Pledge your gi to the CMAA
This is Commitment Weekend for the 2022 Catholic Ministries Annual Appeal (CMAA). Please prayerfully reflect
on how you can best support our annual appeal and help our parish reach its goal of $95,800.
This year’s CMAA theme is Devoted to the Works of the Lord. The many ministries we fund with our gi s serve
people across the Diocese of Joliet. Our parish alone could not provide the services we can when we work to-
gether, as a community of faith, to help the poor and vulnerable, form our children in the faith, strengthen vo-
ca ons, and do so much more.
Seventy percent of the amount we raise over our goal will be returned to our parish, for our needs. Please make
a commitment to the CMAA today by comple ng a pledge envelope available in the pews. Our parish is coun ng
on you for your support. Thank you for making the most generous pledge possible to this year’s CMAA.

“everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will
be saved.” We sometimes spend time in the desert PRAYER OF THE WEEK
as well. Not a literal desert most of the time, but a First Sunday of Lent
desert in which it seems difficult to perceive God’s Grant, almighty God,
presence, times when we face difficulty and are through the yearly observances of holy Lent,
tempted to leave God’s ways behind. On this First that we may grow in understanding
Sunday of Lent, Jesus shows us what to do in these of the riches hidden in Christ
moments: stand firm and trust in God. and by worthy conduct pursue their effects.

Rules for abstinence: Everyone 14 years of
age and over is bound to abstain from meat
on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday and all Fri-
days during Lent.
Rules for fasting: Everyone 18 years of age
and under 59 years of age is bound to fast on
Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.
On Ash Wednesday and Good Friday, only one
full meatless meal is allowed. Two other meatless meals, sufficient to main-
tain strength, may be taken according to each one’s needs, but together they
should not equal another full meal.
To disregard completely the law of fast and abstinence is seriously sinful.
Lent is the principal season of penance in the Christian year. All of the faith-
ful are strongly urged to develop and follow a program of voluntary self-
denial, serious prayer, and a performance of works of charity and mercy.
