behind. Today we hear about a very old man who de-
cides to answer God’s call. Abram experiences a tre-
mendous amount of change when he leaves every-
thing behind, risking it all for God’s promise. Jesus
changes, is transfigured, right before the eyes of his
disciples. The Lenten scriptures issue the call for us
Please pray for the sick: to change, to be transfigured, so that we, too, will
soon share in the glory of God. What is it that the
Lord is asking us to leave behind? Are we willing to

Art and Environment
O God we praise you for the small, diminished things; for the health at the edge of
our sicknesses, for the moment's quiet in the hours of storm, for the few that held
when the many broke and ran, for an answer of love in a mob of hate. We praise you
for the minor key, the oblique kindness, the hidden joy. May Jesus Christ understand
us in whose name we pray. Amen.
Some of you may be interested in the ways in which we have shaped art and environ-
ment for Lent:
Lent is a season "for the minor key." Lenten time is about reflection and contemplation,
a time to examine ourselves--some even would say, a depressing time. The journey we
are called to make in Lent is to confront our own mortality, our own frailty and broken-
ness, our deep need for redemption and resurrection.
So in Lent we journey to the cross. Along the way, our worship space reminds us of the
harshness of life. There are no flowers, no celebratory hangings, little light. The sanctu-
ary is stark, simple, spare. It reflects "the minor key," the diminished things that speak of
death and dying.
Together with the liturgy, music, and spoken words, the environment of our worship
space serves as another lens--a way for us to see--and a way for Lent to "speak" its
meaning to us.

STRATEGIC PLAN
2018 - 2023
SUMMARY OF DIOCESAN STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS
Catholic Education and School Sustainability:
Goal - The Diocese will educate and form the Catholic identity of the youth of the Diocese through stable, aca-
demically excellent and faith-filled Catholic Schools.
Immediate Goals (1-24 months)
Implement new Catholic identity evangelization and faith formation initiatives in the schools.
Reorganize the Department of Catholic Schools; develop new Mission, Vision and Value statements; and hire key

Initiate a comprehensive targeted marketing campaign to increase enrollment through retaining existing stu-
dents and recruiting new students. Highlight the values of a Catholic education.
Establish, set and enforce school staffing standards and policies and procedures for tuition management and in-
creases. Design and implement regional models for tuition assistance programs (starting with the most under-
enrolled schools) to fill empty seats.
Make necessary improvements to the Marian Alliance model.
Provide leadership training at all levels and standardize all “back office” systems.
Perform a comprehensive schools’ safety evaluation and take corrective action as needed.
Standardize job descriptions and salary standards for all staff and create measurable performance metrics; offer
opportunities for professional development.
Seek to increase donations and contributions to support the elementary schools.
Determine methods of ensuring equal access for low-income students and equality of academic resources across
schools.
Develop approaches to strengthen collaboration and support among the principals and schools.
Evaluate and strengthen, as needed, all Consultative Schools Boards and ensure that every school has a function-
ing school board.
Develop a clear description of responsibilities for pastors with a parish school.

CAMBIO
Cuaresma es cambio y cambiar no es fácil. Pa-
ra poder cambiar debemos dejar algo atrás. Hoy
escuchamos acerca de un hombre muy viejo que
decide responder al llamado de Dios. Abram atra-
viesa por una tremenda cantidad de cambios cuan-
do todo lo deja y lo arriesga por la promesa de
Dios. Jesús cambia, se transfigura, justo delante de
los ojos de sus discípulos. Las escrituras en Cua-
resma nos llaman a cambiar, a ser transfigurados,
para que también nosotros pronto participemos en
la gloria de Dios. ¿Qué nos pide Dios dejar atrás?
¿Estamos dispuestos a arriesgarlo todo por la pro-
mesa que Dios hace? Estas son las preguntas cen-
trales en el camino de conversión de la Cuaresma.

Cristo Jesús . . . destruyó la muerte y ha hecho
brillar la luz de la vida y de la inmortalidad,
por medio del Evangelio.
— 2 Timoteo 1:10b
SANTA FRANCISCA ROMANA (1384-1440)
9 de marzo
Francisca nació en una familia cristiana donde aprendió a amar a Dios y a los pobres. Contrajo nup-
cias muy joven, pero jamás abandonó su deseo de servir a los pobres, labor pastoral que fue apoyada por
Lorenzo, su esposo. Además de ser ejemplar esposa y madre, oraba constantemente y salía del palacio
vestida con ropas humildes para ir a visitar a los enfermos y llevar alimento a los pobres. Su amor por
los marginados era tan grande que cuando azotaron inundaciones y pestes no dudó en abrir su palacio
para que se convirtiera en hospital y refugio de damnificados, cuidando personalmente de ellos y ofre-
ciéndoles alimento. Este amor por los pobres lo compartió con una de sus cuñadas, con quien no sólo
practicó la caridad sino compartió el sueño de ser religiosa. Siendo esposa y madre fundó la comunidad
de las Oblatas de María, cuyo carisma era vivir en el hogar sirviendo a los pobres. Se unió a esta comu-
nidad religiosa una vez que enviudó y sus hijos crecieron. Para los ciudadanos de Roma fue un vivo
ejemplo de Cristo.
