Lent is a Journey – How will you live it? The Rice Bowl project by the Catholic Relief Services (CRS) is one way we invite you to join the Catholics around the USA to
support the efforts of our church to serve the poor and areas of devastation that arise around the world. It is as simple as picking up
one of the Rice Bowls at the door of our church on Ash Wednesday or the first Sunday of Lent. An Information sheet is found
inside or for more information go to the website. Each day, drop your extra coins/dollars in the bowl as a reminder of the Lenten
pledge to pray, fast and help the needy. At the end of Lent, follow the instructions to send your donation or bring it to the church
where we will collect, count and send a check to CRE. Mother Teresa said, “Live simply so that the others can simply live!”
La Cuaresma es una jornada- ¿Cómo la vives tú? El Proyecto “El Plato de Arroz”, de los Servicios Católicos de Ayuda (CRS), es una forma en que los invitamos a unirse a todos
los Católicos de los Estados Unidos, para apoyar los esfuerzos que hace nuestra iglesia para servir a los pobres aquí y en las áreas de
devastación que van en aumento alrededor del mundo. Es tan sencillo como tomar unas cajitas marcadas como “El Plato de
Arroz”, que podrán encontrar a la entrada de nuestra iglesia a partir del Miércoles de Ceniza, o durante el primer Domingo
de Cuaresma. Dentro encontrarán una hoja de información de cómo usarse o si desean mayor información, pueden entrar en la red
de internet. Cada día, pueden guardar monedas/billetes en la cajita, como recordatorio de que la Cuaresma nos pide orar, ayunar y
ayudar a los necesitados. Al terminar la Cuaresma, sigan las instrucciones para enviar su donativo, o tráiganlo a la iglesia, donde
se recolecta, cuenta y envía mediante un cheque a CRE. La Madre Teresa dijo: “¡Vivamos con sencillez para que otros puedan
simplemente vivir!”. Dios los ama a ustedes.

The sacraments of initiation - Baptism, Confirmation,
and Holy Communion—are the three primary sacraments
on which the rest of our life as a Christian depends.
Through Baptism, we are cleansed of Original Sin and
receive sanctifying grace, the life of God within our souls. Confirmation is the perfection of Baptism, and it gives us
the grace to live our life as a Christian boldly and without
shame. We invite you to join us for this four-part series on
the Sacraments. To learn more about Becoming Cath-
olic, contact Kelly Hawkins at 713.515.8177 or visit

BEAUTY IN FORGIVENESS Humanity is never so beautiful as when praying for forgiveness, or else forgiving another.
—Jean P. F. Richter
What Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament
Means to Me. I remember as a child the many times I would go with my
father before the Tabernacle at our church where we would
kneel and pray in silence before the Blessed Sacrament. Now as
an adult I realize how special that was for my father because it
also became a very special time for me.
I look forward to every Wednesday where I have time to be
before the Presence of God, the actual, physical presence of
Jesus in the Eucharist. This is my time where I talk to Jesus one
-on-one. I give Him thanks for everything He has blessed me
with in my life. I ask Him for healing for my family and friends
who are sick and in need of His presence in their lives. I also
spend some time in silence to try and listen to what Jesus may
want to say to me. Wednesday nights at Adoration are truly a
special time. It is an honor to be before the Presence of God! I
once read "Time spent with our Beloved Savior in Adoration
can really become the most profound, joyful, meaningful, peace-
ful and healing experience we could ever encounter" and I can
testify to that! I would like to encourage everyone to have a one
-on-one talk with Jesus at Adoration. It can really enrich your
faith. This is a written testimonial from a parishioner.

Religious Formation for Youth and Children
February 23rd Discussion meets in TALC #2, Monday
from 7:00 PM to 8:15 PM. We were “Made for More” by God
than just eating, sleeping and
working. Lent is a good time to
look if we are living for God or
just our own “more”. After
Jesus’ baptism, He went into the
desert for 40 days of prayer and
fasting to understand how God
called him to be more than Jo-
seph’s carpenter son. Join us to
discuss ideas by Curtis Martin
how we may become more.
Seek these 40 days of Lent to be
made for more in life like Jesus.
Jesus had an ordinary life until
about 30 years of age when it turned
into an extraordinary mission. Where
are you in your life: not started with
the mission, on the way, or tasting the
extraordinary grace of God in life?
Lent is the time to examine our
mission. Come hear John Wood’s
key insights but even more, share the
adventures of your mission journey.
In walking together we can renew the
ordinary life of the church with the
extraordinary. The discussion group
meets Monday March 2, 9 and 23
from 7:00 - 8:30 PM in TALC #3.
