PARISH BULLETIN |

As we pondered our Parish Lenten theme; "WE ARE ONE BODY, ONE BODY IN CHRIST", we remedied this prayer that we wrote a few years ago: We, your family of believers, gather this day Together we proclaim Jesus’ death till his return The moment comes when bread and wine We take and eat your body, Lord; |

READINGS FOR NEXT SUNDAY, Genesis 9:8-15; 1 Peter 3:18-22; Mark 1:12-15 IN THE HOUSE OF GOD Please read our final insert in the bulletin today regarding the changes in our communion procession at the 4:30pm, 9:00am and 10:30am masses. Today begins the fourth season of RENEW 2000, and with that we begin our look at the Eucharistic Prayer and Communion Rite in the liturgy. As you silently pray the Eucharistic Prayer with the priest, take note of the language we use. How much does the prayer say "I, me, mine," and how much does it say "we, us" and "our"? Even though it is voiced by one person (appropriately so—our priest and presider), the Eucharistic Prayer is very much a communal prayer. - Pat Kelly *We welcome into the family of God: Richard Pasquet, Joseph Siordia, Nicholas Brouqua, Michael Jensen & Stephanie Shu, who were baptized in Christ. *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, Anthony Arrahoo & Rita Gomez. As a Parish Community, We Pray On this Sabbath Day, as we commission facilitators of faith-sharing groups, may the Holy Spirit grant healing and reconciliation to all who participate in Renew 2000. |
