2nd Sunday of Lent Today’s gospel presents the familiar story of the

transfiguration. Peter, James and John were awe struck

by the appearance of Jesus and by the words that the

voice of God spoke: “This is my beloved Son, with

whom I am well pleased; listen to Him." Listen to Him.

This message is for us. Pray for the grace to be open to

God’s word, to be transfigured into a courageous

messenger of God’s love.

Featuring

Dominique Dodge,

Celtic Harper

St. Mary Church

Sunday, March 29 at 7:30pm

Dominique Dodge is a harper and singer who grew up in

the White Mountains and now divides her time between

New Hampshire and Cape Breton. Her new album, “Cànan

nan Teud” (The Language of the Strings) features

archivally-sourced Gaelic songs from Cape Breton and

explores the relationship between Puirt-a-Beul (mouth

music) and traditional dance music. A deep love of Gaelic

music and culture brings this music to life through a

combination of harp, sing and story for all who enjoy

traditional music. Please join us for this very special

inspiring evening.

Tickets are available for advance purchase through

Online Giving ($13), may be purchased by check at the

Parish Office (check payable to St. Mary Church with

Dominique Dodge in the memo line) or may be purchased

at the door on the night of the event.

Followed by Stations of the Cross at 5pm

Chaplet of Divine Mercy at 3pm

Join us at He Chose the Nails, a five-

session Lenten video Bible Study. In this

study we examine the gifts that Christ

gave at his crucifixion. These include not

only the gift of the cross, but also the gift

of the thorns, the nails and the empty

tomb. The cross is rich with God’s gifts

of grace, and as we unwrap them, we will

hear him whisper, “I did it just for you.”

It is time to begin rehearsals

for the Festival Easter

Children’s Choir. Children

ages 8-13 are invited to join.

Rehearsals will be held on the following Sunday

evenings from 6:00-6:55pm in the Church: March 8, 15,

29 and April 5. The children will sing at the 10am

Mass on Easter Sunday, April 12. We hope many young

people will join the choir to triumphantly proclaim

through song Christ’s glorious resurrection. For more

information please contact Jane O’Keefe at

jokeefe@stmaryswinchester.org or leave a message at

the Parish Office.

Easter Choir

If you’ve considered joining the 10am choir but were

your voice for the Liturgies of the Sacred Triduum.

There will be four rehearsals taking place on the

following Sunday evenings from 7-9pm: March 8, 15,

29 and April 5. The Liturgies of Holy Week are nothing

new to us. Take the opportunity to experience these

ancient rituals from a fresh perspective by singing about

Christ’s triumphant procession into Jerusalem on Palm

Sunday, the Lord’s Supper on Holy Thursday, the

Crucifixion on Good Friday that is overcome by the light

of Christ and His victory over death at the Easter Vigil.

The choir is a 30 member SATB group whose members

range in age from teens through 80-something. You do

not need to be able to sight-read to become a member.

All are welcome to join this wonderful group of singers.

Today’s Reflection

During this penitential season, we make a conscious effort to avoid sin and be faithful to the Gospel. In last Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus journeyed into the desert and was tempted by the devil. Today Jesus climbs a high mountain on which he is transfigured in front of His closest disciples. Whether isolated in the wilderness or accompanied by friends on a mountaintop, Jesus remains faithful to the will of God. May He be a model for us.
