God always leads us to where we need to be, not where we want to be.

It Makes A Year!At this time last year (mid-March), we were ordered by the State to close our churches and tell people to watch Mass on TV. We had to stop our religious education programs (youth and adult), cancel all meetings, meals and social gatherings. Slowly, we’ve been able to come back and, slowly, Mass attendance has increased. But there have been compromises: masks, social distancing, restrictions on singing, processions, liturgical ministers, physical contact, etc. Yet we still have many parishioners who find it unsafe to come to Mass. We’d like to reach out to them and find out how we could minister to them until they feel comfortable rejoining us at Mass. Could we send them the bulletin, bring them Holy Communion once a month, send them devotional material or call to check in on them once in a while? If you know of a fellow parishioner who could use this kind of outreach, please call the office and let us know. We’ll take it from there!

Lent Adult Programs
Lenten Adult Program—Les Misérables
Review of the Film on 2-11 in the Boutin Center 6 PM
Sessions Begin Thursday 2-18Last year, we had to cancel this program half-way through because of COVID-19 19. Because it was so popular, we have decided to repeat it this year. Hopefully we will get through all seven sessions. So join us on Thursdays from 6:00 PM until 8:30 PM at the Boutin Center to view the movie. Changes this year: we will have Mass at the Boutin Center at 6 PM, followed by soup, then the session. The class itself should start at about 6:45 PM and end around 8 PM. We will not have a session on Friday mornings. We have copies of the video you can borrow if you want to review it. There is no cost for this program. Materials will be provided. If you have any questions please call the office at 934-5013.

Comments on the temporary closing of St. Mary
UPDATE ON ST. MARY’S REPAIRS
We have hired a contractor to build a handicap ramp at the Boutin Center. He plans on starting in the next couple weeks, weather permitting. You may have to use the side entrance for a week or two (it will be posted). We have still not heard anything from the diocese concerning the church ceiling or structure repairs. We will let you know as soon as we find out anything. (02/01/2021)

Religious EducationFrom The Desk of Mrs. Dzujna, CRE: It’s now the 3rd week of Lent and Spring is on its way. I would like to continue sharing some thoughts from Make Room, A Child’s Guide to Lent and Easter by Laura Alary. “Making Space.” After Jesus came back from 40 days in the desert, he began preaching about the Kingdom of God. The people questioned him: Where is it? How do we get there? He shared the stories about the mustard seed and a pinch of yeast. And he told us that the Kingdom of God is inside of each of us, but it needs time and space to grow. How do we make space? We tell God we are sorry when we have done wrong – sweeping our hearts clean. We become kind to all people – opening our hearts wide. We allow God to help us when someone hurts us – not storying up angry thoughts. Sharing what clutters your life with more than you can use – making space for what really matters. Note: CCD will be back on Sunday March 7.
"Remember that Lent and Ash Wednesday are not just about putting away the bad things. It is more about creating good things and helping the poor and the needy, being kind to people, and much more." Jacob Winters -

SPIRITUAL COMMUNION
My Jesus.
I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament,
I love You above all things,
And I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally,
Come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from you. AMEN -
