The Knights of Columbus are once again
praying the Patriotic Rosary. We plan to
make this a reoccurring event. Please join us after
the noon Mass, on Sunday the 28th of February.
If you didn't attend the last Patriotic Rosary you should make a
point to attend. It is the Rosary with added prayers for each
state and patriotic music and song. It is to honor the states and
for the consecration of our nation. We would like to invite
everyone to attend and pray this tribute with us.

Third Sunday of Lent
February 28, 2016
Ex 3:1-8a, 13-15
Ps 103:1-4,6-8,11
1 Cor 10:1-6, 10-12
Lk 13:1-9
Meditation: During Lent we
have a special opportunity to
take a close look at whether we
are living as disciples of Christ.
Traditionally, we concentrate
on those aspects of our lives
that are interfering with our
relationship with God. What
sins, addictions, or distractions
keep you from following Jesus?
What should you cut out of
your life so that you may bear
fruit? What are you to give up?
Another approach is to nurse
and cultivate those areas of our
lives that seem to be bearing
fruit already. How are you already following Jesus? Do you
feel close to him when you pray
but don't make much time for
it? Do you appreciate God's
presence in nature but hardly
ever go outside? Do you experience God's love when you
spend time with family but find
yourself spending more time
working instead? How can we
be more responsive to God?
Karla Manternach
Adult Question for Discussion:
What important work could
bear fruit in your life right now
if you have more confidence in
God’s loving care?
Children’s Question for
Discussion: What great work
would you like to do as you
grow older? What can you do
to begin now?

Dear Parish Family,
The Mardi Gras celebration on February 20 for the benefit of
our School Ministry was a huge success. $155,000 was
raised to invest in our school and help us maintain the
quality of Catholic education that has been a part of our
parish for the past 60 years. Thanks to everyone who
participated in this event. Your hard work, dedication, and generosity is greatly
appreciated.
This Sunday we are conducting our first ever Blessing Cup Meal for the children
who will be making their First Holy Communion in April. This is an opportunity
for prayer, food, fellowship, and also a time when the children will be able to
taste unconsecrated hosts and wine to acclimate them to the taste of these
items. I can tell you from past experiences the looks on their faces will be
priceless!
Next Saturday there will be a Seder Supper at the parish. This is an opportunity
to experience the Jewish roots of our Christian faith. Tickets are still available so
please contact the parish office if you would like to participate in this event.
A reminder that next Sunday at 2:00 I will be celebrating a special Mass for our
parish at the Cathedral in Indianapolis for the Jubilee Year of Mercy. This will be
an opportunity to pass through the Holy Door and visit the Mother Church of the
Archdiocese of Indianapolis. If you plan to attend please sign up at the
Information Desk in the narthex so we will know how to plan. This Mass will be
for the Fourth Sunday of Lent and will fulfill your Sunday obligation.
Please continue to pray for the men and women in the RCIA process who will be
received into the Church at the Easter Vigil Mass on March 26. Through the
sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist they will become fully
initiated members of the Catholic Church.
Many of our youth are currently in the Confirmation class and have been on or
soon will be on retreat. Please pray for them as they approach this important
sacramental point in their lives. They will be confirmed at the Cathedral on May
12. A special word of thanks to our adult leaders for working with the youth and
helping to deepen their faith.
God’s blessing be upon all of you.

February 28, 2016
Seder Meal,
March 5, 7 PM,
Shamrock Café
The Seder Meal is a
Jewish tradition that is
a fun yet solemn way to
gain more understanding of the beginnings of our faith. Its rituals are very
important to our faith and should be
experienced at least once in every
Christian's life, because Jesus took it very
seriously. It was at his "last Passover
Meal" ("Last Supper") that he instituted
the Sacrament of the Eucharist.
The Seder is a meal of remembrance and
thanksgiving, and our word "Eucharist"
comes from the Greek word for giving
thanks.
Tickets are $20; you can purchase online
at http://www.stmalachy.org/seder-mealregistration/ or stop by the parish office.
