Shoutout to all the moms in the thick of it today! The ones that need to figure out dinner, deal with attitudes, and clean up other people's messes.

Maybe you're doing it all with a grateful, loving heart, but I get you if you're doing it with a little bit of bitterness. Any time you're feeling annoyed with a family member, say a quick hail Mary for them. She will help you to serve with love!

Sneak peak at one of this week's Family Faith Night crafts. Can you guess the theme?

Happy Mother's Day!

New book alert! Join us for the 2nd Sunday of Lent and check out all the things:

-Lent passports with this weekend's stamps.

-My First Examen board book in our refreshed kid's bookshelf.

-Kids' Christian fiction on the basement bookshelf. We have the 7 deadly dragons series, where Rolland fights each of the deadly sins. It's awesome.

-Teen books on the basement bookshelf too. Something for everyone!

See you in the Eucharist!!

Last minute idea for the kids for Lent:

All you need is a bag of beans and a jar. They put a bean in the jar whenever they make a sacrifice, and on Easter morning, you switch them out for jellybeans!

Lent passports are in the back of church! Each kid (and kid at heart) can pick one and bring it with them whenever they come to church so they can fill it with stamps! New stamps/colors will be set out each time they join us for Liturgy.

Don't forget a rice bowl and Lent Bingo. All youth will be invited to carry their rice bowls to the altar during the offerotry on Palm Sunday. Happy Lent!

Thank you so much to everyone who came to the soup supper benefit, everyone who gave so generously, and everyone who’s been praying for us- and keeps on praying. This experience has been so incredibly humbling and powerful, and I feel so loved.

The first thing I saw when I walked in the door last night was a group of teens who chose to spend their night off supporting us instead of staying home. Next were the overflowing tables of parishioners and so many people offering prayers and encouragement. I was amazed and speechless. I still can’t find adequate words to convey how grateful I am for all of you.

I’m always asking the kids, “Where do you see God working in your life?” Well, in everything that’s been going on, I have seen God working in a big way through all of you. You are truly the hands and feet of Christ. So many of you have told me you’re praying for us, have prayed over me and with me, offered Masses, and checked in to see what we need.

You guys showed up for me and my family in a really big way, and you have been such a powerful witness. I’m so grateful for you and humbled by all of you. Thank you all so much for your support and your continued prayers!

With love,

Leah
