Dear Parishioners,
Peter generally gets a bad rap in the Gospel accounts, especially in the season of Lent. No such things will ever happen to you... get behind me Satan. I will die with you… you will deny me three times. No one will arrest you… sheathe your sword!
Dear Parishioners,
I find the temptation in the desert so interesting and insightful. It is a great guide for the spiritual life.
Dear Parishioners,
Lent begins this Wednesday, February 22. On Ash Wednesday we will have Masses at 6:25am, 8:30am, Noon, and 7pm. There will also be a prayer service with ashes distributed at 4pm (UC) and 4:15pm (HFC). Fridays in Lent we will have Stations of the Cross at 7pm. Mondays, beginning February 27th, we will have our Monday Evening of Prayer starting at 6pm with a talk on prayer at 7pm. I hope Lent is a fruitful and prayerful season for you.
