Faith Formation / Religious Ed “Start being brave about everything. Drive out darkness and spread light. Don’t look at your weaknesses, realize

instead that in Christ you can do everything.” …St. Catherine of Siena

FIRST COMMUNION workshop Sunday, 4/7 at 1:00pm at the Center for parent and child. FIRST COMMUNION OFFERTORY GIFTS: Our tradition has been to include our children who are preparing to receive Eucharist to participate in the

Offertory. It’s a wonderful way to say to our

children and their families, that yes, we are a faith community, we belong to each other, we are the family of St. Francis. The first pew on the right side will be designated for them with a reserve sign. Please enjoy and delight in our First Communion children this weekend as they assist us in our celebration of worship: 4:30 Confirmation Mass – Conf. Candidates 8:30 Finella Chase & Henry Joss 10:45 Adeline Curtin, Kendall LaManche, Hannah Knox

5th Sunday of Lent

“Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”

- John 8:10 Today’s readings are filled, not only with examples of

God’s abundant mercy and love, but of right living. Paul reminds us that everything outside of the pursuit of

Christ is rubbish. And if we are to call ourselves followers of Christ, we must keep our focus on what lies

ahead. Let us begin by letting go of our judgments and our earthly desires so we may enter into this time with

our minds and hearts lifted completely to God. PENITENTIAL ACT

Lord Jesus, when we sin, you love us back into relationship: Lord, have mercy. Christ Jesus, when we judge others, you show us our own transgressions: Christ, have mercy. Lord, Jesus, when we cry out from the depths of our souls, you hear and answer us: Lord, have mercy.

SCRIPTURE READINGS Is 43:16-21 Remember not the events of the past; I am doing something new! Ps 126 The Lord has done great things for us; we are filled with joy Phil 3:8-14 Continue to pursue God’s upward calling Jn 8:1-11 Neither do I condemn you; go & sin no more

The Light is On for You (confession) Monday, April 15th 4:00PM – 7:00PM

No matter how long it's been since your last confession, God is waiting to welcome you back and

show you mercy!
