MARRIAGE PREPARATION
It is necessary to contact a priest 6 months before
the Date of marriage. Pre-marriage preparation is
also required for the Sacrament of Marriage.
“I AM”
Kindness and mercy are what the enslaved people of Israel needed, and they came in the form of deliverance. They came
through a leader, Moses, who was once plucked from the Nile River and was now herding his father-in-law’s sheep in the
land of Goshen. The bush that burned but was not consumed shows us that God is inexhaustible mystery.
Moses’ awe and deference are mixed with a touching conversational tone as he seeks to learn God’s name. And God sweetly
responds. The somewhat abstract “I AM” distinguishes the God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob from the minor gods in the
territory who “are not.” They are helpless, powerless, and useless. Moses is to step out into an amazing future, and God will
be there with outstretched arm. Just go and see, God seems to say. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

The First Sunday of Lent
40 CANS OF FOOD
FOR 40 DAYS OF LENT
Week 2
314
cans
=
Total
543!!
Help fight hunger by planning to give
at least 40 cans of food during this
coming Lent season. We, the Knights
of Columbus, Council 3291, are
asking that parishioners and members of the parish
community contribute at least one can of food for each of
the 40 days of Lent, continuing until Monday, March 28th,
cans of food are to be deposited at the main entrance of the
church off of Pike Street and at the entrance off of the
school parking lot. Each Sunday after the 4:00 pm Mass,
the can goods will be gathered and stored for later distribution to St. Patrick’s Food Pantry and the Family Promise
Program. Our goal this Lenten Season is to collect at least
1,000 cans of food. We must caution each of you that the
cans of food must be useable, meaning that the expiration
date must be in the year 2016 or later. Anything that is not
current will be discarded. Any questions may be directed to
Albert Dascenzo, K of C Chairperson, at 724-745-1445.
BAKED GOODS FOR FISH FRY NEEDED!
It is that time of the year for our Annual Lenten Fish Fry.
Baked goods are needed for dinners and take-outs every
Friday until March 18. We are asking parishioners to
