FRIDAY FISH FRY
This Friday, treat yourself to the KC Fish Fry. Be sure to order now (before 7pm Thursday), then use the Austin Pkwy drive to get in the pickup line between 5pm-7pm Friday to take home your fish dinner, ready-to-eat with all the sides. Drive-up orders are also accepted – but have your credit card, check or exact change ready!
STATIONS OF THE CROSS
Pray the Liturgy of the Hours at 6:30pm and the Stations of the Cross at 7pm this Friday in the church. (Please enter the parking lot from Sweetwater.) You may download the responses HERE. If you cannot come in-person, you’ll be happy to find a beautiful recording on our website.
GIVE TO THE GIVING TREE
Our annual Lenten Drive for common household items allows the Social Concerns Ministry to provide basic assistance to those in need. Take a tag from the tag line or go online to donate. As you can imagine, the need is greater than ever right now. Thank you!
CONGRATULATIONS DEACON TIM
After multiple date changes due to COVID and then the weather, Deacon Tim Cullen was finally ordained last Saturday, February 20, at the Co-Cathedral. He’ll be at all Masses this weekend, so be sure to take a moment to congratulate (and thank) him.
LENTEN CONFESSIONS
Plan to come to the church between 6:30-8:30pm on Monday, March 1, to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Ten priests will be on hand to hear confessions. Masks and safe-distancing are required, of course.
40 DAYS FOR LIFE
This Lent, consider serving as a silent, prayerful witness for the sanctity of life outside an abortion facility. Sign up for a time between 8:30am-2:30pm any Monday or Thursday thru March 25, and show your respect for every life.
LENTEN CALENDAR
Count down to Easter and make this a meaningful Lent by downloading and printing a Lenten calendar. Here are two really good ones – one inspired by Love God from the US Bishops and another inspired by Love Neighbor from Catholic Relief Services.
SITTING IN SILENCE
This Lent, share some time with God in Adoration before the Blessed Sacrament. There are currently 8 open hours requiring a committed adorer. Read this by coordinator Fran Magelssen and just do it!
ADULT CONFIRMATION
Adult Catholics desiring the Sacrament of Confirmation can sign up for preparation classes leading to Confirmation on Pentecost. Offered via Zoom on 9 Thursday evenings, starting March 25. Go HERE for info and submit the form to get the process started.
STEP UP TO SANITIZE
Sign up to sanitize after Mass and other events in the church. It’s easy! Two people can get the job done in minutes using battery-operated sprayers to mist the entire church. Sign up now to serve with a friend or family member. Contact Nia Sepe with questions.
PRAY THE ROSARY
Praying the Rosary is a beautiful (and effective!) way to yoke your life to Jesus. Arrive early for the Noon Mass in the church this Lent, or every 2nd Sunday after the 11am Mass in the AMC Rosary Garden, or get the Zoom link to join the Family Rosary each Friday at 7pm.
CHRISTIAN MEDITATION
Learn the basics of Christian Meditation this Lent with our Christian Meditation Prayer Group. Each Thursday 7pm-8pm this Lent they meet on Zoom. All ages welcome, great for families, too. Go HERE and contact Patrick King for details.
THE BIBLE & THE MASS
Make the connection between the Bible and the Mass. The next 6-week Journey Through Scripture Bible Study begins March 22. It’s offered via Zoom on Mondays 7pm-9pm. $15 covers the cost of materials. Go HERE to register in advance.
SUMMER CAMP
The deadline has been extended to April 5 to register your high school teen for Life Teen Summer Camp, but register now to save a spot at Camp Covecrest. Contact Mike Cleary for more details about this Spirit-filled weekend July 26-31.
FAITHFUL PRESENCE
Register now for the Archdiocesan Young Adult Day on Saturday, March 27. There’s a Lenten Reflection with Adoration and Confession at Holy Rosary Parish in Midtown in the morning, with online speakers in the afternoon. Only $25 if you register before March 9.
MASS COUNTS
You came back! We were at or near-capacity at four of our six Masses last weekend. Thank you for your generosity in understanding, but for now, our capacity remains at 450. Last weekend’s numbers: Sat 5pm-369, Sun 7am-230, 9am-450, 11am-450, 1pm-450, 5pm-427
