READINGS FOR THE WEEK Monday: Lv 19:1-2, 11-18; Ps 19:8-10, 15;
18 de febrero de 2018 Primer domingo de Cuaresma "Después de que Juan había sido arrestado, Jesús vi-no a Galilea proclamando el evangelio de Dios..." - MARCOS 1:14 ¿Alguna vez pensaste en lo difícil que debe haber sido para Jesús entrar a Galilea, sabiendo que Juan acababa de ser arrestado por enseñar el mismo mensaje que Jesús estaba proclamando? A Jesús le debe haber requerido gran amor y confianza para hacer lo que el Padre le había enviado a hacer aquí en la tierra. De la misma manera, seguir una vida de corresponsabilidad requiere gran amor y confianza. Debemos estar dispuestos a rendirnos por completo a Dios, confiando en que Dios siempre nos dará todo lo que necesitamos para cumplir Su plan para nosotros.
February 18, 2018 1st Sunday of Lent “After John had been arrested, Jesus came to Galilee proclaiming the gospel of God….” - MARK 1:14 Do you ever think about how difficult it must have been for Jesus to come into Galilee, knowing that John had just been arrested for teaching the same message that Jesus was proclaiming. It must have taken great love and trust for Jesus to do what the Father had sent Him here on earth to do. In the same way, following a life of stewardship takes great love and trust from us. We must be willing to surrender completely to God, trusting that God will always give us all that we need to fulfill His plan for us.
Help Needed One of our parishioners is desperately seeking a reliable used vehicle. She is able to make small monthly pay-ments. If you can help please call Rindy at 912-441-6409.

Let’s talk about bullying Without question, bullying is among the top challenges facing our children today. Giving them the chance to safely speak up about it is the first step to overcoming the challenge. Written by best-selling author, pediatrician and religious educator Pat Fosarelli, Let’s Talk About Bully-ing provides a faith-centered booklet to help parents and children to open up with each other about bullying. If you would like copies for your class or your family, please contact Celeste Gish at [email protected].
First Penance set for February 25 Second-graders will have First Penance on February 25 during regular class time.
First Communion is scheduled for the 5 pm Mass on Sat-urday, May 5, 2018, at St. Boniface.
There will be one more prayer check for First Commun-ion candidates. Please work with your child to ensure that she/he is prepared. Our traditional prayers are a time-honored part of our Catholic heritage and a diocesan re-quirement to receive the sacrament.
Sign of the Cross, Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be were all required in first grade so the only new prayers are the Act of Contrition, Grace Before Meals and The Great Commandment.
Confirmation set for December 1 The Most Rev. Bishop Gregory Hartmayer, OFM, Conv., will be the celebrant at our Confirmation Mass on Satur-day, December 1, 2018, at 5 pm. Students who are now in eighth grade and have completed the two-year prepara-tion program are eligible to be confirmed.
Please contact Celeste Gish at 912.754.1432 or [email protected] with any questions or concerns about Faith Formation.
FAST & ABSTINENCE Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are obligatory days of fasting and abstinence for Catholics. In addition, Fridays during Lent are days of abstinence. This applies to those ages 18 through age 59. When fasting, a person is permitted to eat one full meal, as well as two smaller meals that together are not equal to a full meal. Abstinence from meat are binding on Catholics from age 14 onwards.
CRS Rice Bowl.is one way Catholics can enhance their Lenten fasting practice by giving up meals and donating the cost of those meals to Catholic Relief Services.. . . in order to help those who do not have enough to eat. Join our faith community in a life-changing Lenten journey of encounter with CRS Rice Bowl. Pick up your CRS Rice Bowl from the foyer this weekend. During the 40 days of Lent, as compan-ions on the journey, we will encounter our neighbor.
