Second Sunday of Lent

Beloved Church Family,

This is the second week of Lent commonly known as

“Transfiguration Sunday”. In today’s Gospel, on the

high mountain, Jesus took with Him Peter, James and

John where He transfigured. As we continue with

our Lenten observances by focusing on prayer, fast-

ing and alms giving, we look forward to having our

own transfigured experience with Jesus. Throughout

this Lenten Season, at times we’re going to find our-

selves in places that can be considered as mountains

in our lives. Like Peter, James and John, we want to

contemplate the presence of Jesus and want Him to

stay with us.

. Throughout these 40 days, we are going to continue

to focus both individually and collectively on taking

up our Cross with Jesus by focusing on Prayer, Alms

Giving and Fasting. During this Lenten Season, we

will be challenged by being exposed to different

types of temptations. That is why we are going to

need Him to be with us throughout this Lenten Sea-

son.

Again, let us continue pray that this Lenten Season

may be a time of spiritual growth individually and

collectively as a parish, a time of renewal, and a time

of maturity when it comes to our relationship with

Jesus as we take the journey with Him on the road to

Calvary. I would like to continue remind you that the

Church has given us many tools and opportunities to

carry out our Lenten observances: constant prayers,

daily adorations and meditations, Scripture readings,

daily and weekend participation in the celebration of

the Eucharist, the Way of The Cross, Novenas, and

other spiritual activities.

May you have a week filled with blessings and may

you have a chance to catch the passing of Jesus as He

moves toward your way— Be on alert and watchful

because, Jesus was the same yesterday, today and

tomorrow.

Very Rev. Oswald P. Pierre-Jules, Jr., S.S. J., V.F

Meet The Staff of Our Church Family

Irene Young

Choir & Music Director

Irene has been the music director of the parish for 43

years, and she has been doing a remarkable job. As a

parish, we are grateful to her along with her loving

husband, Steven Young, Sr. for being so devoted and

committed to the parish. Irene works very well with

both youths and adults. Indeed, she is a gifted and tal-

ented woman, and we are blessed and fortunate to have

her as our music director. As of today, Irene is leading

the Ambassadors for Christ, the Adult Gospel and the

Youth Choirs. Moreover, she is one of the youth lead-

ers of the parish. We express our heartfelt gratitude to

both Irene and Steven for all that they have done and

continue to do at St. David Church.
