“This week is already the middle of our Lenten Season. Have we gotten into the spirit of this season yet? I know how easy it is for me to just go along as if this was any other time of year. Yet we are called to make it special – to make this a little time of retreat in the midst of our daily life. There is still time, let’s use it well.
“Lent is about seeking forgiveness. Let’s make good use of the Sacrament of Reconciliation. There will be a Penance Service this Thursday evening at MPH.
“As we look ahead to the Easter Season, the Community Handbell Choir will be hosting an open community concert on April 12. Besides the Handbell choir, we invite individuals or groups to share their musical talents also. Please let me know if you would like to participate.”…Fr. Dave
