Pastor’s Message,
Lent is the time to be reconciled to God and to others
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
This bulletin is a reminder of the holy season of Lent that begins with Ash Wednesday on Feb-ruary 17. Lent is a yearly gift from God that enables us to renew our lives and return to what is truly essential. It is an opportunity to remember who we are: poor sinners loved by God and redeemed by Christ. If we enter into the spirit of Lent with a serious intention, we will receive many opportunities to grow in our relationship with God. Our Lord comes to us with a message of love and forgiveness. It is up to us to respond with gratitude, showing our appre-
ciation by turning back to God’s will for our lives.
Turning away from sin is not easy. It takes real effort, supported by God’s grace. Our Lord knows that we need all the help we can get. Christ established the Sacrament of Reconcilia-tion on the day of his resurrection (John 20:22-23) to provide the supernatural power that our weak human nature needs to overcome sin. Those who avail themselves of this holy sac-rament can testify to the difference it makes in their lives. As a loving mother instructs her children in the ways that will lead them to success in life, so the Church requires that all her members receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation at LEAST once a year. The period of Lent and Holy Week is clearly the most important time of the year to be reconciled to God and to
others. Please make that your priority in this holy season.
Fasting and other forms of penance are also helpful in our goal of reconciliation. The Church requires that Catholics over 14 years of age abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday and all Fri-days of Lent. Those over 18 and under 59 are required to observe a strict fast on two days – Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. This means only one full meal in the day (without meat). Health problems excuse one from this obligation. Fasting reminds us that we do not live by bread alone, but “by every word that comes from the mouth of God” (Matthew 4:4). Fasting also strengthens our will to overcome temptations and choose God’s will. Giving up some of the things we like can also make us more aware of those who do not have all that we have.
Lent is the season for being charitable towards those in need.
As Lent approaches, the Ministries of the Arab community at St. Joseph Church / Pomona
would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very holy season that bears good fruit in
our families and in our church.
Fr. Rick Van De Water
The Pastor 3

What is the Census?
The U.S. Census counts every resident in the United States, and is required by the Constitution to take place every
10 years.
The 2010 Census will help communities receive more than $400 billion in federal funds each year for
things like: Hospitals, Job training, centers, Schools, Senior centers, Bridges, tunnels and other-
public works projects, Emergency services
The data collected by the census also help determine the number of seats your state has in the U.S. House of Rep-
resentatives. We can't move forward until you mail it back.
Any personal data you provide is protected under federal law. We need to remember that Census is Easy Safe and
Confidential
It’s EASY : in just 10 minutes you can make a difference. One of the shortest census forms in history, the 2010
census form asks 10 questions and takes about 10 minutes to complete.
It’s IMPORTANT: The 2010 Census is a historic event that will help shape our nation’s future for the next 10 years. With accurate census data, we can create a portrait of our nation’s growing population and determine what’s
needed to better provide for everyone.
It’s SAFE: by law the Census Bureau cannot share your answers with anyone, including other federal agencies and
law enforcement entities.;
Completing the 2010 Census form will shape the future for you, your community and the country.
