Worship Life and Faith Formation Ministries
First Friday Adoration The next First Friday Adoration is Thursday April 5th through Friday April 6th in the Ave Maria Chapel from 6:00
pm Thursday evening through 12:00 Noon in the Ave Maria Chapel.
First Friday Rosary We pray the Rosary for the deceased members of our Parish community and for family and friends on the First Friday of
each month in the Ave Maria Chapel at 11:30 am.
Liturgy of the Hours Liturgy of the Hours are prayed each morning in the Ave Maria Chapel, before Mass or at 7:00am. Please join us.
Lenten Fridays/Eucharistic Adoration There will be no Friday morning Adoration during Lent, instead there will be Adoration every Friday in the Sanctuary
from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm. Benediction is at 6:00 pm. At 6:15 pm Stations of the Cross begin, which helps us reflect on the
passion and death of Jesus. Stations of the Cross will be read by the following groups each week: Mar 9 – Knights of Co-
lumbus (Fish Dinner); Mar 16 – Waco Catholic Moms; Mar 23 – Senior Youth Group - Mime Stations; Mar 30 – 3PM
Good Friday – MOSTJ - Fr. Raj Reflection. After Stations the group responsible for the Stations of the Cross each week
will put on a Lenten Supper in Jordan Hall. All are invited and urged to come to these devotions.
R.C.I.A. Angels
Scripture speaks about different “orders” or types of angels. First, there are the Seraphim, who surround the throne of God
and glorify him with songs of praise and adoration (Isaiah 6:3). There are also cherubim, who guard God’s presence
(Genesis 3:24; Ezekiel 10:4-8; Psalm 99:1). There are three archangels as well, who have more direct interaction with God’s
creation: Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael. Michael is depicted as a mighty warrior leading God’s army in war against Satan
(Revelation 12:7; Jude 9). Gabriel is the high messenger who announced God’s plan to Mary and Zechariah (Luke 1:18-19,
26-28). Raphael is known as the angel of healing for the way he delivered Tobit from blindness and Sarah from demonic
harassment (Tobit 8:1-3; 11:7-14). Scripture also makes brief mention of other angelic orders, but does not explain them:
Thrones, Dominions, Principalities, Powers (Ephesians 1:21; Colossians 1:16). Over the centuries, saints and theologians
have proposed different hierarchies of angels, as well as different names for these orders. But no matter their differences,
they all agree: Angels are very real—and they are very active, both in the heavens and on the earth.
Class Topic 3/7: No class – Spring break
From Ashes to Easter The annual diocesan Ashes to Easter Lenten Mission Campaign has begun. Each family is invited to pick up a box and keep
it on or near the family dining table or by their bedside table. Put in some coins each day during Lent, and pray for missions
worldwide. Contributing coins each day is a corporal work of mercy that will help shelter the homeless and a spiritual work
of mercy that will help comfort the sorrowful. The money collected helps local missionaries and missionary projects from
our diocese.
Baptism Class Jordan Hall, 6:30pm. Classes are held on the 3rd Thursday of each month. This class is required for parents who wish to
have their child baptized. The next class will be this Thursday, March 15, 2018.
Scripture Study and Continuing Adult Education Morning group meets on Tuesday in the Annex from 9:45 to 11:30 am. Evening group meets on Tuesday in Jordan Hall
from 6:15 to 8:15 pm. Contact: Joan Potter at 254-420-1868 or Deacon Greg George at 254-424-3061. All are invited.

and Saturday Morning group in Jordan Hall at 8:00 am. For more information contact Bill Leek 716-3416.
