First Sunday of Lent
LENT: FORTY DAYS TO GET IT RIGHT!
Today’s Gospel passage from Mark contains a summary statement of the sayings of Jesus in the Gospels. “The Kingdom of God is at hand. Repent and believe in the Gospel.” Lent is about change—the
change that Jesus invites us to make precisely because the Kingdom of God is at hand. How do we
change? We repent. We believe in the Gospel. We live in such a way as to show God and ourselves how
much we believe in the message of Jesus. The changes we make in Lent are meant to be lasting ones in
our lives.
Your Sins Are Forgiven
It is an extraordinary experience so know that our sins are forgiven—that there is absolutely no space between us and God. Pope Francis is always encouraging people to go to Confession, to seek God’s forgiveness. To make it as convenient for you as possible, all the parishes of the Paterson Diocese will offer
individual confession on five Monday evenings of Lent (Feb. 23-Mar. 23), 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in
the Atrium Conference Room. We will also have our Lenten Parish Penance Service at 7:30 p.m. on
March 16.
Come on our Parish Pilgrimage/Vacation to Spain and Portugal
Our next parish pilgrimage/vacation will be this fall from October 14-23. We will have a special time visiting Fatima where Mary appeared. We will also be in Avila, Madrid, Lisbon, Santiago De Compostela,
and Toledo. Itinerary and information are in the parish office or simply email me at
[email protected].
Please Help—Feed and Clothe the Hungry
This week the food donated will be going to the Partnership for Social Services Family Center, Franlkin, NJ, one of our Catholic
Charities agencies. Here are the items most needed by the Food Banks: Cold Cereal, Oatmeal/Hot Cereal, Pancake Mix and Syrup, Brown/White Rice, Pasta and Pasta Products (side dishes), Macaroni & Cheese, Soups (canned, mixes, ramen noodle), Cookies and Crackers, Canned Meats, Fish and Fruit, Peanut Butter, Parmalat. Please consider purchasing low-sodium and low-sugar
