| Dear Parishioners We begin to celebrate the season of lent on February 22nd. “Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, and untoto dust you shall return” or “repent and believe in the gospel” are the solemn words the priest, deacon, or Eucharistic Minister uses in administering the ashes in Mass. As I always say every year, NO DRIVE THRU!! During the season of Lent, we switch over from hearing of the story of the birth of our Lord, to the stories of his public ministry on earth; leading up to Holy Week when we celebrate the life, death, and resurrection of our Lord. It is also referred to as the penitential season; a time of fasting, prayer, and almsgiving as we journey to a deeper relationship with God. Let us remember Fr. Anthony Palmese, my first pastor in the US, as we pray Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord. Let the perpetual light shine upon him, may his soul and all the souls of the faithfully departed, through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen. Fr. David Vivero |
