Each time we receive one of the Sacraments, we are transformed. For example, Baptism transforms us into sons and daughters of God and heirs of Heaven. Confirmation makes us temples of the Holy Spirit and warriors of God. By the Sacrament of Reconciliation, God brings back the sinner to the path of holiness. In each Holy Mass, the bread and wine we offer on the altar are changed into the crucified and risen, living body and blood of Jesus. Just as Jesus' Transfiguration strengthened the apostles in their time of trial, each holy Mass should be our source of heavenly strength against temptations, and our renewal during Lent. In addition, our holy Communion with the living Jesus should be the source of our daily “transfiguration,” transforming our minds and hearts so that we may do more good by humble and selfless service to others.

THE SECOND COLLECTION this weekend is for Maintenance and Repairs. Please be prayerfully generous.

The Rockwell Dinners Project 

Catholic Social Services and Rockwell Dinners has begun gathering food for Easter Dinners for our neighbors.  The Project has been asked to provide 100 dinners for families who have lost their jobs, savings, livelihoods and, in some cases, their actual wage earner to the horrid pandemic and its associated incessant lockdowns.

Please consider giving a little something during this Lenten Season to this home-grown, grass-roots project to help our neighbors in need.  Call Bob Maceluch at 251-471-4894 or 583-1555.
