. $25 per

For the safety of our children, please do
not allow your child to leave during
Mass without an adult.
Your help is needed in caring for our Sacred Spaces
including the rest rooms. It would help us if you take
a few minutes to straighten the song books in your
part of the bench before you leave the church.
Para la seguridad de nuestros hijos, por favor no
permita que su hijo deje durante la misa sin un adulto.
Su ayuda es necesaria en el cuidado de nuestros
espacios sagrados, incluyendo los baños. Nos ayudaría
mucho si se toma unos minutos para estirar los libros
de canciones en su parte de la banca antes de salir de
la iglesia.
NO CELL PHONE ZONE: We remind
all to please turn off all cells phones and
electronic communication devices
when entering the church buildings.
The signals, even from a silenced phone,
interfere with the wireless microphones of the church.
Les recordamos de la manera más atenta que por
favor apaguen sus teléfonos celulares y dispositivos
electrónicos antes de entrar a la iglesia. Las señales,
incluso desde un teléfono silenciado, interfieren con
los micrófonos inalámbricos de la iglesia.
Catholic Diocese of Jackson
This weekend we are asking all parishioners of the
diocese to consider a gift to the CSA. Every gift no
matter the size is vital to the success of the CSA. Our
theme is Called To Serve. Jesus showed us how to
serve when He washed the feet of His disciples; and
He asked us to serve others humbly and unselfishly.
For more on information about the Appeal or to donate
online please visit www.jacksondiocese.org.

a servir los otros con generosidad.
