Hope & Faith
Cancer Support Ministry
The Hope & Faith Cancer Support Ministry began out of the need in our
community to support those diagnosed with cancer. The group meets monthly at
AOL, typically on the last Wednesday of each month. The gatherings are held in
an informal setting and offer an opportunity for spiritual support through prayer,
open discussion about one’s own personal experiences and challenges, sharing of
resources available in our community, and discussion of ways to support one
another. This ministry allows persons touched by cancer to be with others with
similar cancer experiences in the River Parishes community. All interested in
learning more on how you can get involved please contact the AOL Parish Office
at 985-652-2615.
The Parish Office has the following Lenten Resources
available for purchase (in both English and Spanish):
�� The Lenten Edition of The Word Among Us -
“God So Loved the World” - $3 or 2 for $5

Second Sunday of Lent
“This is my chosen Son;
listen to him.”
Luke 9:28b-36
The story of the Transfiguration is a post
Resurrection account by early Christians of something
that indicated a change in mission by Jesus. He now
intended to go confront the Jewish authorities in
Jerusalem. Perhaps the reason Peter, James and John
did not comment on what happened on the mountain
was that they did not fully understand at the time. In
light of Easter Sunday, it made perfect sense.
Years ago I went to Medjugorje where people said
Mary continued to appear to three young people. For
millions of people, Medjugorje transformed their lives.
For people like me, I did not see the clear evidence the
visionaries saw and reported. When people asked me
of my opinion I told them that for me, the fervor of
those seeking the sacrament of Reconciliation indicated
that something special had happened there.
Since that time many people who went to
Medjugorje have returned to their normal lives
impressed by the experience but not truly changed.
Many others found it a nice time. A few others
underwent a conversion which remains to this day.
For Peter, James and John, even for Abraham, their
experiences with God would have quickly passed had
not other things followed. In retrospect we see this
unusual but not unordinary event as something that
comes and go. Only in light of what happens after does
it become important.
Fr. Walter Austin�

Ascension of Our Lord Catholic Church
Where do you live? I live in North Carolina. There I pay taxes,
own a home, and belong to a parish. North Carolina is in the
United States, so I also abide by federal laws, pay taxes, and
vote for candidates in all sorts of elections. I identify as an
American and try my best to meet certain expectations placed
on me by the government, state, and fellow Americans. I do
certain things because of my identity.
Paul wrote to the Philippians, "Our citizenship is in heaven."
Being a U.S. citizen living in North Carolina places certain
requirements on me. How many of us "citizens of heaven" take
seriously the expectations and requirements of that
citizenship? Sometimes we act like nothing is truly required of
us.
Stewardship as a way of life requires us to take seriously what
it means to be a citizen of heaven. We are called to follow the
laws of the land we live in on this earth, but we are called to
adhere to an even greater authority. Whether it be our call to
act with charity and love or to follow the precepts of the
Church, we must take seriously our status as citizen.
Unfortunately, many don't take seriously their citizenship on
this earth either. People have given their very lives so that we
may have the freedom to be citizens of our country and our
state. Of course, many people have died for the citizenship of
heaven as well. So it comes down to
the question, who are you and to
whom do you belong?
