News and Announcements Fr. Jay’s Corner Dear brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ, We enter into our first week of the holy Lenten season. The primary purpose of Lent is to prepare us for the celebration of Jesus’ death and Resurrection. The Church tries to achieve this goal, leading her children to metanoia or true “repentance” by the reordering of their priorities and the changing of their values, ideals and ambitions, through fasting, prayer and selfcontrol. Since by Baptism we share the death and Resurrection of Jesus, today’s readings refer to Baptism directly or indirectly. Let us have a sincere preparation and fruitful celebration. Saturday choir: Marlaine Beasley has generously come forward to lead the Saturday choir, accompanying with piano and organ. Let us welcome her and wish her all the best. Sincere thanks to Iva Burkett for having led hymns for our Saturday Masses. May God bless you all —Father Jayaraj Lent Begins: Devotion to the Stations of the Cross will begin Friday, February 16th at 5:30 PM, followed by Holy Mass. This devotion will be observed each Friday during Lent. Lenten Resources: Several resources for the Lenten season are available at the back of the church for your use: 1. The Little Black Book which contains daily reflections on the Passion according to St. Mark. 2. The Word Among Us: The Promise of Lent which contains the complete Catholic Mass and daily meditations on the season. 3. The Rice Bowl. This is a foldable cardboard box in which you place money saved during Lent through your fasting and the things you give up for Lent. At the end of Lent, you return the box with the money to the church. The money contained is given to Catholic Relief Services which uses it for development projects in poor nations and hunger relief in the local diocese (75% and 24% respectively). Plastic Easter Eggs: If anyone has plastic Easter eggs, please bring them to Boland Hall. We are beginning now to be sure we have enough available for our upcoming annual Easter Egg Hunt for our children. Please contact Mary Powers if you have any questions. Annual Easter Egg Hunt: Our Easter Egg Hunt this year will take place on Palm Sunday, March 25th following Mass. Chrism Mass: The Chrism Mass will be celebrated at the Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception in Mobile on Tuesday, March 27th at 11:00 AM. Precious Oils and Chrism will be available for each parish following the Mass. Flowers for Holy Thursday and Easter: Our parish is in need of a volunteer/ volunteers to help arrange the flowers for these occasions. Please let Fr. Jay know if you’d like to help out.
