The Knights of Columbus would like to thank the parishioners of St. Francis & St. Clare

Parish for their amazing generosity for Souper Bowl Sunday. We donated a large grocery

cart of soup and other food products with about $800 in cash to the House of Concern.

We also donated 14 bags of soup and other food with about $600 to the Community

Action Program (CAP). May all of you be blessed with peace and friendship!

Lent Meditation Booklets "Through prayer, charity and humility before God, people receive a heart "which is firm and merciful, attentive and generous, a heart which is not closed, indifferent or prey to the globalization of indifference," Pope Francis says in his Lenten message. Prayer is an important part of the Lenten journey. To that end, there are Lenten Meditation Booklets at each of our churches which I encourage you to take a look at.

Stations of the Cross Paul Turner

The 14 Stations of the Cross adorn the walls of almost every Catholic Church and chapel. Many parishes commemorate the Fridays of Lent with a prayerful remembrance of the passion of Christ by walking the stations with him. Throughout our history, Christians have longed to literally walk in the footsteps of Christ. The shrines of the holy places in and around Jerusalem have drawn pilgrims inspired by the life and death of their master. However, not everyone is able to travel to the Holy Land. So, ever since the Middle Ages, churches and chapels began erecting images devoted to an aspect of the passion. By the 15th century, the Franciscans had developed a devotion they called “stations.” The word means a place where people stand still or gather together. So even though it implies something “stationary,” the service obviously must include the movement of pilgrims following the footsteps of Christ. It took a while to fix the number and the names of the stations, but in 1731 Pope Clement XII established the 14 we know today. We still find some variations on the number. Many places add a 15th station, for example, the resurrection of Jesus. Discontent with leaving Christ in the tomb when our faith expresses so much more, worshipers have found consolation in completing the story of the cross. Over the years our church has authorized various versions of the stations for different occasions. For example, Pope John Paul II altered the traditional stations for his Good Friday service in Rome. He eliminated some stations that derived from tradition, and substituted them with events from the Gospels. Here are the stations he used: 1. Jesus in the Garden of Olives; 2. Jesus betrayed by Judas; 3. Jesus condemned to death by the Sanhedrin; 4. Jesus denied by Peter; 5. Jesus judged by Pilate; 6. Jesus flogged and crowned with thorns; 7. Jesus carries his cross; 8. Jesus is helped by Simon of Cyrene; 9. Jesus encounters women of Jerusalem; 10. Jesus is crucified; 11. Jesus promises the kingdom to the good thief; 12. Jesus on the cross; 13. The mother of Jesus and his disciple at the cross; 14. Jesus is placed in the tomb. The stations inspire us all to follow Christ through suffering to peace.

desire to give to the parish community with just a little of your time, please call the Faith Formation Office, Pam Kane 651-4351 or [email protected] The production will be Friday April 7th.

If you can donate any of these items, please email me at [email protected]

STEWARDSHIP CORNER 1st Sunday of Lent “It is written: The Lord, your God, shall you worship and him alone shall you serve.”

MATTHEW 4:10

Tempted between the riches and power of this world and service to God, Jesus chose service to His Father. If we wish to truly follow Jesus, we, too, must decide to turn away from power and riches and put God at the center of our lives. How is God calling you to serve?

From Family Hope Center’s most recent newsletter…”Last fall Care Net Pregnancy of the Finger Lakes changed their name to Family Hope Center. The name was client suggested based on what we offer to them….Hope. As a Care Net affiliate we follow the tagline “Compassion, Hope & Help”. We pray our hope is contagious and our clients will walk out the door feeling hopeful, but we know this does not always happen. As a faith based ministry we walk in Faith as we minister to those we serve. We hope

our faith will be encouraging to them and will speak into their lives. We may never know how far reaching our faith goes, but we trust God. One thing we do know is our clients respond to Love. They come in when they need to feel loved. They come in when they need a quiet place to chill. They come in when they feel overwhelmed and need to talk. They tell us they come here because WE Love THEM. Because, the greatest of these is Love.” THANKS TO ALL WHO DONATED TO THIS YEAR’S ST. FRANCIS-ST. CLARE’S BABY BOTTLE DRIVE!! God’s peace be with you.
