Dear parishioners and friends:

THE HOLY SEASON OF LENT…SEEK MERCY… LIVE MERCY

It is hard to believe, but the Season of Lent begins this Wednesday. I pray the Lenten Season is a time of renewal for you, your family, and our parish. In the bulletin this week you will find our Ash Wednesday and Lenten schedule. On Ash Wednesday, we are offering many Masses and Services throughout the day. The beautiful Lenten Devotion of the Stations of the Cross will be conducted at both St. Lawrence and St. Luke Churches. There is also plenty of opportunities to experience the Sacrament of Reconciliation in our parish. Confession is available before the Saturday evening Masses at both our churches and we are one of the only parishes in the diocese offering daily reconciliation, at 6:30 p.m. every weeknight at St. Lawrence. To enrich your prayer and faith life we will once again offer The Journey scripture and prayer program. If you were part of The Journey last fall, please join us for this new session and if you did not join us in the past I encourage you to join one of the groups during Lent. Daily Mass and Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament on Thursday’s are other ways to grow your faith life during Lent. Further, as we did last year, we will offer practical suggestions with prayer and service suggestions in our churches. Yes, Ash Wednesday is around the corner and Lent is fast approaching. Receive the Mercy of Christ during this Holy Season and live mercy as you practice acts of love and kindness at home and in the community. I pray you have a Blessed and Holy Lent.

God Bless you and your family, Father Vince

Queridos feligreses y amigos:

EN LA SÉPTIMA TEMPORADA DE CUARESMA ... BUSQUE MISERICORDIA ... AMOR Y MISERICORDIA

Es difícil de creer, pero la temporada de cuaresma comienza este miércoles. Oro para que este tiempo de cuaresma sea un tiempo de renovación para usted, su familia y nuestra parroquia. En el boletín de esta semana encontrarás nuestro horario de Miércoles de Ceniza y Cuaresma. El Miércoles de Ceniza, estamos ofreciendo muchas Misas y Servicios durante todo el día. La hermosa Devoción Cuaresmal de las Estaciones de la Cruz se llevará a cabo en las iglesias de San Lorenzo y San Lucas. También hay muchas oportunidades para experimentar el Sacramento de la Reconciliación en nuestra parroquia. La confesión está disponible antes de las misas del sábado por la noche en nuestras dos iglesias y somos una de las únicas parroquias en la diócesis que ofrece reconciliación diaria, a las 6:30 p.m. todas las noches de San Lorenzo. Para enriquecer su oración y su vida de fe, una vez más ofreceremos la escritura y el programa de oración El CAMINO. Si fuiste parte de la primera parte en otoño pasado, únase a nosotros para esta nueva sesión y si no formo parte, te animo a que te unas a uno de los grupos durante la Cuaresma. La misa diaria y la Adoración del Santísimo Sacramento los jueves y otras formas de hacer crecer su vida de fe durante la Cuaresma. Además, como lo hicimos el año pasado, ofreceremos sugerencias prácticas de oración y servicio en nuestras iglesias. Sí, el Miércoles de Ceniza está a la vuelta de la esquina y la Cuaresma la tenemos muy cerca. Recibe la Misericordia de Cristo durante esta Sagrada Temporada y vive la misericordia mientras practicas actos de amor y bondad en casa y en la comunidad. Oro para que tengas una Bendecida y Santa Cuaresma.

Dios te bendiga a ti y a tu familia, Padre Vicente
