Catholic Family of Parishes

Jesus lives within us. We can change the world!

Jésus vit en nous. Nous pouvons changer le monde!

WEEKLY MASS SCHEDULE

Consider LOVE…For all of us, it is

so easy to choose our friends; those who

share similar values and interests. For

many, family is family; they are the

people that we are stuck with! The

largest number of people in the world we avoid; those

whom we choose to exclude because of religious belief,

nationality or social status; those whom we judge to not

live according to our standards; and the list of those we

avoid can be endless…

Look to Jesus! He reaches out to everyone as we hear in

the Gospel. He asks the Samaritan woman for a drink;

talks to her about her life; does not judge her; actually

offers her the gift of eternal life when he asks her for a

drink. He wants her to respond to him in a spirit of love.

Jesus is seeking our love as well. The RCIA scrutiny of

“Living Water” teaches us that Jesus yearns for OUR love.

He wants us to desire Him who offers us the gift of

eternity by giving Him our love! Prayer allows us to fill

our heart with Him and to gain the insight to know what

needs to be expelled from within so that we may be

strengthened to live fully the faith that we profess.

Considérez l'AMOUR… Pour nous tous, il est si

facile de choisir nos amis; ceux

qui partagent des valeurs et des

intérêts similaires. Pour

beaucoup, la famille est la famille;

ce sont les gens avec qui nous sommes coincés! Le plus

grand nombre de personnes au monde que nous évitons;

ceux que nous choisissons d'exclure en raison de

croyances religieuses, de nationalité ou de statut social;

ceux que nous jugeons ne pas vivre selon nos normes; et

la liste de ceux que nous évitons peut être interminable…

Regardez vers Jésus! Il tend la main à tout le monde

comme nous l'entendons dans l'Évangile. Il demande à la

Samaritaine un verre; lui parle de sa vie; ne la juge pas;

lui offre en fait le cadeau de la vie éternelle quand Il lui

demande à boire. Il veut qu'elle Lui réponde dans un

esprit d'amour.

Jésus cherche également notre amour. L'examen

minutieux de «l'eau vive» par le RCIA nous enseigne que

Jésus aspire à NOTRE amour. Il veut que nous désirions

celui qui nous offre le don de l'éternité en Lui donnant

notre amour! La prière nous permet de remplir notre cœur

de Lui et d'acquérir la perspicacité de savoir ce qui doit

être expulsé de l'intérieur afin que nous puissions être

renforcés pour vivre pleinement la foi que nous

professons.

Feast of St. Joseph: St. Joseph was

called by God to an extraordinary life. He

was, presumably, an ordinary man before

we meet him in the Gospels, albeit a man

of deep faith and trust in God. Joseph tried

to follow his young wife, but God had him

in sight and sent an angel to make known

His plan even if it was not fully understood

to Joseph at the time. Joseph obeyed God throughout his

life. He championed the Holy Family through the early

years, but had passed to eternal life before Jesus’ public

life began.

His abiding and eternal relationship with his beloved

Spouse and his foster Child make Joseph a powerful

intercessor for the whole Church. He rightly is invoked

for the blessing of a happy death, passing to eternal life,

as he did, in the love of Jesus and Mary.

March Break: We wish our students and their

families, as well as leadership and staff of our schools a

restful and pleasant March break.

RCIA - 2nd Scrutiny: As the RCIA Elect move toward their reception into the Catholic faith at the Easter Vigil - they and each of us, are called to scrutinize our hearts. The 2nd Scrutiny will be celebrated at the 11:15am Mass next Sunday at St. Joseph. Thank you: We would like to thank Fran Balogh of St.

Joseph’s for her many years of service as head of

the Funeral Luncheon Committee. We are

sincerely grateful for all your time, hard work

and dedication you have given over the years.

Reverse Lent Collection: Remember that you are a

sign of God’s love to those who carry their cross of

suffering and pain. Please participate in our Reverse

Lent collection which benefits our local SSVP. There

will be Ushers at each exit of the church after Mass with

a basket of suggested items for donation. Take a tag and

return your purchased item when you come back for

Mass the next weekend.

Activité pendant le Carême: N'oubliez pas que vous êtes

un signe de l'amour de Dieu pour ceux qui portent leur

croix de souffrance et de douleur. Veuillez participer à

notre collection de Carême inversée au profit de notre

SSVP locale. Il y aura des placiers à chaque sortie de

l'église après la Messe avec un panier d'articles suggérés

à offrir. Prenez une étiquette et retournez votre article

acheté lorsque vous revenez pour la Messe le week-end

prochain.

Soup and Stations: Join us this Friday at St. Paul’s

for a meal of meatless soup and buns, and then praying the Stations of the Cross. This week the CWL will be providing the soup and leading us in the stations. Soup is served at 6:00pm and stations will begin at 7:00pm.

1st Communion: A mandatory class for all NON

FEEDER SCHOOL STUDENTS (This includes children

attending Holy Cross, and public schools) will be held on
