We have 2 special saints on the calendar this week; St. Patrick on Monday, and St. Joseph, spouse of the Blessed Virgin on Wednesday. I hope these saints are celebrated in such a way that they will deepen your relationship with Christ!
Next Saturday, the 22nd, I will be hearing First Confessions for our 2nd graders. This is in preparation for them this Spring to receive their First Holy Communion. Please keep our children in your prayers—and their moms and dads, that the importance of our faith in God and in Jesus will be strengthened. It is so good to have them coming to church for these 2 sacraments this year. May this be a good foundation for them as they grow in wisdom of having God in their life.
Next weekend, the 23rd, I will be leaving after the 8:00 mass on Sunday for my annual retreat to St. Meinrad in southern Indiana. You may put a prayer name or intention to be prayed for in my Prayer Bag located in the narthex.
Peace…….Fr. Jeff
