***** As we draw close to Holy Week, we hear Jesus talk about His approaching death. Yet His message to His disciples is not so much about His death as it is about eternal life. As Christians, we know that as difficult as death is, our true focus, our true hope is in eternal life, trusting that our Lord is our source of eternal salvation. During this final week before Holy Week, let us keep in mind that just as our Lenten journey will not end with Good Friday, but with Easter, so too does our own life’s journey end not in death but in new life.

 

**** Our Lenten Penance Service will be from 6:30 to 8 p.m. this Wednesday, (3/20). Please note: this will be the last opportunity for Reconciliation at St. Benedicts’s during Lent. There will be no further Confessions until after Easter.

 

***** STATIONS OF THE CROSS will be at 6 p.m. every Friday during Lent.

 

***** DIOCESAN SUPPORT (DSA) 2024

On behalf of those who benefit from the Diocesan Support Appeal, thank you for your generosity. Nine families have contributed so far. The theme of “One Body in Christ” reminds us that we are called to join in Christ’s love to serve one another with compassion. This year’s goal for St. Benedict’s is $28,753.
