1st Sunday of Lent

Dear Parishioners,

Lent is a season when we focus on the real struggles that accompany the living of the Christian life. Today’s Gospel give us an indication of the kinds of struggles we can anticipate. Saying “yes” to God and “no” to evil is sometimes not the easiest thing to do. During times of struggle and conflict, we turn to God, trusting that He will accompany us during our moment of need. Our faith in God enables us to face these times of stress, to look to the Lord for strength to handle trauma, to resist temptation, and to hope in eternal life. As we begin this holy season of Lent, we enter the desert with Jesus to confront the Evil One and resist false and empty promises.

The second collection this weekend is for the Building Maintenance Fund. I ask for your continued support of this collection.

The Msgr. Eyraud Knights of Columbus Council 2436 will have their monthly Dinner on Sunday, March 13th . Pre-orders are highly recommended to guarantee you a deliciously cooked meal. Please see the flyer in today’s bulletin.

Have a Blessed Week!
