Just as these snowy winter days will give way to beautiful spring air, so, too, will these days of Lent give way to a beautiful Easter season.  During these days of Lent we are asked to deny ourselves something for the sake of the Lord. And God blesses us for our efforts.  We are asked to use these days of Lent for our deepening spiritual growth and love of Jesus.

During Lent we have many additional weekly Masses available for you as well as Stations of the Cross and Adoration. The Mass times are:

Monday:              6:30 AM, 8:00 AM, and 7:00 PM; 7:45 Stations of the Cross
Tuesday:             6:30 AM, 8:00 AM, and 7:00 PM
Wednesday:        6:30 AM, 8:00 AM, 12 noon, and 7:00 PM; 7:40 Adoration
Thursday:            6:30 AM, 8:00 AM, 12 noon, and 7:00 PM
Friday:                 6:30 AM, 8:00 AM; 7:00 Stations of the Cross

This Lent try to make one additional Mass besides your usual Sunday Mass.  Please try to arrive early with some extra patience as the snow has made parking more complex, and the field is not always accessible.  Thank you to our wonderful parking crews who have aided in assisting people in their parking.  Remember when leaving Mass many people have been double parked.  So, if you are planning on staying after the Mass, please make sure you are not blocking someone in their space.

The number of people attending the Masses has grown so wonderfully.  Please remember to move all the way into the pews allowing others room to sit. 

If you have a wheat allergy, the Church allows the priest to consecrate a low gluten Host.  Please see me 15 minutes prior to the Mass so I can make the arrangements for you. 

Let us remember, God calls us to fast so that we can be set free and purified just like newly fallen snow.  Let us spend time this Lenten season telling the Lord that we need more of Him and, therefore, less of us.  Let’s show Him that we are willing to deny ourselves during these forty days and thus we and our parish can become an ever greater witness to the gospel.

God Bless,
