ATTENTION MARRIED COUPLES: St. Catherine’s Church, 3252 Post Rd., Warwick, will be the host parish for “to Love and to Cherish”, a series offered by the Office of Life and Family.

are educational and helpful for the sacramental journey of marriage. The series will be held on Wednesdays from February 25th - March 25th from 7:00pm - 8:30pm. Please use the upper back entrance to the church. For more information please contact, Peter Magnotta at the Office of Life and Family Ministry at 421-7833 ext. 217.

A leper came to Jesus and kneeling

down begged him and said, "If you

wish, you can make me clean." Moved

with pity, he stretched out his hand,

touched him, and said to him, "I do

will it. Be made clean."

- Mk 1:40-41

Dear Parishioners,

I would like to alert you all to a presentation entitled “Pastoral Planning

Today: It’s Challenges and it’s Opportunities”. It will be presented by Mr. Mark

Mogilka, the Director of Stewardship and Pastoral Services of the Archdiocese of Green Bay. It will be held in the basement hall of SS. Peter & Paul Cathedral in

Providence on Monday, February 23 from 7:00-8:30 pm.

Our Diocese is offering the opportunity to begin to deal with a very real

challenge that we will be facing in the next few years. Over the next eight years

there are 21 projected ordinations to the priesthood. This is a great blessing however over the same period there will be 63 priests eligible to retire, (including

me). Clearly 21 priests will not be able to do what 63 are currently doing, some of

whom are already covering two parishes. The leadership of the Diocese realizes

that we need to think of new ways for priests and parishioners to collaborate and to

think differently about how parishes can work together with other parishes. The

biggest challenge is to look toward the future with enthusiasm and hope and not be overcome by discouragement. These newly ordained priests will need our support.

The challenge is to think of new ways to be parish and be Church.

I would encourage any parishioners in any leadership capacity in the parish

and any others who may be interested in the topic to attend.

Father Plante

ASH WEDNESDAY is February 18th.

The MASS SCHEDULE is as follows:

ST. CATHERINE’S: 9:00am and 6:00pm

ST. FRANCIS: 8:00am and 12:00noon

ASH WEDNESDAY IS A DAY OF FAST AND OF ABSTINENCE FROM MEAT

Father, help me to see this holy

season of Lent as a time of

spiritual renewal, rather than

a time of deprivation. Motivate

me to reach a new level of

experiencing your grace.
