Dear Parishioners,
We welcome Bishop Matthew Clark this weekend as he begins our 2016
Parish Lenten Retreat. We are happy to have him as the presider at our Saturday 4:30 P.M. Mass at St. James and at our Sunday 9:00 A.M. Mass at St.
John’s. The theme of the retreat itself is “How do we live mercy in our every
day lives?”, and the retreat talks themselves are Sunday, Monday and Tuesday evenings at St. Ambrose at 7:00 P.M. A few additional components: on
Monday, there is a soup supper at 5:30 P.M. in Dailey Hall in our St. John
Neumann School at our St. Ambrose site, and on Tuesday, there is a lunch
also in Dailey Hall at 12:00 Noon immediately preceding a 1:00 P.M. talk in
St. Ambrose Church for those who prefer afternoons to evenings (the Tuesday evening talk at 7:00 P.M. will be a repeat of the 1:00 P.M. talk). Please,
plan to attend this retreat as the centerpiece of your Lenten observances this
year, especially in this Jubilee Year of Mercy declared by Pope Francis.
Indeed, as we continue our parish and personal reflection upon the
Works of Mercy in this Year of Mercy, we continue through Lent with the
Spiritual Works of Mercy, and this weekend’s Work is to “Instruct the Ignorant.” Making sure we take part in the parish offerings of ongoing formation
in our faith (such as our Lenten Retreat) and supporting our parish Catholic
School at St. John Neumann (by sending your children there, giving via our
web site to the support of the school [go to http://
www.peaceofchristparish.org/donations and then click “donate on-line”]
or making special arrangements to help provide scholarships for students
whose families cannot afford to send them) are ways to observe this Work.
Also on Sunday, our RCIA dismissal will take place at the 9:45 A.M.
Mass. Be sure to keep in mind all who will be receiving their Sacraments of
Initiation at this year’s Easter Vigil just five weeks from this weekend: Karen Stolz, William Wilkinson, Juan Figueroa, Leslie Figueroa, Mikayla
Figueroa, Afton Lathigee, Joseph Rodriguez, Valencia Rodriguez, William
Wilkinson Jr., Belle Wilkinson, and Thomas John Wilkinson. Also today,
CYO plays from 1:00 to 4:00 P.M., and our Junior and Senior High Youth
Groups will watch a movie titled Lost Boy this afternoon in St. John’s
Church Hall. Remember also that today is the last of the four 3rd-Sunday
winter “Fuel Collections.” Thanks for your support to keep us warm!
Monday is the 284th anniversary of the birth of our first President,
George Washington; the feast of the Chair of our first Pope, St. Peter; and the
Full “Snow” Moon at 1:20 P.M. (about 4 hours before it rises). Be sure to
celebrate these things by signing up for the 5:30 P.M. Soup Supper (during
which the Moon will rise) and attending Bishop Clark’s 7:00 P.M. talk.
Tuesday (with the Moon very closely below Jupiter), remember to sign
up for the 12:00 Noon lunch and come to either the 1:00 or 7:00 P.M. closing
talk by Bishop Clark for our Parish Lenten Retreat.
Wednesday at St. James:Family Faith, 5:30 pm; and Coffee Hour, 7 pm.
Thursday, it’s only 4 weeks ‘til collecting Operation Rice Bowls.
Friday, let’s abstain from meat and prep our Sunday envelopes.
Saturday, it will already be three years since Pope Benedict’s farewell
address to Vatican City. Also that day, we have CYO in Dailey Hall from
1:00 to 4:00 P.M., and our big Fruit of the Vine event is in St. John’s Hall
from 7:00 to 10:00 P.M. This is always a most enjoyable event, and is so
because of the hard work of a very dedicated core of workers who have been
preparing for this event for the past several months. It raises funds which are
very useful, and also serves as a wonderful get-together for parishioners and
neighbors for a super night enjoyed by all. Thank you ahead of time to all
coordinators of this event, and to all who support it by your presence!
Next Sunday we have Scrutinies, First Eucharist prep, CYO, a Memorial
Service for indigent burials, and a Youth Mass. Check the bulletin for times.

STATIONS OF THE CROSS
The Stations of the Cross began as the
practice of pious pilgrims to Jerusalem who
would retrace the final journey of Jesus
Christ to Calvary.
Later, for the many who wanted to pass
along the same route, but could not make the
trip to Jerusalem, a practice developed that
eventually took the form of the fourteen stations currently found in almost every church.
Stations of the Cross will be held after
the Friday, 12:15 pm Liturgy at St. Ambrose
Church.
Please travel the journey that Jesus
made to Calvary with us.

FASTING AND ABSTINENCE
Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are days of
both fast and abstinence. In the United States, all Fridays of Lent are days of abstinence.
The law of abstinence obliges those 14 years of
age and older not to eat meat. Abstinence from meats
is to be observed by all Catholics 14 years old and
older on Ash Wednesday and on all the Fridays of
Lent.
The law of fast obliges all those from ages 18
through 59 to refrain from eating between meals and
to limit their eating to one full meal and two lighter
meals for the day.
Fasting is to be observed on Ash Wednesday and
Good Friday, by all Catholics who are 18—59. Those
who are bound by this may take only one full meal.
Two smaller meals are permitted if necessary to
maintain strength according to one's needs, but eating solid foods between meals is not permitted.
Be still
and know that I am God.

Since the Parish Office was closed on Monday, February 15 for Presidents’ Day, and
Tuesday, February 16 was a snow day, the bulletin was sent to the printer before the
collection was counted.
Our numbers last week in both the attendance and the collection were down significantly
because of the bitter weekend. Thank you for whatever make-up offerings you can make
this weekend to help us reach our needed income for our ministries.

Spiritual Work of Mercy—Instruct the “Ignorant”
The word “ignorant” has very negative connotations for most people. Indeed, who wants to be considered ignorant? The basic meaning of the word, however, is simpler to understand as a person who is uninformed, unaware or lacking knowledge on a particular
topic. It is not an insult, but a reality that we all need
more knowledge on different subjects especially when
looking at the depth and richness of our faith. There is
always something to learn about our faith whether it’s
an inspiration, new understanding or guidance towards
living our life as followers of Jesus. Jesus told His
apostles to “teach.” As teachers, we must instruct ourselves first, but never act as if we have the corner on
all answers. A true teacher knows where to help folks
find an answer on faith or direct him or her to a resource such as our parish priests for information and
comprehension. As parents we are the first teachers of
our children as we guide them through learning prayers, attending Mass, and partaking in the sacraments.
We are teachers as we interact with extended family,
friends, neighbors. Are we approachable to begin a
dialogue? Do we model our quest for more religious
learning in our day-to-day lives? Are we willing to
share our faith experiences if it helps instruct and direct
someone looking for faith answers? As St. Francis of
Assisi once said, “Preach the Gospel at all times, and if
necessary, use words.”
Some practical ways to live “instruct the ignorant”
are as follows:
† Attend Family Gatherings at Peace of Christ and
be involved in instructing your children in the fait
and preparing for sacraments.
† Attend Adult Faith Formation events such as the
retreat, speakers or other presentations.
† Go on a retreat sponsored by the parish.
† Read the Catholic Courier and other faith-based
publications.
† Support St. John Neumann with time and
financial help if possible.
† Assist with RCIA and Pre-Cana programs.
† Contribute to the support of seminarians.
† Contribute to the Society of the Propagation of
the Faith.
† Work in our Vacation Bible School
† Invite someone to attend Mass or a presentation
with you.

CREATION CORNER
A WEEKLY OFFERING INSPIRED
BY LAUDATO SI, THE POPE’S
CLIMATE CHANGE ENCYCLICAL
FROM THE ENCYCLICAL – “On Sunday, our participation in the Eucharist has
special importance. Sunday, like the Jewish Sabbath, is meant to be a day which heals our relationships with God, with ourselves, with others and
with the world. Sunday is the day of the Resurrection,
the “first day” of the new creation, whose first fruits are
the Lord’s risen humanity, the pledge of the final transfiguration of all created reality.”
FROM THE HEADLINES – the Scar Inlet Ice Shelf in
Antarctica is expected to collapse by the end of
March, due to warming temperatures. It will result in a
rise in sea level. See http://news.uaf.edu/61609-2/.
WHAT YOU CAN DO – one of the Lenten disciplines
is prayer. When receiving the Eucharist, pray for the
healing of our world and for greater care of all God’s
creation.

Community Outreach Day
Saturday, April 30, 2016
Suggested projects are needed for our annual Community Outreach Day. Possibilities are yardwork, cleaning,

projects.
Please submit your suggestions to Jane McGrathBriggs at:
[email protected] or call (585) 288-8835

Women at the Foot of the Cross:
A Benefit Performance for Refugees
Have you ever wondered about the profound pain and suffering of the women disciples as they
watched the crucifixion of their beloved Jesus? Have you ever considered how their pain might
connect with so many refugees today who are also being crucified?
On Monday evening, March 14, (the Monday before Holy Week), the “Women of the Well” will
be telling their stories at St. Ambrose Church (Empire Boulevard at the corner of Culver Road),
7:00 – 8:00 p.m. Come and hear from (1) the woman who anointed Jesus (Mark 14:1-9), (2) the
wife of Pilate, named Claudia in the Tradition (Matthew 27:1-2 and 19), (3) one of the women of
Jerusalem (Luke 23:26-28), (4) the women “looking on from a distance” (Mark 15:40-47), (5) Mary
the mother of Jesus (John 19:25b-30), and (6) Mary of Magdala (John 19:25b, 41-42). After each
proclamation of Scripture, the woman tells her story. It is through liturgical dance (to the Suffering Servant of Handel’s Messiah) that the women “looking on from a distance” make their story known.
Please join us for this powerful program, a benefit to support today’s refugees through the Catholic Relief Organization. Donations are gratefully accepted for this cause. The program is sponsored by the Faith in Action
Network of the Greater Rochester Community of Churches.
