In
just a few days, we will begin Lent for 2017. Before it begins I would like to offer some ways to walk
through this season.
This year I would like to focus a
theme for all of us: “Love our neighbor”.
And here are four big events.
#1: We will continue to love our neighbor through the Operation
Rice Bowl. You have given amazing
gifts to serve the hungry both in our community and around the world and we
will grow even more! Which points
to…
#2: …a cool fact that the season of Lent begins on Wednesday,
March 1st. This is the
same day that is a powerful reminder to feed the hungry in the month of
March. Please check out the
information for both our parishes and in our communities to offer food to our
neighbors.
#3: Through the Diocese of Duluth, each of our parishes take
turns to support a co-op missionary.
We will welcome a new priest for our parishes during March 18th-19th. He will share his mission and request
through his appeal for our support.
#4: Another priest—Fr. Michael Garry (pastor in
Eveleth/Gilbert)—will visit us for the beginning of our 40 hours of Eucharistic
adoration (March 31st-April 2nd). He will offer a talk about both the
Eucharist and the poor and we will begin our weekend of praise, praying and
confessing. We will have more
information for this wonderful weekend.
As
we begin Lent, let us grow to love our neighbor!
God
bless!
