STEWARDSHIP OF TREASURE
February 10 & 11
$19,804.54
(of this, $8,039 via Faith Direct)
We thank everyone from St. Helen Parish who
has participated in the 2018 Catholic Ministries
Appeal. Our pledges let us impact the stories of
thousands through six important Catholic ministries
right here in our archdiocese.
If you have not yet completed your form,
please do so at your earliest convenience! These vital
ministries supply basic and essential needs that many
of us never have to worry about, so thank you for
whatever you can share with those whose lives have
different challenges than our own.
OUR LENTEN “TAKE-HOME” In addition to copies of the
“Little Black Book” and many other
resources which will be available at
the doors of church beginning
Ash Wednesday, we are offering a St.
Benedict Medal.
As we walk our own journeys
and listen to the readings this Lenten season and hear
of Jesus’s temptation in the desert and God’s cove-
nant with us, let us hold on to this medal, which “is a
prayer of exorcism against Satan, a prayer for
strength in time of temptation, a prayer for peace
among ourselves and among the nations of the world,
a prayer that the Cross of Christ be our light and
guide, a prayer of firm rejection of all that is evil, a
prayer of petition that we may with Christian courage
‘walk in God's ways, with the Gospel as our
guide,’ ” as St. Benedict urges us.

SACRAMENT OF ANOINTING WILL BE
OFFERED DURING THE 5:00 PM MASS
ON SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24 The Sacrament of the Sick is intended for
those whose health of body, mind and spirit is

need, you are invited to be anointed as we celebrate
this act of God's grace as a community of Christian
believers. Anyone wishing to be anointed is
encouraged to sit toward the front or along the center
aisle so Father can anoint you.

THE LIGHT IS ON FOR YOU –
ENCOUNTER THE PEACE OF CHRIST
DURING THE SEASON OF LENT This Lent, the Archdiocese of Cincinnati will
once again engage in the initiative, The Light Is On
For You. On Tuesday, February 27 from 7:00pm –
9:00pm most Catholic parishes/pastoral regions, in-
cluding St. Helen, will open their doors and provide
the opportunity for private confession. If you have
been reluctant to participate in the Sacrament of Rec-
onciliation, have been away from the Church for
some time, or just find it difficult to get to a regularly
scheduled confession time or communal penance ser-
vice, this is a your chance to experience the reconcil-
ing peace of Christ through the grace of the Sacra-
ment. No stress, just peace! Learn more
at www.EncounterPeace.org.

hoops with other men of the
parish? Want to get a little ex-
