Makos left for Michigan early Monday morning, I was able to speak with him on the phone and relate to him your overwhelmingly supportive response to his letter in last week’s bulletin. He in turn extends to you his gratitude for your understanding and kindness as he embarks on his path toward healing. Many of you have requested his address at Guest House in order to send him notes of encouragement. I will post his contact information in next week’s bulletin so as to give him some time to settle down before receiving your kind letters. Our Lenten programming continues this week with Evening Prayer on Friday at 6:30pm at St. Ann’s. Evening Prayer is driven by the prayerful recitation of the Psalms. It’s a great way to wind down after a long day and settle into the peace of Christ. I will offer a brief talk on how important the Word of God is in our life of Faith. Please join us if you can!

Despite the unbelievable accumulation of snow, freezing temperatures and slippery walkways, parents and students navigated their way to Fr Lane Hall to cheer on their favorite orator. Each year all students in grades 4 – 6 are invited and encouraged to participate. This year 18 students accepted the challenge, memorized a speech and did a spectacular job on delivery. The range of topics included Olympic speeches, poetry, historical events and amusing works by Shel Silverstein. Selecting winners was no easy task for the judges. First place was earned by Faith Do of grade 5 for her recitation of Old Ironsides by Oliver Wendell Holmes. Ryan Quinn also from Grade 5 received second place for his recitation of Coach Herb Brooks’ address to his Olympic hockey team titled Miracle On Ice. 6th grader Niall Ryan’s delivery for Friday Night Lights by Coach Gaines earned him 3 rd place. Ini addition, 2 students earned honorable mentions, Eamon Kelly of grade 4 selected a motivating address by the Irish Patriot Michael Collins, and Cameron Elwell of grade 5 for Dr. Who from the British TV program. It was such a great treat to attend to oratory and to witness how many students have drown in self esteem, poise, and maturity. Congratulations to all the contestants for a most enjoyable program. May you continue to accept lifes challenges and always do your personal best! 6 Second Sunday of Lent March 1, 2015 Please Pray for our fellow Parishioners and relatives who are ill or have special intentions. **Celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day Early! ** Saturday March 7 at 2:00 pm Keyes Community Room in the Milton Public Library 476 Canton Avenue, Milton.
