What a joy to walk with you along the Stations of the Cross as we reflected on how following Jesus keeps us on the narrow path that leads to life!

There is still time to bring back your baby bottles---empty or filled for Our Lady's Inn. Each empty bottle saves OLI from buying replacements. Please bring your bottle in April.

See you on March 26th for class!

Don't forget, we are going to confession. Take a moment to examine your conscience before you arrive.

Report an absence here!

Luke 13: 1-9

This week we hear the story of the prodigal son---some think it better called the Merciful Father. What has been your experience of mercy? Do you allow yourself to receive God's mercy? If we look at Rembrandt's painting of the Prodigal Son, we notice that the son has been on a long, hard journey. Some of our spiritual journeys may feel similar, especially if we have been away from Reconciliation for a number of years. If you are struggling to come back to Reconciliation, or the distance seems impossible to close, know that even the smallest opening in your heart to the Father's mercy brings you to his threshold. He is already up and running to you! This Lent, how will you meet his embrace?

On the way to Mass: How does it feel to ask for forgiveness?

On the way home from Mass: Why do you think the Father threw a party when his son came home?

Challenge of the Week: Make a plan to go to Reconciliation before Easter---consider joining our parish service with outside confessors on April 10th from 5:30-7pm.
