WELCOMING YOU HOME
Beginning next Thursday, March 13, Fr. Tony Ciorra will present a four-part series for Theology Thursday on the Person of Jesus. This Lenten program will discuss how we can rediscover our own humanity by examining the humanity and divinity of Jesus. Join us on Thursdays, beginning March 13, at 6:30pm in the Parish Center.
Stations of the Cross are celebrated during the Fridays of Lent following the 12 noon mass.
Rev. Peter Pearson returns to lead us in another wonderful week of prayerful painting in an icon painting workshop! No experience or artistic skill required – our excellent teacher will guide us through each step as we each create our own copy of this Christ the Gardener icon.

Please commit to all five evenings so you will be able to complete your icon. $250 fee includes all materials and expert instruction. Payment due before the first session -- register here!
Centering Prayer is a Christian contemplative practice popularized by the Trappists in the 1970s but based
on a 15th century treatise on prayer called "The Cloud of Unknowing"; Fr. Michael Holleran will be
establishing a weekly Centering Prayer group in the parish chapel on Wednesday evenings. Everyone is welcome! The first sessions will include beginner instruction for those new to this type of prayer and will conclude around 8:15. For more information about Centering Prayer, please visit www.contemplativeoutreach.org.
