[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 Third Sunday of Lent. As we continue our Lenten journey we are called today to allow God to purify our hearts in order to receive the wisdom and power to recognize Jesus as God present among us. In the first reading and the Gospel we hear about the two fundamental institutions of Israel; the Torah and the Temple. Jesus completely overturns this revealing Himself as the new Law, and the place where God and creation meet. Once more we are being called to scrutinize our lives in light of Jesus and ask ourselves if we are looking to Him, and Him alone as the truth we follow. Do we recognize His Body, the Church, is the place where we encounter Him in Word and Sacrament, and are nourished to acknowledge Him and Him alone as our way to Heaven? Thank you to all who have had their pictures taken for the New Photo Directory last month. We were fortunate to have most people show for appointments, and just a few who needed to cancel and reschedule due to illness. The weather also cooperated for the most part. If you still haven’t signed up, please do so this Month. There are many opportunities for pictures in April still available. Our goal is to have as many photographed as possible in order for the new book to be an invaluable tool for us to get to know one another better. Please go online to our parish website, www.olsorrows.org, and click on the LifeTouch Sign-up icon. If you need further assistance, please call the parish office. Where can you go for an evening of fun and fellowship and test your knowledge of many categories, all for the amazing low price of $20.? Right here at Faenger Hall, March 21st. Our Home and School Association will be hosting another amazing Trivia Night to benefit our School children. Doors open right after Mass at 6pm. Games begin at 6:30pm. Please sign-up and join in a great night out. See the bulletin for more details. Last weekend we had another taste of Winter with snow beginning Saturday afternoon, continuing through the night, and winding down with flurries and sleet on Sunday. I commend all those who made the attempt to come to Mass, and remind our ‘Seniors’ that didn’t venture out that God certainly doesn’t ask you to risk ‘life and limb’ to fulfill your duty. Hopefully you were able to remember Holy Mass on TV. I also want to express the parish’s gratitude to Tracy and our maintenance/ janitorial staff for clearing sidewalks and steps in order for us to enter Church safely. They did a valiant job both Saturday and Sunday. Take the opportunity when you see them to express your gratitude. Finally today, I am not at the parish for this weekend and next as I am spending the next two weeks at home in New England, before my Sabbatical, to visit with my mother and family. It is unusual for a Pastor to be gone during Lent, but thanks to Fr. Sigmund being here for Masses, and Deacon Dan lending a hand, I wanted to surprise Mom on her 88th Birthday (March 7th). It was important to me to have the chance to see her before heading off in May where it will be more difficult to be in contact for long periods of time. God Bless! Happy Lent! Remember those 3 Hail Marys. (Fr. Pete ) Your HELP is Needed! On Friday, March 13th after the 8:15 am Mass, we are going to wash the pews for Easter. If you can spare an hour or so to help just bring a bucket. Thanks to all for your help! Early Bulletin Deadlines!

When was the last Ɵme you went to confession? Many spiritual directors recommend going once a month. Last week, we learned about the reality of sin. Christ insƟtuted the Sacrament of ReconciliaƟon for the conversion of the bapƟzed who have been separated from Him by sin. “Each of the faithful who has reached the age of discreƟon is bound to confess his or her mortal sins at least once a year and always before receiving Holy Communion” (Compendium, 305). In the words of Pope Francis: “Be courageous and go to confession.” archstl.org/dynamic The Choir will present “A Service of Darkness” Sunday Evening, March 29th at 7:30 pm in Church Contemplative Outreach Retreat on The Spirituality of Teilhard de Chardin 4:30 p.m. Friday, March 27 through 1:00 p.m. Sunday, March 29, 2015 at Mercy Conference and Retreat Center 2039 N.
