Saint Ann and Saint Brendan Collaborative Pastoral Planning and Disciples In Mission It’s hard to believe it but Lent is right around the corner! The forty days of Lent are such a wonderful opportunity to empty our lives of the excesses that distract us from noticing Christ’s nearness to us. It’s so important to remember that the sacrifices we undertake during this penitential season are meant to dispose us to a deeper fulfillment. We don’t fast to lose weight! We fast in order to experience more keenly our most basic hunger for God. Just as important as the question of what we will “give up” for Lent is the question of what we will “take up” to fill the space opened by our sacrifices. This Lent the parishes of St. Brendan and St. Ann will be launching a faith formation series to address a very important need in our collaborative community: adult faith development. Survey after survey indicates that the vast majority of Catholic adults do not understand the basic teachings of our Faith. On a more positive note, the same surveys indicate that Catholic adults have a desire to learn more about the teachings of the Church. To answer this need, each Friday during Lent one of our parishes will hold a brief faith formation event. Each event is designed to expose its participants to a different dimension of the Church’s public worship of God. At each event I will offer a brief reflection on some basic aspect of what the Catholic Church teaches and believes. Though geared toward adults, families are most welcome to attend. Hopefully by sacrificing one hour of your time each Friday during Lent, your hearts and minds will be filled with a new appreciation and understanding of the beautiful truths God has revealed to us for our salvation. Please consider joining us and inviting your friends to come along as well! Blessings, Father Tom The Light Is On For You! - Sacramental Confession 6:30—8:00 pm Wednesdays during Lent at all parishes in the Archdiocese of Boston.
