An opportunity to remember: The Sacrament of Penance: Who are you for real? The Gospels are filled with stories of people who met Jesus and were healed from the distortion of body, mind and spirit. Canton, OH Zacchaeus was a little man, not only in stature but in self esteem. His encounter with Jesus enabled him to grow into a just and generous person – he grows into something bigger than himself. The unnamed woman caught in adultery, was a mere object for many – her encounter with Jesus allowed her to see God’s love – transcending the imitations and substitutes for true affection and love – named as God’s Beloved. The Sacrament of Reconciliation is the event in which we come to meet Christ, within the community of the Church. The Church, the Body of Christ is the mirror in which we see our true reflection – our truest self and image of whom we are called to be – our best selves. We can name our sins, those distortions of our lives, and seek the healing and wholeness that God offers. Lent is a Season of Grace that provides the opportunity to turn from the false pretensions, distortions and illusions of our society and become Servants of Christ. The Sacrament of Reconciliation is then more than a pious or religious practice; it is a time of change a time of transformation – in which we encounter God’s unconditional love and meet the Risen Christ. As you walk out of the confessional, my prayer is that you will be empowered by the Spirit to take your place within the Community – the Risen Body of Christ. The offer is presented to us – but it is up to us to accept it. LGaetano Come join us and meet someone new! We have a donut for you and some coffee too!

From Water into Wine A Young Adult Ministry By Miguel Chavez Are you looking for an opportunity to meet other young adults and enrich your faith? Do you enjoy good fellowship, meaningful discussion, and fine food and drink? Consider joining us for the From Water into Wine gatherings! What is it? From Water into Wine is a young adult faith sharing group that uses the process of wine making and tasting to analogously discern God’s call in life. Each week of the program the group will gather in prayer to discuss relevant themes, meticulously taste and describe wine with food pairings, refine an appreciation for wine, and support each other in fellowship. In the second chapter of John’s gospel we learn of Jesus transforming water into wine at the wedding feast at Cana. He took what was ordinary and made it extraordinary. In a similar way, young adults are challenged by God’s transformative grace to become like fine wine to serve in the world and imitate Christ in an extraordinary way. Gatherings will last 1hour – 1 ½ hours If you like wine, want to learn more about various wines and share in wonderful fellowship consider joining us! Water into Wine meetings will be in the Gathering Room on Tuesday Nights at 7:00 pm.
