Bulletin – March 14, 2010

 

 

The Prodigal Son – The story of the Prodigal Son helps us refocus on the meaning of Lent.  This a time to change our ways, to turn back to God our Father, and to appreciate and share the gifts we have received.  As we begin the second half of our journey with Catholic Relief Services’ Operation Rice Bowl, we remember that we are called to be stewards of what God has given us, and we connect our prayers and fasting with our giving.  Please remember to start bringing in your Rice Bowls.
