Jesus directs Simon to take his boat into deep
water for a miraculous catch of fish. Then
Jesus said to Simon, “Don’t be afraid; from now
on you will fish for people.” Simon and his
partners leave all to follow Jesus (Luke 5:1-11).

RCIA brothers and sisters in your prayer.
Mardi Gras Comedy Night
Priests available for Confession after Masses on
Ash Wednesday
Join us this Tuesday night at 7:30pm in the Church
Hall. For a night of stand-up, improv, and musical
comedy before we begin the Lenten season! Featuring

Operation Rice Bowl
Ash Wednesday Schedule
Our Lenten Parish project is a fundraiser for Catholic Relief
Services called Operation Rice Bowl. Many of us are familiar with this giving project from when we were younger.
(Remember your ‘mite box’?) The ‘bowl’ to be placed on
your kitchen table or other suitable spot, is a reminder to
collect change during Lent to help feed others in the world
who do not have the many blessing we share. Imagine how
full your rice bowl bank would be if you put in what one cup
of coffee cost you for the forty days of Lent. Rice bowls are
available on the tables at the entrance to the church. Please
take one home and use it daily as a means of prayer and sacrifice and good works. Return the boxes themselves or a
check for the amount you collected when we celebrate Holy
Week. Thank you so much on behalf of Catholic Relief Services.

In addition to our regular schedule for Ash
Wednesday we will be adding in a special prayer service with the distribution of Ashes at 4pm. This prayer will be led by the families in the parish religious
education program and is open to all parishioners and
neighbors. We invite you to join us before you head
home from school or work.
Lenten Twilight Retreat series
Lent is a time when many try to spend extra time in prayer,
focusing on the God who continues to call us. Come join us
for some ‘twilight retreat time’ Monday nights during Lent.
February 22, and 29, Mar. 7, 14 and 21. This retreat is being
organized by Fr Neil Connelly and Mr. Tom Taft. A Life to
Live By written by Fr. Jim O’Connell, MHM is the text for
the five weeks. Each session will begin at 7pm and conclude
shortly after 8pm. Prayer, discussion on readings, quiet time
and benediction are all a part of the schedule. We look forward to praying together with you for the needs of our parish,
ourselves and our world.

Su Boletin en Español
¡SANTO, SANTO, SANTO!
“¡Santo, Santo, Santo!”. Los idiomas antiguos,
como el hebreo empleado en la Sagrada Escritura, no
siempre tenían la manera de expresar superlativos en
una sola palabra. Isaías no tenía una palabra similar a
“santísimo”, así que usó la triple repetición de la
misma palabra. Este detalle de minucia bíblica sobre
estas “tres pequeñas palabras” que cantamos en Misa
cada domingo sirve para recordarnos que responder
al llamado de Dios tiene que basarse en estar consciente de la santidad de Dios. En Isaías y el pasaje
del Evangelio de hoy, escuchamos relatos que revelan el poder y la fuerza de Dios: los serafines en el
templo y la pesca milagrosa. Estas no son revelaciones maravillosas sin razón. Dan lugar a una respuesta
misionera, la de “Aquí estoy, ¡envíame!” de Isaías y
la de los discípulos que lo dejan todo para seguir a
Jesús. De igual manera nuestro “¡Santo, Santo, Santo!” nos lleva a Cristo en la Eucaristía de cada domingo, y a una vida de seguirlo día tras día.

CBSBB’s mentoring program enables young people to
expand their horizons, their hopes and their dreams. It helps
inspire them to improve academic performance and reduce
risky behavior, which ultimately leads to stable health,
strong personal relationships and gainful employment.
You should know that research has proven that
CBSBB’s integration of mentoring, family counseling and skill building ensures that our mentoring relationships are healthier and last longer than the national average.
CBSBB’s target populations are children from first generation, low-income communities. Many of the families we
work with are overwhelmed by multiple stressors. Poverty,
a shortage of skills and a lack of exposure to opportunities
are some of the issues our mentees face every day. These
children are eager to expand their horizons and having a
mentor can be the difference between their current reality
and a successful future. You can be that difference!
“Follow Me…”
Don’t forget to let folks know you’ve been here on
Sundays for Mass-check in on Facebook! Be proud
of your parish!
