[email protected] Parish Mission Statement We, the Catholic community of Our Lady of Sorrows, are disciples of Jesus Christ through our Baptism. Nourished by Word and Sacrament we seek to form adults, teens and children in the ways of the Gospel, while welcoming new members to our parish and our Catholic faith. As a Eucharistic people, guided by the Holy Spirit, we minister to all, especially the ill, elderly and those in need, through works of fellowship, charity and justice. We strive to continue the mission of our parish begun a century ago through the prayerful intercession of Mary, Our Mother. Pastor’s Column: Today we celebrate the First Sunday of Lent. Just a few days ago we began this annual time of repentance and renewal with ashes marking us as sinners in need of turning away from sin to believe in the Gospel. For the past few days we have heard the three disciplines suggested by the Church’s tradition to accomplish this goal; prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. Today we are invited to return to the faithfulness of the covenant God has made with us in baptism. Our first reading this weekend tells us the story of God establishing His covenant with Noah after the flood. The rainbow becomes the sign of God’s mercy and love. In the Gospel, Jesus spends 40 days in the desert preparing for ministry where He is tempted by Satan. As He begins, His message is the one we began Lent with, “Repent and believe in the Gospel.” As we journey the path of repentance this year, may God open our hearts to this time of grace to experience the gift of His divine mercy and forgiveness. May the Spirit lead us all to renewal and new birth as disciples of Jesus. Photos for the new Photo Directory begin this week on Tuesday, Feb. 24th, in the Stolte/Schuermann Room. Thank you to all who have signed up and will be part of this great tool for communication and getting to know each other. It is not too late to be included. There are many slots available in April still open. Please go online to the parish website, olsorrows.org, and click the link to the sign-up page. Please try to be on time for your appointment as this keeps the process moving as scheduled. Thank you, God Bless you. With Lent each year comes several opportunities and various ways of almsgiving. I am especially grateful to our parish Social Justice Commission for promoting the annual Catholic Relief Service Rice Bowl program. Both our school children and parishioners are encouraged to use this simple program to help those in need around the world and in our local community. Each weekend we will also be collecting canned goods around the cross near the Perpetual Help shrine for our St. Vincent de Paul Society’s Food Pantry. Each week we encourage parishioners to remember the poor by bringing canned goods and placing them by the cross. Throughout Lent the canned goods rise higher and higher as a sign of our solidarity with those in need. Throughout Lent there are also opportunities for more intense prayer, (one of the four signs of a ‘Dynamic Catholic.’) Maybe plan on attending daily Mass one or more times a week, especially on Fridays. Eucharistic Adoration is another opportunity to hear Jesus invite us to “watch one hour with me,” as He did to Peter, James, and John in the Garden before His Passion. Each week, there will be Stations of the Cross at 7pm for the community, and most weeks the School children will pray this devotion at 2:10pm. When we think of fasting during Lent, let’s make it doable! What can I offer up to the Lord as a sacrifice to show my love and priority I want to give to my God? The simpler, the better, as long as it helps us enter the season with a goal to allow God to change our hearts. Prayer, Fasting, and Almsgiving are three great ways to repent and believe in the Gospel. Finally today, as we have experienced a taste of winter this past week, please remember in your prayers the people of New England who are being hammered with more and more snow than we could possibly imagine. Many are growing ‘Winter Weary’ after receiving, not inches, but several feet of snow. God Bless! Happy Lent! Remember those 3 Hail Marys. (Fr. Pete ) UPCOMING WORKSHOP: Wednesday March 18, 2015 at 7pm In the Stolte-Schuermann Room Speech Meet News Our Lady of Sorrows did a wonderful job at the most recent Speech Meet at St. Joan of Arc.

It may be hard to know the difference between age-related changes and the first signs of Alzheimer’s disease. Some people may recognize changes in themselves before anyone else notices. Other times, friends and family will be the first to observe changes in memory, behavior or abilities. To help identify problems early, the Alzheimer’s Association has created a list of warning signs for Alzheimer’s and other dementias. Individuals may experience one or more of these in different degrees. 1. Memory loss that disrupts daily life. One of the most common signs of Alzheimer's especially in the early stages, is forgetting recently learned information. Others include forgetting important dates or events; asking of the same information over and over and increasingly needing to rely on memory aids (e.g. reminder notes or electronic devices) or family members for things they used to handle on their own. What’s a typical age-related change? Sometimes forgetting names or appointments but remembering them later. 2. Challenges in planning or solving problems. Some people may experience changes in their ability to develop and follow a plan or work with numbers. They may have trouble following a familiar recipe or keeping track of monthly bills. They may have difficulty concentrating and take much longer to do things than they did before. What’s a typical age-related change? Making occasional errors when balancing a checkbook. 3. Difficulty completing familiar tasks at home, at work or at leisure. People with Alzheimer’s often find it hard to complete daily tasks. Sometimes, people may have trouble driving to a familiar location, managing a budget at work or remembering the rules of a favorite game. What’s a typical age-related change? Occasionally needing help to use the settings on a microwave or to record a television show. 4. Confusion with time or place. People with Alzheimer’s can lose track of dates, seasons and the passage of time. They may have trouble understanding something if it is not happening immediately. Sometimes they may forget where they are or how they got there. What’s a typical age-related change? Getting confused about the day of the week but figuring it out later. 5. Trouble understanding visual images and spatial relationships. For some people, having vision problems is a sign of Alzheimer’s they may have difficulty reading, judging distance and determining color or contrast, which may cause problems with driving. What’s a typical age-related change? Vision changes related to cataracts.
