Preparingfor LentAsh Wednesday MassMarch 68:00am, 12:00pm, 7:00pm

Ash Wednesday begins our season of Lent, our annual forty day retreat to growcloser to God through spiritualpractices of prayer, fast and almsgiving.

Many parishes and schools in our Archdiocese desire to do incredible ministry but simply can’t afford it. Instead, they use donationsto keep lights on, to make critical repairs, and to pay insurance for employees.Some of the poorest parishes and schools worry they may have to close their doors, a decision that would affect thousands in areas where hope is typically needed most.Thank you for your yes. You are telling a powerful story of hope. Your “yes” will empower parishes and schools in our Archdiocese to bring Christ boldly – no matter which community they call home.On behalf of the families, students, and communities you will bless, thank you.Visit www.padreserra.org/together-in-missionto begin.

The weekly collection, every week at each parish, belongs to the parishioners, not the pastor. Everypastor who is doing his job has to be very serious about how that money is spent. It has to be for theparishioners’ welfare. I am happy to say that, while I’m convinced we need to save more for future capital needs(painting, roofs, plumbing, etc.), the parish has always paid its debts in a very timely way, and that is due to yourgenerosity. I thank you!

So many pastors and parishes cannot say the same. In fact, sixtyfive parishes rely on outside assistanceto pay for their ordinary operations. An additional sixtythree schools also struggle financially. I can’t imaginewhat it’s like to be choosing between the ministries and activities to support, and which ones to let go, becausethere just isn’t enough…but there are many pastors who have to make those kinds of decisions every week.

Back when I was teaching fulltime in the seminary, I travelled quite a bit, throughout the United States,giving continuing education talks on the Scriptures to many groups of priests. One of the things that I discoveredis that many dioceses throughout the nation have big campaigns, like Together in Mission, but almost all of themaren’t for the poor parishes, but for the support of the chancery offices. I applaud the Archdiocese of LosAngeles for having a collection strictly for assisting our poor parishes. Let’s have it clear in our minds, these areour parishes. We belong to each other and share a common mission to bring people to an experience of Jesus andto become His disciples.

The Together in Mission collection enables the parishes and schools it helps to fix or replace roofs, paintwalls, and upgrade electrical systems. It buys school textbooks and classroom technology. It keeps the lights onand pays for employee insurance. It helps parishes with their ministry and education programs. It pays essentialsalaries. It provides security at Catholic schools in tough neighborhoods to keep children safe.

The cause is just and the need is great. There is a careful distribution of the money raised, and prudentmonitoring. In essence, it is money well spent. I can’t encourage you enough, please be supportive of thiscollection. You have done so much to ease my mind of great financial struggle.Can we do the same for others? Thank you!

Siempre adelante!
