A MESSAGE FROM FATHER RICH
It is hard to believe that the season of Lent begins on Wednesday.
Masses for Ash Wednesday are 6:00 am, 7:45 am, and 7:00 pm. As in the past there will be an additional Mass at 7:45 am on Saturdays with confessions after Mass and Stations of the Cross on Fridays at 7:00 pm.
The Adult Penance Service is scheduled for Monday, March 12th at 7:00 pm with additional priest available for confessions.
Next Sunday at the 10:00 am we will have the Rite of Enrollment for those in RCIA who will be presented to Bishop Rivituso at the Rite of Election at the Cathedral as they begin their final preparation to receive the sacraments at the Easter Vigil. Please pray for them.
This Friday there is a change in Mass schedule as the school is not in session. This is an opportunity for me to go visit a friend n the prison at Charleston, MO. Mass will be at 6:00 am.. Visiting times are limited and this allows me to spend some time with him.
Please pray that all of us may use this upcoming Lenten season as a opportunity to grow deeper in our relationship with the Lord.
God Bless,

OUT AND ABOUT
DEACON NEAL’S REFLECTION CORNER
This Wednesday is Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. It is also Valentine's Day. Believe it or not Ash Wednesday is more important than Valentine's Day. Fasting and abstinence are required of all practicing Catholics. We all come to make sacrifices in order to help us focus on the sacrifice that Christ made for us.
I'd like to encourage you to make this Lent your journey to a closer relationship with Christ. It takes time, effort and sacrifice. Jesus stepped into TIME and through his EFFORTS started the Church and SACRIFICED himself for us, so that we can experience what true love is.
TIME, EFFORT AND SACRIFICE. Can we do that for him?
God bless, Deacon Neal
