Scripture Verse for the Week: A leper came to Jesus and kneeling down begged

him and said, "If you wish, you can make me clean."

Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand, touched

him, and said to him, "I do will it. Be made clean."

- Mk 1:40-41

This weekend February 11th & 12th we cele-

Some Questions

from the Parish

Survey

MASS TIMES: Area Parishes are encouraged to

offer a variety of Mass times for the convenience of

people. To make a change a number of people would

make a request to Pastoral Council members, Coun-

cil would than review other parish schedules and

how a change might impact parish programs, if the

request does not present significant problems a vote

would be held at Masses to determine the will of the

parishioners

List of Pastoral Council Members appears below

Maria Daull; Jeff Fry; Carla Grasso;

Charles Kraus; Julie Lobello; Amanda Mullins

Matthew Nicholas; Terri Noe; Ron Ralston

Karla Smith

PERPETUAL ADORATION: Both Sacred Heart

and St. Augustine have Perpetual Adoration. Other

parishes have Adoration on occasion. A list and con-

tact information will be placed on our website.

Those parishes that have Adoration struggle at times

to find volunteers so having a couple of parishes do-

ing this lessens the number of people needed. The

side door of the church by the Rectory is open each

day until 4:00pm so people can enter and spend quiet

time in prayer.

2018 Catholic Charities Annual Appeal This year’s appeal theme is: #YOUR MERCY: Trans-

forming Lives + Communities.

Lenten Rice Bowls

We are blessed in so many ways; let us make our self

sacrifice this Lent a blessing to others. This year the

funds from our Rice Bowls will be divided two ways-

one half to Catholic Relief Services to assist people of

the world suffering from life threatening poverty, war,

and disasters; and one half to our local SVDP.

I ask that each family take a Rice Bowl and decide how

each family member will by prayer and self sacrifice

touch the lives of our brothers and sisters who cry out to

God in their suffering. On Palm Sunday (March 29th),

there will be baskets on the steps of the sanctuary. When

you arrive for Mass, please present to Christ your offering

for those in need.

Lenten Reminders “Fast and Abstinence” Ash Wednesday, February 14th and Good Friday, March 30th are days of absti-nence from meat and also days of fast, that is limited to a single full meal. The law of absti-nence (No Meat) binds all Catholics 14 years and older. The law of fasting binds all Catho-lics from their 18th birthday until their 59th birthday. The other Fridays of the season of Lent are days of abstinence from meat.

The Twenty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time September 10, 2006 6th Sunday in ordinary Time: February 11, 2018

SHARE THE JOURNEY OF HOPE

Sharing the Journey of Hope with Thomas Awiapo –

A grumbling belly, cries of hunger, fights over a

small ration of food between starving siblings – vivid

memories that CRS’ Thomas Awiapo recounts as he

shares his story of survival as a child facing hunger

in West Africa. Thomas will be visiting Prince of

Peace on Saturday, 2/17, to share his personal story

and the stories of our neighbors who have benefited

from programs such as the Catholic Relief Services

Rice Bowl. The presentation will be from 3:30 to

4:30 PM.

Lent: Returning to the Way of God What does Lent mean to you? No meat on Fridays? Giv-

ing up a bad habit? Annual Confession?

These practices are good; but Lent is more than that. Lent

is a time that recalls Jesus’ 40 days of fasting in the de-

sert; a time of sacrifice and a time of encountering God.

Lent is also a time of spiritual renewal, to get to know the

Lord Jesus, and to learn what it means to be called Chris-

tian from a Roman Catholic perspective.

We will have 4 sessions on Lent, for men and women,

covering these topics: Fasting, Repentance, Temptation

and Prayer, and Sacrifice for Others.

The booklet we will be using is authored by Pope Bene-

dict XVI, entitled, “Lent: Easter Awaits Us-Returning to

the Way of God.” No charge for these booklets.

Sessions are at 7 P.M. Thursday evenings on March 1, 8,

15, and 22, for about 1 hour. Contact Jerry Lamecker

(330-714-6338 or jlamecker@frontier.com) for more in-

formation.

Please respond by Feb 22 by email or by phone if you

plan to attend these 4 sessions, (So that we can order

enough booklets).
