Listening Session at SCL April 20 - In preparation for
the Archdiocesan Synod we are seeking input from all our
Catholics on what ways we can improve our parish and
our diocese in the years ahead. The listening session will
not be a forum to complain about Church teaching or
about the parish. They are for identifying proposals for
growth and fidelity to the Church. They are for
identifying areas of vitality in the parish and the diocese
and areas that could be improved. There are five areas to
be considered: Worship; Education; Community; Service
and Administration/Stewardship. Comments from the
listening session will be collected and sent to the
archdiocese for consideration at the Archdiocesan Synod
to take place in 2014. We are planning to have our
listening session on Saturday, April 20 from 11 am to 1
pm in the Claridge Room. Pizza will be provided at 1 pm
and a freewill offering accepted. Please plan to be with us
that morning, April 20 from 11 am to 1 pm.
Our annual archdiocesan Lenten invitation to all
Catholics to experience our Lord’s mercy and
compassion in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. This is
a wonderful opportunity to renew our baptismal
covenant, whereby we promise to “turn away fro sin
and be faithful to the Gospel.” Confessions will be held
every Wednesday in parishes throughout the
archdiocese.

If I had to advise parents, I should tell them to take great
care about the people with whom their children associate
. . . Much harm may result from bad company, and we
are inclined by nature to follow what is worse than what
is better.
