Making Lent Count
Here are some suggestions as we enter the season of Lent:
Read the Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Taking time each day for scriptural reading helps us prepare for the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Christ.
Fast one day a week. Denial gives us perspective on what is important in our lives.
Consider a good Confession. Come to Sinfest! The sacrament of reconciliation is available on Saturdays from 3-4 pm. “Sinfest”, our evening of Lenten confessions, will be held Tuesday, April 15that 7pm. Twelve to 15 priests are available to administer the sacrament. It is a great way to prepare for Easter.
Forgive someone. We all have people that have hurt us, and we have hurt others. Being able to forgive is a healing for everyone.
Write a note to someone. The written word is being a lost art. Taking the time to write to someone is a gift to them.
Call someone from the past. Too often, we lose touch with people. Hearing a familiar voice is so uplifting.
Give a big tip! If you are at a restaurant or someone does a service for you, It is always nice to be generous.
Immaculate's date is Wednesday, March 19th.

Baptism Suppers
Our newest members of the parish are celebrated at the monthly Baptism Suppers at the rectory. For families who have not attended a Baptism class, our priests host a dinner where they can answer the questions of the new parents and get to know them before the baptism of the baby. A 'presenting couple' is also there to add their experiences to the evening.
We are always looking for volunteer presenting couples. For more information contact the office: icr604west@gmail.com.
