FAITH FORMATION

SSgt. Thomas R. BuenaLCDR, SWO Brian GrahamCdr. Paul HughesPVT Timothy B. McNabb Darren Brandt, Jr. ArmySgt. Tyler ClaunchLt. Col. Benjamin Mitchell

Confirmation: Do I have what it takes? A soldier is prepared for battle – years of training, hours honing skills, times of discomfort, these moments make the soldier ready so that when conflict arises, it does not slow the soldier down. Preparation is key. In much the same way, we need to train and prepare ourselves for the struggles we find in life. In this way, we train ourselves in Virtue so that when confronted with difficulty, we are able to tuck our heads in prayer and enter the fray unafraid.

Elevate: The Saints: We are surrounded by the saints – a cloud of witnesses who have struggled mightily in life so that they can serve God and spend eternity with our Lord. Even now, those saints cheer us on in our difficulties. Their prayers before the throne, a deafening roar, call us onward in service. Come join us and learn about the saints of the church and how we can better follow their example. Elevate meets Sundays, 3:00-4:30 p.m

Summit: Is the Holy Spirit Really a Person? It’s easy to think of the Holy Spirit as some sort of vague “essence” floating around somewhere, doing things that we can’t see or find hard to comprehend. In this study, we’ll look closely at the real Holy Spirit – a Person as real as the Father and the Son – with whom we are meant to have a relationship. But what does that relationship look like, and what does it mean in a teen’s journey as a disciple?

We Are Living Tabernacles – A Retreat at Damascus: High School Winter Retreat February 23-25 – Registration is still open for the High School Winter Retreat! Join us at Damascus Catholic Mission Campus for a weekend encounter with our

Lord. We will gather for fun games, rowdy fellowship, great talks, a dance party, and a deepening of our relationship with Jesus Christ. You are a Living Tabernacle – called to carry His presence with you wherever you go. He relentlessly calls each of us closer to Him – will you answer his call? Registration forms can be found at the back of Church. Forms are due NOW! – Contact Ed Watson for more details.

First Sunday of Lent

LENTEN ACTIVITIES CONTINUED40 Days, 40 Cans: A Can-A-Day for Lent: As we prepare for Easter and the resurrection of the Lord, consider making a sacrifice for the hungry of our community. The St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry is sponsoring a “40 Days, 40 Cans” campaign. Each family is asked to donate 40 cans to the pantry as their “works of love” during Lent. The pantry is in need of canned fruit, beans, soup, spaghetti sauce, skillet dinners and personal items (toilet paper, toothpaste, laundry detergent). Families may also make a monetary donation to the pantry by placing a check in the offering, listing the food pantry in the memo section of the check.

Deposit foods in the cart at the main entrance to St. Francis de Sales Church.Thanks for thinking of the pantry during this most holy season.

“Listen to Catholic Radio AM 820 this Lent! Try something new during Lent and consider listening to Catholic Radio AM 820; it is a good way to deepen your knowledge and love of the Catholic faith.”

Your willingness to give is inspiring. Thank you!Giving Tree Ministry.

The ROSARY…plus Saints and the Subject of Sacrifice…

We look on Lent as a special time of Prayer, Penance, SACRIFICE and good works as we prepare for the celebration of Easter. More than anything, Lent is a time for internal renewal. Our beloved Mother Teresa was a giant when it came to sharing her view on a subject in a clear way that everyone would understand. Quote: “You must give what will cost you something. This is giving not just what you can live without, but what you can’t live without, or don’t want to live without… something you really like. Then your sacrifice becomes a gift, which will have great value before God. This giving until it hurts…this sacrifice, is what I call LOVE IN ACTION.” Another clear speaker was Saint Padre Pio…he said it this way: “The greatest act of faith is that which rises to your lips in total darkness, together with the sacrifices, sufferings and wholehearted efforts of a determined will to do good. THIS ACT OF FAITH STRIKES THROUGH THE DARKNESS OF YOUR SOUL LIKE A BOLT OF LIGHTNING…IT RAISES YOU UP AND LEADS YOU TO GOD.”

Remember, you and your family are always invited to take part in our weekly Rosary for Peace, every Saturday at 4:35 p.m., just before Mass.

St. Francis de Sales Roman Catholic Church February 18, 2018

IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD

An open letter to the men of St. Francis de Sales ParishAre you feeling called to do more?We at St. Vincent Haven are looking for about 30 MEN – strong Christian men. We need men who don’t wince in the face of sacrifice or hard work. We need men who don’t place their lamp under a lamp stand, but rather let it shine (Matthew 5:15). Our society today is greatly deprived of loving, sacrificial, manly men. We want to model the Christian virtue of “manliness” to our men at St. Vincent Haven.

What? We want these men to act as mentors, one on one, to the residents at our shelter, St. Vincent Haven, during the duration of their stay with us. Mentors would be assigned to only one resident at a time.

Expectations? Manly mentors would meet their “mentee” by phone or in person once weekly. They could meet at our shelter or McDonalds; go bowling, do a small job together, or volunteer somewhere. The point is to model the “manly,” God first, family-centered Christian life to them, simply by spending time together.

What’s next? Please send an email to [email protected] with times that you may be available for a phone call.

May we be Christ to all and see Christ in all!Luceat Lux Vestra,John Paul Munhall, Executive Director, St. Vincent Haven
