May God continue to bless her.
WE

topic of his talk will be “Why is Lent a Time to Remember Our Baptism?”
FR. STEF’S SUMMERFEST CONCERT is now available on CD. As an accomplished musician who combines his passions for faith and music, Fr. Stef's performance is a spiritual and inspirational musical experience. The concert CD can be picked up at the parish office. There is no charge for the CD's, but if you would like to make a donation, you may do so when you pick up the CD.
INSPIRATIONAL HOMILIES ON CD Listen to God's message as you drive or share his message with a shut-in or friend. Fr. Stef's January & February homilies are now available on CD and can be picked up in the back of church or in the parish office. Look for the Lenten series part 1 in a few weeks.

LENTEN PRO-LIFE PRAYER
Father of all mercy, we thank you for this season of grace and light. We know that sin has blinded us. Draw us ever closer to you, in prayer and penance. Give all your people a clearer understanding of the profound dignity of every human life, including the children in the womb. As we prepare to celebrate the death and Resurrection of Christ, strengthen our joy in the fact that life has already conquered death. As we prepare to renew the promises of our own baptism this Easter, grant that we may live more faithfully as the children of God and the People of Life. We pray through Christ our Lord. Amen
