HOLY FAMILY STEWARDSHIP COMMITTEE invites you to a

SPRING EASTER BREAKFAST

Hop on in and enjoy a wonderful breakfast on Sunday, April 7th from 9:00 - 11:30. Adults: $7 Children: $3. 5 and under: free! Menu: eggs, home fries, bacon, sausage, pan-cakes donuts, coffee, milk and juice. Bring the kiddos~~the Easter Bunny will be there. Meet you for breakfast!!

I Must Go Over to Look at This Remarkable Sight – In today’s first reading, Moses, while tending the

flocks of his father-in-law, happens upon a bush which is burning, but which is not consumed. Moses’ reaction is to “go over to look at this remarkable sight, which he does. However, the Lord, in speaking from the burning bush, wants him to do more

than look. Instead, God reveals himself to Moses and calls Moses to lead His people out of slavery in Egypt. While Moses has some reservations, he says yes to God and works to lead his people to freedom. Like Moses, the Lord wants us to do more than look at Him or at His Church. The Lord wants us to be engaged with Him. Faith is not a passive en-deavor. Faith is an active engagement with God in the com-munity of the Church. It is easy to look at the Church and say, “I like this” or, “I do not like that” and then do nothing about it. It takes effort to get involved to be an instrument of Jesus’ life in the Church. As we continue our Lenten journey may we be renewed not only to see God better, but to em-brace most fully his will.

Fish Fry x 2 Support Our Churches

Both St. Cecilia and Ss Peter and Paul will host Fish Fries during Lent. Cecilia hours are 11-7 and Peter and Paul’s hours are 3-7. Both offer a delicious meal to satisfy your Lenten fast. Come and enjoy good

food and good company, and help support your Church. Take out is available at both locations. Hope to see you there!!

We have many friends and family who, for one reason or another, can not make it to Mass. Some due to illness, some due to lack of transportation, some due to a temporary medical situation, and others are just unable leave their home. We miss seeing

all of them at Mass. This week we pray especially for Mary Rowan. Mary lives in Hoffman Estates, IL. We don’t have an exact address, but Mary was an active member of our par-ish for many years. Please keep her in your prayers. Also, if you or someone you know would like a communion visit from a Eucharistic Minister, please call the parish office and we will get you on the schedule.

CONTEMPLATING CHRIST WITH MARY

Good Samaritan Parish, 725 Glenwood Ave., Ambridge, PA 15003, hosts every Friday night a Marian-Medjugorje gathering. Please join us for a beautiful evening of Eucharistic Adoration, Rosary, Confession, Benediction and Holy Mass beginning at 7 p.m. Prayers will be offered for Peace, for the Church,and for the Family as well as for all your intentions.

PRAYER WORKS!! If you go to St. Cecilia’s for fish on Friday, why not plan to spend some time with the Lord either before or after you have your dinner. The Church will have adoration of the Blessed Sacrament from 11 AM until 7 PM every Friday of Lent. Our society and our world desperately needs your/our prayers. See you

in church!

Dear Parishioners,

Several weeks back, Fr. Paul and I attended a pres-entation on safety for churches. While the information was very good, it presents some unique challenges for Catholic churches and how we gather to worship God. We are won-dering if there is anyone who shares these safety concerns and might be willing to help develop some strategies and procedures for all four of our churches. Call me, if inter-ested. Also looking far ahead, Sunday, September 1 will be OUR Parish Picnic, a four parish picnic, at Brady’s Run Park. Details will follow but mark your calendars. Week three of Lent starts today. If you find your-self stumbling in your Lenten resolutions, don’t give up. Re-member Jesus fell on His way to Calvary. Ask for His strength and compassion. Pick yourself up and keep going. Stations of the Cross are a powerful Lenten prayer. We have lots of opportunities: 4:00 p.m. at Saints Peter and Paul, Beaver; 6:30 p.m. at Holy Family, New Brighton; 7:30 p.m. at St. Cecilia, Rochester and St. Felix, Freedom. There is also a children’s version at Saints Peter and Paul at 2:00 p.m. (School children are the leaders). I am happy to share with you that we have hired a Facilities Manager for our four parishes. Bruce Whipple is his name. He has an extensive background in construction and maintenance. He is also certified as a teacher and has been doing substitute work. Bruce and his wife live outside of Freedom. He will be starting as soon as his clearances and papers are in order. We owe thanks to the interviewing team: Bill Anzalone, Rob Dunbar, Al Gallo, Fr. Paul and Ethan Russell. CONFESSIONS THIS WEEK: Wednesday – March 27 @ St. Cecilia, 6:00-6:45 pm; Saturday – March 30 @ Saints Peter and Paul @ 12 noon; St. Felix @ 12:00 noon and Holy Family @3:00 p.m.

God Bless, Fr. Bob
