is separate from the Lighthouse kiosk; hanging shelve near
the entrance of the nave.
Ash Wednesday is February 10th. Part of our Lenten tradition includes Stations of the Cross. This year, we will walk
the stations together after the 8:30AM mass on Fridays.
Mass on Ash Wednesday will be at 6PM. THERE WILL
NOT BE MASS AT 11:30 due to Father’s commitment at
Augustana. Father Anthony will be available for Reconciliation @5PM on Ash Wednesday. According to the Bishop’s Festival Letter: “Any Catholic in a state of serious sin is
obligated to approach the Sacrament of Reconciliation at
least once between Ash Wednesday and Pentecost Sunday.
All Catholics are especially urged to confess their sins during
the penitential season of Lent, during Advent, before the
great festivals, and regularly throughout the year.”
The following is a list of the County Line Services this Lent
and the speakers: You will notice a few changes in locations.
Services begin @ 7PM, refreshments to follow: 2/16 @ Illinois City/Pine Bluff UMC/ Beth Nelson, 2/23 @ Buffalo Prairie PC/ Harry Losey, 3/1 @ Eliza Community/ Marc Shefelton, 3/8 @ Edgington Presbyterian/ Bob Keller, 3/15 @ Antioch Baptist/ Zach Hopkins
Fast & Abstinence: If
you are age 18-59, Ash
Wednesday is a day of
fasting. Only one full
meal is allowed, two
small meals permitted,
but, combined can not
equal a meal. Juices
are permitted. (barring
medical conditions of
course) All Catholics
over the age of 14 should abstain from meat this day and all
Fridays during Lent. Same rules regarding fasting apply on
Good Friday.
Don’t Forget to Sign-up! DynamicCatholic.com/

Congratulations to the Second Grade CCD Class: Last
Saturday, the 2nd graders of our parish, took part in a Reconciliation Retreat. They are one step closer to receiving
this beautiful sacrament in February. Keep them in your
prayers as they continue to grow in faith. Note: April 24th is
their First Holy Communion.
Kindly review the Honey Dew list, still
much to accomplish. Also, we are looking
for those with talents and abilities to assist
with the bathroom project. Thank you!
Please remember in your prayers Greg Simon and his
family. Greg’s father passed away this week. Eternal rest
grant unto him O Lord.
Don’t Forget: No CCD next week, February 14th.
