Your Only Son (Lamb of God)

Twila Paris

1. Your only Son, no sin to hide,

But you have sent him from your side To walk upon this guilty sod, And to become the Lamb of God. REFRAIN: Oh Lamb of God, sweet Lamb of God; I love the holy Lamb of God. Oh wash me in his precious blood My Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God.

2. Your gift of love they crucified, They laughed and scorned him as he died; The humble King they named a fraud, And sacrificed the Lamb of God. TO REFRAIN

3. I was so lost I should have died, But you have brought me to your side To be led by your staff and rod, And to be called a lamb of God. TO REFRAIN

JOURNEY TO BURKINA FASO

Care for God’s

Creation

God created every plant, every mountain-top, every animal—everything. And God said that these things are

good. We find God in these good things, and so we must take care of creation - for ourselves and for our entire

human family.

ENCOUNTER SAFIATA

The dry and dusty climate of Burkina Faso means farming can be difficult. It means water can be hard to come by. It means Safiata and her family often face

hunger. Even though she had two plots of land to farm, the many moths each year without rain made feeding her

9 children and 16 grandchildren a real challenge.

That’s why CRS is providing farmers, like Safiata, with more land to grow crops - like onions - that thrive in dry

climates. And thanks to a CRS sponsored irrigation system, she knows she’ll have access to water year

round. That means he crops will grow, and she’ll be able to sell some at the market. “I pay school fees thanks to selling the vegetables. The vegetables help solve the

problems my family faces,” Safiata says.

She is also preparing for the future. Together with others, Safiata is putting a little of the income she earns into a community savings pool. Those who contribute

can borrow money from the fund for emergencies, school fees for their children, or to build businesses.

A polluted river, poor soil, rising waters - these are some environmental reasons that force families to migrate.

They remind us to care for creation.

NEXT WEEKEND

Catholic Worker Bake Sale

Members of Saints Francis & Therese Catholic

Worker will be here on the weekend of

March 17 and 18, 2018 with their homemade

baked goods. The sale of their wholesome bread

and muffins, made with organic ingredients, is the

main source of income which supports their

ministries. They shelter homeless men and women,

and work for justice and peace. There is no set

price for the bread as they prefer to depend on your

generosity to carry on the works of mercy.

LOOKING FOR CATHOLIC PROGRAMMING

ON CHARTER TV?

Local Diocesan Programming is now on Charter

Channel 193; Boston’s Catholic TV is on

Channel 101, and EWTN is on Channel 18.

If you or someone you know has been sexually abused by a priest, religious or lay person working for the Church, and you need a place to talk about

your feelings of betrayal or hurt by the Church, call Judith Audette

Office for Healing and Prevention, (508) 929-4363.

A 24-hour-a-day confidential voicemail is available.

March 10 & 11, 2018 The Fourth Sunday of Lent

How about making a Cursillo weekend?

Cursillo or "short course in Christianity" is an uplifting and educational experience. Cursillo was

brought from Spain to the United States in 1962. The weekend is facilitated by a team of

laypeople and clergy who deliver organized talks and discussions. What the presenters add to the

talks is the witness of their own lives, their struggles and triumphs in Christ. The weekend is full of

laughter, prayer, great music, wonderful meals and so much more. Our 2018 dates are: Men’s -

February 22-25 & June 14-17; Women’s - May 3-6 & October 25-28. All weekends will be held at the

Immaculate Conception Spiritual Renewal Center in Putnam, CT. For additional information, please

contact Sue Leighton at 508-278-3155 or [email protected] OR

Joan Laracy at 774-239-2474 or [email protected].

Pernet Family Health Services

Dear Deacon Ron Buron,

We are writing to express our sincere thanks to you and the members of St. Brigid and Assumption Parishes for all your support to Pernet Family Health Service’s Holiday Giving Program.

Thanks to your church’s support we were able to serve over 360 families this year which is roughly 1,180 individuals in the Worcester County area! Many of our families continue to have tough times and difficulty finding the goods and services they need, especially during the holiday season. The contributions of kind-hearted donors like you bring much needed support to the people we serve.

There is no way to fully express our gratitude for your loyalty and your continued dedication to our agency during this time of year. The generous gifts we received from your parish go a long way in making our families holiday season brighter. We are continually inspired by the dedication and generosity of donors like yourself who answer the call to give because you believe as we do, in the dignity and worth of each individual.

Sincerely yours,

Sheilah Dooley Executive Director

WELCOME NEW CHRISTIANS
