2nd Sunday of Lent

Dear Parishioners;

Each year on the Second Sunday of Lent, the Gospel is about the Transfiguration of Jesus. Today, we listen to Saint Matthew’s version. Jesus climbs a high mountain on which He is transfigured in front of His closest disciples. When Peter witnesses the Transfiguration of Jesus, and the appearances of Moses and Elijah, his first instinct is to “freeze the moment,” by providing tents for Jesus, Moses, and Elijah. However, that encounter, like any encounter with God’s majesty and providence, is not meant to be frozen or hidden in a tent. It is meant to move us forward in, and to act upon, our faith.

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

Please mark your calendars for a very special Stations of the Cross for Married and engaged couples on Friday, March 20 th at 6:00 P.M. at St. Peter Church. All married and engaged couples are invited and encouraged to attend this special Stations of the Cross.

The Lenten Mission will be on March 30, 31, and April 1 at 7:00 P.M. each evening. The theme this year is ”We are Called to be Missionary Disciples for Jesus Christ.” Once again, Father Chris Krymski, O.S.M., Director of the National Shrine of Saint Peregrine will grace us with his presence to lead the mission.

Have a Blessed Lenten Week!
