IN OUR PARISH

OUR DEEPEST SYMPATHY is extended to the family and friends of Ralph Hamberg, whose funeral was held here last weekend. Please remember Ralph and his family in your prayers.

ARE YOU STRESSED? The Health Ministry will screen blood pressure in the usher's room after all masses. Look for the brochures at the side entrances to church for information on stress.

CATHOLICS IN ACTION St. Catherine Parish Council is forming a “Catholics in Action” group which will be similar to our former Social Concerns group. If you think you would be interested in joining this ministry, there will be an informational meeting held on Monday, March 7^th at 7:00 p.m. in the meeting room. Join us to see how we can put our faith into action in our community!

The St. Catherine Men's Group Our next meeting is this Monday, March 7^th at 8:00 pm in McCrystal Hall. Our meetings are open to all men of the parish age 21 or older. Come for some great company, for refreshments and snacks, and to help us plan for our March Madness pool (thanks, Ken Woltermann!), the next Cornhole/Euchre/Sports-on-the-Big-Screen event, and future speakers. Our special guest will be Fr. Bob Rottgers, who will tell us about the new Life Teen Youth Group for high school students.

BURNING OF THE PALMS In preparation for Ash Wednesday, we will be holding the Burning of the Palms on Tuesday, March 8th, at 6:45 p.m. in front of church. In order to do this, the normal Tuesday evening schedule will have some slight changes. Confessions will be from 5:30 – 6:15 and Benediction will be at 6:30 p.m. The rosary will stay at 7:00 p.m., following the burning. Everyone is encouraged to attend!

LENT BEGINS THIS COMING WEDNESDAY Ash Wednesday, March 9^th, marks the beginning of the Lenten Season. Mass will be held at 8:00 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. Also, during Lent, Stations of the Cross will be held every Friday evening at 7:00 p.m.

LITTLE BLACK BOOKS Booklets of daily Lenten devotions are available in the back of church. Inside each book is a bookmark listing all of our Lenten events. Please be sure to pick one up as you are leaving.

ALL DAY EXPOSITION Beginning the first Tuesday in Lent, March 15^th, and continuing through the Lenten season, Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament will begin immediately following 8:00 a.m. mass and end with Benediction at 6:45 p.m. If you would like to sign up for a time, there will be a sign up sheet at the Rossford entrance.

PARISH TRAINING FOR EXTRAORDINARY MINISTERS OF HOLY COMMUNION For those unable to attend the first parish training session last month, there will be one last parish training session held next Sunday, March 13^th immediately following 11:30 mass. All ministers will be commissioned at the masses next weekend, so it is imperative that you either attended the training last month or you attend this one. If you have any questions, please contact Kim Lampe at 441-9955.

SPRING IS COMING and with it, the Catholic Order of Foresters 2nd Annual Spring Arts & Craft Show!

Last year we were able to award 24 Scholarships! Over 50 crafters will be in the gym, library and meeting room. Come and help support St. Catherine Parish children by attending the craft show!

REMOVE THE CHAINS OF UNFORGIVENESS THIS LENT! Is there anyone in your life that you have not forgiven? In 1999 Rachel Muha witnessed a monumental collision of good and evil in which violent teens murdered her 18 year old son, a student at Franciscan University in Steubenville. The story of the Muha family is not one of hatred, revenge and death. It is one of love, forgiveness and life. Only the God of mercy helped Rachel to shine grace in the darkest place where it seemed impossible for a mother to forgive. Come hear Rachel’s supernatural story of forgiveness on Sunday, March 20^that 7pm , sponsored by St. Catherine’s Praise & Worship Series in conjunction with Northern Kentucky University ’s Newman Center . Doors open at 6pm . A free-will offering will be collected. Call 859-441-3438 for more information.

IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR THE UPCOMING CHANGE IN THE ROMAN MISSAL Each week there will be an article relating to the upcoming changes in the Roman Missal. (Some of them may be run more than once and they may not follow the Order of Mass.)

The Profession of Faith

“Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of our religion” (1 Timothy 3:16 ). In the Profession of Faith or Creed we respond to the Word of God proclaimed in the readings and explained in the homily. The Creed is a synthesis of what the Church believes and teaches, a glorious summary of the deeds and promises of God. When, on Sundays and solemnities, we sing or recite the Creed, we praise “the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God” (Romans 11:33) and, at the same time declare our

resolve to “guard what has been entrusted to us” (cf. 1 Timothy 6:20 ).

We stand during the Creed: the uprightness of our bodies depicts the uprightness of the faith. At the words, “by the Holy Spirit became incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and was made man,” all make a profound bow in adoration of so awesome a mystery. At the same words on Christmas and on March 25th, Solemnity of the Annunciation, we kneel in humility and wonder, acknowledging the love by which Christ Jesus “emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men” (Philippians 2:7).
