Finally the long shortest month of the year comes to a close this week, and the hope of Spring seems imminent.

Our Lenten journey begins on Wednesday as we observe Ash Wednesday. Please check the bulletin for details on the many services we will offer throughout the day. Although we celebrate Mass only at 9am, there are ample opportunities to receive ashes throughout the day. Read more.

World Marriage Sunday is a time for us all to reflect on the uniquely sacramental nature of marriage. While our parish seems to be bucking the national trends on marriages -- we have seen a dramatic increase in the number of marriages and convalidations over the past five years -- we all know that there is still some serious work to do. This weekend we offer a blessing to all of our married couples. For those of you who are celebrating special anniversaries this year, the bishop will celebrate a Mass for married couples sometime in the fall, usually October. Stay tuned for further details.
