Thank you from Fr. Murat and our sister parish in Haiti!
Fr. Murat has begun his trip back home to Haiti but has expressed his gratitude for the great generosity you showed this weekend as he spoke about the needs of our sister parish. He is returning home with the proceeds from the emergency collection this past weekend as well as additional funds from our account with the Missions Office. We look forward to the Archbishop's Annual Appeal this coming weekend so that we can make sure we have the money needed to continue the feeding program we help to support. Thank you for your generosity!

From Our Pastor
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Thank you for your warm and generous response to Fr. Murat last weekend. Thanks to your generosity, we were able to provide him with over $13,000 from the weekend Masses, in addition to the $10,000 we offered from our Haiti funds in the Missions Office. Now, as I mentioned last Sunday, we need to replenish those funds so that we can continue to fulfill our pledge to support the long-term feeding program through the purchase of food, and support of the teachers’ salaries at our sister parish (Our Lady of Nativity—Haiti). So I ask you to be generous again this year with the Archbishop's Annual Appeal so that our parish rebate can be used to build up those funds again. As you know, we give 42.5% of our parish rebate to our sister parish in Haiti, another 42.5% for our sister parish here in Baltimore (St. Veronica's) and the remaining 15% we give to support the work of Catholic evangelization right here in our own area through ChristLife. Thank you for your generosity!
It's hard to believe, but the season of Lent begins on Wednesday, February 17 with Ash Wednesday. Our Mass schedule will be the same as in the past: Masses at 6:30am, 9:30am and 7:00pm. Our parish will mark these special days of prayer, fasting and almsgiving with special events on the Fridays of Lent: a simple soup supper beginning at 6pm, Stations of the Cross at 7:00pm, and a Lenten DVD retreat by Fr. Barron at 7:30pm (this year focusing on the theme of great conversion stories from Scripture and what they teach us about our own conversion). We will also be using the Little Black Books again this year to help with our own daily personal prayer, as well as Wednesday night confessions at 7pm, and the addition of a 6:30am Mass on Wednesday and Friday mornings. This will be a great time of grace for us - I pray we will be able to enter deeply into this special season.
