PARISH BULLETIN |
Dear Parishioners, In todays gospel we see that what Jesus promised to the Samaritan woman and to all of us goes beyond ordinary water; it is a spring welling up within giving us eternal life. Praying on the following reflection may help us to appreciate this gift. There is a thirst in every human heart. We draw water from many wells: For those who have encountered Christ The encounter with Christ can happen As we continue through our Lenten journey let us not be afraid to acknowledge our inner thirst praying with confidence to the God who alone can quench that thirst. God Bless, |

READINGS FOR NEXT SUNDAY, (Optional Year A readings for use with the RCIA) IN THE HOUSE OF GOD I have been writing the last few weeks about the Eucharistic Prayer as part of our ongoing focus on it during this season of RENEW. You or I can internalize this great prayer better as we understand it more. In the U.S. we now have 13 different Eucharistic Prayers to use: the 4 prayers we usually find in the missalette, 3 prayers for Massses with children, 2 prayers for reconciliation, and 4 recently approved prayers for various occasions. While not all of these Eucharistic prayers are put together in the same way, they all share some common elements. One of these elements is the invocation of the Holy Spirit, or epiclesis. The bread and wine become the Body and Blood of Christ by the power of God when we remember Jesuss sacrifice. When you see the priest place his hands flat over the bread and wine, join him in praying for the Holy Spirit to make the gifts holy. - Pat Kelly*We pray for the ill: Tony Coogan, Koret Koelman, Terry McLeod, Adela Florez, Ana Cosgaya, Peter Capodonicco, Rosemary McHale, Arthur Candia, Bastiaan Blumenthal, Muriel Krause, Sister Cabrini, Don Vickery, Jeanne McHugh, Catherine Cook, Ann Burns, Imelda Daly, Margarita Velez, Marky, Marlyn Arancibia, Marcia Bourne, Sandra Dill, Randall Guerro, Denise Hawald, Cyndy Smerdel, Theresa Cook, Marina Buhain, Father Ring , Perry Gonis, Richard Quintana & Rita Gomez.

On each Friday during Lent (except for Good Friday), Stations will be held in the Church at 6:00 PM. A light Lenten Supper will follow in Hennessy Hall. This is an opportunity for us to pray together and for members of our Parish family to get to know one another.

COMMUNAL RECONCILIATION SERVICE |
We find forgiveness through the Sacrament of Reconciliation, where we hear the Word of God as He speaks to us of His forgiveness. The only requirement is sorrow for our sins.
