March 2021 Newsletter
FEBRUARY RECAP
We walked into February continuing to support one another as we slowly opened up our church. Weekly Parish Zoom activities got us through our mornings with song, scripture and prayer, as well as our Men and Women's prayer groups, allowing us to share our faith in community with one another. We also continued our Faith Programs like RCIA. Maria Shao has led those preparing to receive sacraments through discussions, sharing and learning more about the Catholic faith. Our Faith Formation students continue to prepare for their sacraments like Reconciliation, First Holy Communion and Confirmation. We thank all our catechists, who patiently work with our students on Zoom to teach and share the word of God.
We also began the season of Lent - the time for prayer, repentance and reflection. We hope and pray you have been keeping your Lenten promises, and continue to feel the peace God is calling you to. Keep walking with Jesus - He is there to help you along the way.UPCOMING EVENTS
