Laetare Sunday 

This weekend March 14 & 15 is the 4th Sunday of Lent, commonly known as Laetare (lay tah ray) Sunday, translated as "Joyful Sunday." Laetare Sunday is a little break in our penitential season. Rose vestments may be used and flowers can be used in decorating the altar area. It's a moment of refreshment, a glimpse of the Resurrection's joy, encouraging perseverance in Lenten practices. Everyone  is encouraged to wear rose or pink and to join us for coffee and donuts in the gathering space after Mass.

St. Joseph is venerated for his role in family life with Mary and Jesus. He is the patron saint of the universal church, fathers and workers, especially carpenters. 

Lent Is Approaching

Lent invites us into a season of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving as we grow closer to Christ and reflect on His sacrifice and love. From Ash Wednesday through Holy Week, there are many opportunities for Mass, Reconciliation, Adoration, Stations of the Cross, and special feast days to help you enter into the season more deeply.

Please use the drop-down menu to view the full Lenten schedule, including Mass times, devotions, and important observances.

Women’s Bible Study

Tuesday Mornings | April 7-May 26 |10-11:30a.m.| PLC

Many Catholics want to read the Bible because they know it is God’s Word, but they give up because it seems so complicated. Unlocking the Mystery of the Bible helps you get the “big picture” by showing how fourteen narrative books of the Bible tell the complete story from Adam and Eve to Christ and the Church. Presenter Jeff Cavins shows you how to read the Bible so that you can actually understand it. Aided by the unique color-coded Bible Timeline® Chart, which arranges the key people, places, and events of Scripture in chronological order, Unlocking the Mystery of the Bible will help you discover the story of salvation history and understand how you fit into God’s plan. This eight-session study program includes video presentations that explore all twelve time periods of The Bible Timeline Chart.

RSVP no later than March 17 to Debbie Shearn at dkshea01@hotmail.com.

Environmental Concerns Committee Fish Fry Report

It’s hard to believe, but we are halfway through the St. Albert fish fry season, and what a good season it has been so far. The Environmental Concerns Committee has been hard at work with their recycling efforts. So far, after 3 weeks, we have recycled 7.5 big bags of aluminum cans, 3 big bags of plastic, 225 aluminum food pans, 181 large tin cans, more than a big leaf bag of pull tabs, 51 pieces of shrink wrap, and a whole bunch of cardboard. We are on pace to set new recycling records this year! Please continue to help us by recycling all you can while at our fish fries. Remember, you do make a difference, please make it a positive one. Thanks! Environmental Ernie

P.S. We will be selling St. Albert tote bags in the cafeteria with the carry out orders for the special price of $1 per bag beginning this week!
