Pathway of Discipleship

Dear brothers and sisters,
Greetings and peace to all of you. The season of Lent is upon us in just another week and half. It is a time for us as a church to reflect on the mercy of God through his Son, Jesus. It is a time for us to turn away from sin in our life and turn towards the embrace of His forgiveness to us. Lent is a calling to the whole church to deeper conversion to Christ as his follower.
Ash Wednesday begins this season. We have two masses on Wednesday, February 17. They are at 8:15 am. and 6:30pm. Ashes will be distributed by marking the forehead with a sign of the cross, using a cotton cue tip. No words will be spoken.
In addition to the two masses, we are offering a Service of the Word and Distribution of Ashes. This is not a mass. It will be the reading of the Scriptures for this day, a brief homily and distribution of Ashes. The service concludes with prayer of the faithful and blessing. It will be offered on Wednesday February 17 at 12pm. in the hall. Please see sign up genius if you are interested in this service. The link for this service is: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/12noonAshWednesday
It is designed particularly for those who are on a work schedule or very limited time. The service will be about ½ hour.
In the season of Lent, after the Tuesday morning masses at 8:15am beginning February 23, and after the Wednesday evening masses at 6:30pm beginning February 24, I will be offering a ½ hr. bible study in the hall. Please sign up for the mass that morning or evening of that week through sign up genius to be able to attend the bible study. This will be after all the Tuesday and Wednesday masses of Lent. Topic TBA.
I would like to remember with you before the Lord the following members of our faith community who have passed away recently:
Dr. John Jordan
Irene Gion
Theresa Schriefer

We remember with thanksgiving our brother and sisters in their good deeds of blessing to our faith community of St. Patrick’s church and to the mercy of the Lord. Also, we pray for a release of consolation to their families in the days and months ahead.
Finally, we welcome Archbishop Lori to our parish community this weekend. He will be celebrating the 10:30am. Mass in the hall.
Keep in mind: “And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns. Phil. 1:6
Yours in Christ,
