A Note From the Pastoral Coordinator…
Lent starts this coming Wednesday, February 22 on Ash
Wednesday. We have two services that day, 8am and 6pm.
Ash Wednesday is a holy day that signifies the beginning
of Lent. It marks the entry into a season of spiritual prepa-
ration for Holy Week, which culminates in Easter. Any
march toward the redeeming work of Christ must begin We would like to again THANK all of you that purchased a tick-

One of the many things we have planned for you during
this Lenten season is a mission with my brother, Fr. Fran-
cis Ryan McCarty on March 19—21st. Fr. Francis was just
recently ordained in September of 2022. He resides as a Going the Extra Mile
monk at St. Anselm Abbey on the grounds of St. Anselm
College in Manchester, NH. There he is a campus minister.
