The students are beginning their preparation for Lent. Please join us for our Family Activity Night on Wednesday February 18th (Ash Wednesday) at 5:45 pm for a cheese pizza dinner, Lenten activity, and Mass at 7 pm.
The season of Lent presents families with an opportunity to examine our family life and to re-commit ourselves to the Christian practices of almsgiving, prayer, and fasting. Each of us is invited to do these things as individuals, but we can also do one or more actions as a family. Ash Wednesday is a good time for families to pray together and to plan the family’s Lenten practices.
Family Challenge – Today’s Gospel teaches us about anger. Challenge each family member to control anger or angry outbursts this week. Make an effort to talk about angry feelings and find peaceful solutions to problems.
Liturgy Link – Find a piece of art in church and study it. It can be a painting, sculpture, or stained-glass window. What is the story that is being conveyed through this work of art?
