Dear Parishioners,
Our deanery penance service will be next Sunday, March

priests of the deanery will be at this service. We will have
our own penance service with the CCD students
Wednesday, March 18, 7:00 p.m. There will be four
priests at this service: Fr. Bill Peiffer, Fr. Scott Kramer,
C.PP.S., Fr. Tony Recker and myself. I will list some
additional times for confessions in next week’s bulletin.
As we continue our Lenten journey, please remember in
prayer all of our candidates in the RCIA program who are

a couple of weeks ago with Bishop Thomas in Findlay.
May God bring to fulfillment the good works He has
begun in all of us.
