See ya at 5pm on Saturday or 9:30am on Sunday!!! We’d love to have you in the room!!!

This weekend's Gospel, once again, is a message for our times. In it Jesus struggles with the weight of the world's suffering, and the heaviness of his heart. Homilist Rev. Celie Katovitch reflects: when we feel likewise, can we find -- as he did -- that God shows up in unexpected ways?

Saturday, 5 pm Mass at Spiritus: in-person
Sunday, 7:30 am Mass at Spiritus: in-person
Sunday, 9:30 am Mass at Hochstein: in-person and livestream

All Masses wheelchair accessible; hearing loop available

Hello and Happy Monday!
I received an email today that is in such alignment with the Lenten Season as it represents both a weight that is on our collective consciousness and our light that still shines no matter the circumstances.

I hope that our ministry can show up with our hands and hearts to help the people of Ukraine at this volunteer event happening tomorrow evening 3/8/22 . To volunteer send a DM and we will get you the details!

Happy Ash Wednesday!
Today marks the beginning of a 40 day retreat with Jesus. Love and Peace to you all as we enter this 40 day retreat and the special guest is YOU. This is a special time to release and reset in our spiritual journeys and I am excited for these 40 days personally and in our community together.

We have a few special events this month including a Service Day on 3/19/022 and A zoom session called A Time To Pray on 3/22/22 at 6:30pm. These with our Adult Enrichment activities will provide a wonderful accompaniment to these 40 days of prayer.

I look forward to deepening our connection in this Lenten Season and invite you to volunteer and spend time with the young adult ministry! I'd love to share this time with you!
Love, Kristen
