SIXTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
The Holy Season of Lent
A remainder during this Holy Season
that Ash Wednesday and Good Friday
are the days when adults (age 21 – 60)
abstain from meat and limit themselves to one full
meal a day. Of course, all Fridays of Lent are prescribed
meatless meals.
Lent begins this Wednesday with the distribution of Ashes
during the 8:30 AM
and 6:00 PM Masses. All are
encouraged to attend one of these Masses.
You will find several booklets on Lenten Reflections for
adults, young adults, and children located at the back of
church. All these booklets are free so please pick up one or
two to enhance your Lenten understanding and experience.
The Word Among Us - Prayer Fasting and Almsgiving
A Wondrous Love by Henri Nouwen & C.S. Lewis
Living Lent With Passion – Pope Francis
Lent – A Moving Experience by Jerry Welte
40 Windows for Lent – Activities for Lent & Holy Week
Let’s Follow Jesus – Thoughts, Activities, & Prayer
What We Do in Lent – Living Faith Kids … and
One Happy Easter Morning
Consider
walking
the
Via
Dolorosa with Jesus by attending
the Stations of the Cross which
will take place every Friday
evening of Lent in the church at
7:00 PM.
Benediction will immediately
follow Stations of the Cross.
First Lenten Fish Fry This Friday
The Lenten Season begins this Wednesday and while we all
know Lent is about self-control and sacrifice; it is good to
know we don’t have to sacrifice a good meal on Fridays! For
six weeks we can have a delicious fish dinner with all the
‘fixins’ prepared for us. Check out the menu insert in today’s
bulletin complete with prices. Put it on your fridge for easy
reference.
Fish Fry Desserts
We could use some help with our desserts for the fish fry
dinners. Our students’ parents provide desserts, but we have
been blessed enough in the last couple of years to have an
increase in the patronage of our fish frys. Therefore, we
could use some extra desserts for our dinners so that all
diners may enjoy a sweet ending to their meal. Desserts may
be taken to the school office Fridays or when you come to
the fish Fry Friday evenings. Thank you for your
consideration.
FEBRUARY 15, 2015
First Reconciliation Parent/Child Meeting
Parents of children, and the children, making their First
Reconciliation on March 7th, need to attend the meeting
this Sunday, February 22nd, 9:15 to 10:15 AM in the
school hall.
St. Joseph Cookbook is Here!
Our St. Joseph Family “Tried and True” Cookbook is now
available! They are $10.00 each. You don’t want to miss out
on getting these delicious recipes! All proceeds go towards
our St. Joseph 7/8th Grade trip to Washington DC this
spring. Thank you to all who sent in recipes, they are
fabulous! We will be selling after all masses in the upcoming
weeks. Contact Krissy Moore 330-603-7855 to buy one if
you miss us at the masses.
The Grotto Store has Lenten Items
Don’t forget our own Grotto Store has many items for the
Lenten Season. Perhaps a statue of the Pieta would do for
your home or a specific piece of literature is what you are
looking for. Of course, after Lent is Easter and the Store has
many items for Easter giving also. Stop in to the store and
see what is available for you. The Store will be open from
5:00 to 6:45 PM during the Fish Fry, or by appointment for a
specific time.
Catholic Education Scholarships
The Ohio Catholic Federal Credit Union is offering fifty
families in Ohio $1,000 each to assist in paying for their
student’s Catholic grade school or high school tuition for the
2015-2016 academic year. For Families wishing to find out

February is Catholic Press Month
The Catholic Exponent, first published on January 7, 1944,
about six months after the founding of the Diocese of
Youngstown, is the official newspaper of the Diocese of
Youngstown and an award-winning member of the Catholic
Press Association. We provide “a Catholic Window on the
World,” offering news, features and commentary at the
diocesan, national and international levels.. To instruct,
inform and unify the members of the Catholic Church in the
six counties of northeast Ohio. We seek a balance of local
news with the news of national and international scope. If
you are not currently receiving The Exponent and would like
to, please call the rectory at 330/628-9941.
“The Gospel is the real antidote to spiritual destitution:
wherever we go, we are called as Christians to proclaim the
liberating news that forgiveness for sins committed is
possible, that god is greater than our sinfulness, that he
freely loves us at all times and that we were made for
communion and eternal life. The Lord asks us to be joyous
heralds of this message of mercy and hope!”
Pope Francis - - Message for Lent 2014
