WORKS OF MERCY IN ACTION
This year, Pope Francis has opened the Holy Year of Mercy and has asked all
Catholics to be witnesses to Mercy. God is a loving and forgiving Father who loves

God’s mercy, the Holy Father has asked all Catholics to show our love for God and
to our neighbor, by performing the Works of Mercy.
Our parish family of St. Christopher/St. Sylvia will perform the Works of Mercy together
so that we can be a witness to God’s love in the world. Please take a moment to review the
program that has been arranged for the weeks of Lent. Please prayerfully consider how you can
be a witness to God’s mercy and love.

seek Mary’s intercession on this day for themselves or for
loved ones who are ill.

Please join us in asking Our Lady’s intercession for our
parishioners and loved ones in a special way on this day.
Tues., Feb. 2nd, Candlemas, is the

are blessed on this day.
