Tuition & Notary Public Mrs. Sandy Zaleski, ext. 404 Psalm 51 My Dear People, Queridos Feligreses, Our parish Lenten reading, “Made for More” is offered to you to consider a different way of looking at life. To get the most out of this opportunity I encourage you not just to read the chapters, but get together with friends and/or family to talk about it. Someone else may have noticed something you missed, but just breaking the ice by talking together about these things can lead to some life-changing moments for all involved. Nuestra lectura cuaresmal parroquial, "Hechos para Más "se les ha ofrecido para que consideres una forma diferente de ver la vida. Para sacar el máximo provecho de esta oportunidad te animo no sólo leer los capítulos, pero reunirte con amigos y /o familiares para hablar de ello. Alguien más puede haber notado algo que te no te distes cuenta, pero sólo para romper el hielo hablando juntos acerca de estas cosas puede dar lugar a algunos momentos de cambio de vida para todos los involucrados. As with the previous books from the Dynamic Catholic folks that we have offered you, I hope that you will pass it on to others near and far in order that others may also be touched by these timely truths. Of course, the real value in reading and discussing materials like this are the inspirations you get to act differently, applying these new ideas on how you handle your time, attention, and other personal resources as part of life in the Kingdom of God. Fr. John Al igual que en los libros anteriores de las personas católicas dinámicas que le hemos ofrecido, espero que lo pases a otras personas cercanas y lejanas, a fin de que los demás también puedan ser tocados por estas oportunas verdades. Por supuesto, el valor real en la lectura y materiales n discusión de este tipo son las inspiraciones en lo cual se llega a actuar de manera diferente, la aplicación de estas nuevas ideas sobre la forma de manejar su tiempo, atención, y otros recursos personales como parte de la vida en el Reino de Dios.

FAST AND ABSTINENCE AND OTHER ACTS OF PENANCE FOR LENT 2015 The Bishops of the United States prescribe, as minimal obligation, that all persons who are fourteen years of age and older are bound to abstain from eating meat on Ash Wednesday, February 18, 2015, on all the Fridays of Lent and Good Friday. Further, all persons eighteen years of age and older, up to and including their fifty-ninth birthday, are bound to fast by limiting themselves to a single full meal on Ash Wednesday and on Good Friday, while the other two meals on those days are to be light. All the faithful are encouraged, when possible to participate at Mass and to receive the Holy Eucharist daily, to celebrate frequently the Sacrament of Penance, to undertake spiritual reading, especially the study of the Sacred Scriptures, and to participate in parish Lenten devotions as well as Lenten education programs. Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament is especially recommended. All are encouraged to participate in Operation Rice Bowl which has aided countless hungry persons here in the Archdiocese as well as throughout our nation and our world.

On March 13th the 8th Grade anticipated the celebration of the number Pi (3.14) with several Math activities. Students worked together to construct a number chain that represented Pi to 1,000 digits. Each color represented a different number. They carried the chain to the schoolyard, forming a circle to demonstrate the infinity of the digits…and also formed the symbol for Pi! The students also competed in a Pi recitation contest with the top 3 from each room winning their own “edible” pie! Another memorable day for our soon-to-be graduates to take with them to High School! On March 1, 2015, Saint Martin of Tours Parish Children’s Ministry sponsored a LENTEN GATHERING FOR CHILDREN. The children participated in the Stations of the Cross and made their very own Crown of thorns with clay. 162—St. Martin of Tours 5 JOSEPH A. QUINN, INC. FUNERAL DIRECTORS S.W.
