Hello Friend,

As we step into the season of Lent, we begin a sacred journey together; a Forty Day Pilgrimage of prayer, fasting and almsgiving. This is a time for us to quiet the noise of the world and refocus our hearts on Christ. To support us on this path, St. Scholastica has a variety of resources designed to deepen our faith. From the communal devotion of the Stations of the Cross, to the healing grace of Reconciliation. Additionally, the CCW is leading a Lenten Adoration to offer a sacred space to connect deeply with Jesus in the silence of His presence. Together this spiritual nourishment will prepare our hearts to arrive at the joy of the Resurrection with a renewed spirit.

May God grant you your prayers and desires this week and beyond. Please let the parish staff know how we can serve you!

God Bless ~ Frs. Mark & Juan Jose, and your Parish 

For the past few months, J.O.Y. Scripture Group has enjoyed watching and discussing, The Chosen after they beak Open the Word at 10 a.m. Beginning February 20th, the group will pivot to a new study: No Greater Love with Dr. Edward Sri. Each meeting will cover two video sessions, beginning at 12:15pm and concluding around 1:30 pm. Come join us as we journey through this powerful series together!

Session 1 – THE PRAYER OF AGONY. 30:26

Session 2 – ARE YOU THE CHRIST? 28:10

Session 3 – THE TRAIL BEFORE PILOT. 27:40

Session 4 – THE DEATH OF THE MESSIAH. 34:04

Session 5 – THE SEVEN LAST WORDS. 32:58

There is a bonus video – THE RESURRECTION. 36:27. We would view this just after Easter.

Celebrate the cultural diversity of our parish by preparing your favorite ethnic dish for our March 8 Hospitality Sunday. This is a great way to connect with parishioners from various ethnic backgrounds.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us for our vibrant Paczki celebration! It was a joy to share in fellowship before transition into the solemnity of our Ash Wednesday services. As we begin this Lenten journey together, may we carry that spirit of Community into our days of prayer, fasting and reflection.
