Dear friends, Each year, I witness thousands of faithful encountering Christ at Cedarbrake Catholic Retreat Center. Seeing so many people draw closer to Christ and seek to share His love with others inspires me to do the same — an unforeseen blessing of serving as director. When we welcome retreatants to our beautiful 75-acre campus, we rarely know what they desire from their experience. But God does, and our goal is to provide a space where they can open their hearts to receive the love of God in a greater and intentional way. Wheth-er they arrived alone or with a group, when they return to their families and parishes, they strengthen the body of Christ — which is the very mission of our diocese. I am so grateful for Encountering Christ. Through your generosi-ty, Cedarbrake will be able to provide more opportunities to meet its mission of “encountering Christ in word, in nature, in Eucharist, in silence.” Sincerely, Brian Egan Director Cedarbrake Catholic Retreat Center For information regarding events at Cedarbrake, please go to:

https://www.austindiocese.org/cedarbrake-calendar

Penance service There will be a penance service at St. Mary on Wednesday, March 20, at 7:00 pm. Everyone is invited to receive this gift of God's mercy. Confession is the best way to celebrate Lent. It helps us to renew our life and our relationship with God and with others.

Ashes to Easter Ashes to Easter is an annual Lenten mission project that affirms and encourages local mis-sionary groups and other mission activities of the Diocese of Austin. Ashes to Easter Lenten Boxes are available on the table. Please return it by Easter Sunday, April 21st.
