4th Sunday of Lent
Published on 2 March 2008 •
“Christ, The Light”
Lent is already half over. I have been doing a little reflecting about myself. I realize I have not been exercising like I had planned, but have kept up looking at the parish list and praying for all of you. That has been the best part of Lent for me so far. This is a good time for all of us to renew our Lenten practices as we move closer to Holy Week.
We have had good turnouts for the Stations of the Cross. I want to remind you about Leonardo DeFilippis giving a presentation of “The Passion by St. Luke” on Friday evening, March 14. I have known Leonardo for many years and his work is incredible. This was the first presentation that he did. This would be a great way to enter into Holy Week.
The Pastoral and Administrative Councils and the Long-Range Planning committee continue to do good work. It is becoming clearer that our facilities are really being used heavily and we will have to do some expansion before long. This is both exciting and scary.
Next weekend we are having a large Youth Retreat that is actually being put on by Carolyn and her team of young adults. Please keep all of them in your prayers. What a great experience that our young people are actually putting on a retreat for other parishioners! I know that they have grown a great deal through this experience.
May this season of Lent continue to be a time of grace for you.
Fr. William
