4th Sunday of Lent

Dear Parishioners,

We are at the mid point of our Lenten journey. As we enter the Fourth Week of Lent, today is traditionally know as Laetare Sunday. Laetare is a Latin word meaning “rejoice.” Today’s Gospel describes the reason for our joy. God’s great love for us has been revealed in Jesus. Through His Passion, Death, and Resurrection, Christ has reconciled us with God and one another. The Gospel today, Luke 15: 1-3,11-32, is one of the most familiar Gospel passages in our faith tradition. It is commonly referred to as the Gospel of the Prodigal Son. It is great comfort to know that, even when we feel lost in sin, God is waiting to embrace us and forgive us when we return with repentant hearts.

The Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession) will be heard this Wednesday, March 30 th from 5:00 P.M.-6:30 P.M.

The second collection next weekend will be for the Building Maintenance Fund.

Have a Blessed Lenten week!
