February 19, 2023 - Sixth Sunday of Ordinary Time
February 19, 2023                                                                                             Page Four

 During the Lenten Season we will be having an evening Mass every Tuesday at 6:30 pm followed by
Confessions. (February 28th - March 28th). Stations of the Cross will be held every Friday at 1:30 pm and
6:30 pm beginning this Friday, February 24th.

The Sta ons of the Cross
                             One of the most powerful ways to enter into the Passion and death of Jesus is to pray the
                           pious devo on we call the Sta ons of the Cross. The custom of walking and praying the
                           Sta ons of the Cross came into usage in the fi eenth century. Pilgrims to the Holy Land
                           developed a custom of visi ng the places sanc fied by Christ’s early life, par cularly the path
                           he took on Good Friday from His trial at Pilate’s house to Golgotha, where He was crucified
                           and then on to the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea.
                             Praying the Sta ons of the Cross is a powerful way to contemplate and enter into the
mystery of Jesus’ gi of Himself to us. In praying the sta ons of the Cross, we come to experience the love Jesus has
for us as His faithful followers and for each one of us individually as we draw ourselves closer to Him through devel-
oping a deeper love and apprecia on for His gi of salva on for us all.
  You can walk that pilgrimage of Jesus’ final journey as He carried His cross to Golgotha, the place of His crucifixion
every Friday a ernoon at 1:30 pm and every Friday evening at 6:30 pm during Lent.

  Just a reminder that all Fridays during Lent are days of abs nence. FASTING
refers to only one full meal, with two small meals and no ea ng otherwise for the day.
ABSTINENCE refers to not ea ng meat at all throughout the day. All those who have reached
their 14th year are obliged to ABSTAIN. The Church directs the holy FAST to all un l their 60th
(Canon 1252).

  Children’s Lenten Reunion Tree is Back Once Again -                     The tree will be located in the back of the
church. As the price of prizes for the St. Benedict Reunion con nue to increase, we are asking for Lenten dona ons
of gi cards and cash. In the spirit of “almsgiving” please consider taking a cross from the tree, purchase the
appropriate gi card and return it to the Parish Office or drop it in the collec on basket. Please be certain that the
cross is a ached to the gi card. Gi cards range in amounts of $5.00 to $25.00 and are from stores where children’s
prizes can be purchased for the prize redemp on booth. As an added bonus, you can purchase gi cards through our
scrip program for parish credit. Please help give the children awesome quality prizes. Thank you for considering this
program!

 Just a reminder that we will not be mailing out Lenten folders for adults this year,
however children’s boxes will be mailed out. Adults will find an envelope in your offertory box for your
Lenten dona on. Remember that all dona ons collected through the Lenten envelopes will be suppor ng Deacon
Michael’s Foreign Missions as it was for Lent 2022. Thank you in advance for your support!

 Just a reminder that you can drop off your old palm from last year in the box located in
the ves bule. Thank you!
