In the Book of Genesis, Noah endured the devastation which followed the 40-day great flood, a prefiguring of baptism. Afterward God established with Noah and all mankind a covenant: “This is the sign that I am giving for all ages to come, of the covenant between me and you and every living creature with you: I set my bow in the clouds to serve as a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. When I bring clouds over the earth, and the bow appears in the clouds, I will recall the covenant I have made between me and you and all living beings, so that the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all mortal beings.” In the fullness of time, God fulfilled that promise by a New Covenant of love when he sent his Son Jesus among us for the forgiveness of sins. After his 40-day trial and temptation in the desert (traditionally read on this first Sunday in Lent) Jesus did not succumb to the temptations of the devil but was strengthened to face the trials that lay ahead as he completed the works of redemption. Jesus’ first spoken words in Mark’s gospel reveal God’s plan for all mankind: “This is the time of fulfillment. The kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.” The words of “the gospel of God” proclaimed at every Mass are meant to move us to action: to be charitable, to be compassionate, and to be loving toward all. Reach out to your neighbor with hands of charity….. Last week the parish ordered a piece of HVAC equipment for the school with a price tag of $142,000. Delivery is expected in April. This equipment is part of the solution to the mold problem that occurred last September. Please continue making special donations each month to the “Mold Remediation Fund”. The Finance Council is grateful to those parishioners who donate approximately $8,000.00 to the fund each month. We encourage all families to make donations to this appeal. You may donate online at Faith Direct or thr ough the envelope….. Don’t forget the Fish Fry this coming Friday! Come and enjoy the fish and fixin’s, and the opportunity to socialize with fellow parishioners and friends in the cafeteria. The Fish Fry at Queen is the place to be! Monsignor Joseph Simon POPE’S LENTEN MESSAGE AVAILABLE AT PARISH WEBSITE 2015 BLACK AND INDIAN MISSION COLLECTION Today, our parish will take up the 131st annual National Black and Indian Mission Collection.

Name____________________________________ Phone____________________________________ Time_____________________________________ (Adoration: Tuesday, 8:30 a.m. to Wednesday 6:00 a.m.) February 22, 2015 1st Sunday of Lent 1st Sunday of Lent “After John had been arrested, Jesus came to Galilee proclaiming the gospel of God…” Mark 1:14 Do you ever think about how difficult it must have been for Jesus to come into Galilee, knowing that John had just been arrested for teaching the same message that Jesus was proclaiming. It must have taken great love and trust for Jesus to do what the Father had sent Him here on earth to do. In the same way, following a life of stewardship takes great love and trust from us. We must be willing to surrender completely to God, trusting that God will always give us all that we need to fulfill His plan for us.

Simon and the Finance Council EMERGENCY APPEAL FOR REMEDIATION COVERAGE AND HVAC SYSTEMS IN SCHOOL AND LIMBACH HALL Queen of All Saints Parish is asking all parishioners and friends of the parish for contributions to cover the cost of remediating the school and church hall last summer, and to cover the cost of repairs to or replacement of the HVAC systems in the school and Limbach Hall. The Finance Council is asking each donor to contribute an extra donation in addition to their ordinary weekly or monthly offering for these expenses. A special “Mold Remediation Appeal” envelope is contained in the monthly envelope packet. Donations may also be made through Faith Direct (enroll at the parish office or online at Faith Direct; the QAS parish code is MO86). The parish expended $465,000 for remediation repairs in the school and the church hall during the ordeal. A new boiler for Limbach Hall was installed just this week in an unrelated HVAC event at a cost of approximately $60,000. And finally, the repair of HVAC system in the school is currently under discussion by members of the Capital Improvement Committee. Once a cost figur e is deter mined, we will publish that information. The parish Finance Council appreciates your assistance in covering these extraordinary expenses which obviously were not known at the time the current budget was approved last spring.
