First Sunday of Lent Sunday, February 14th, 2016
1st Sunday of Lent "The devil said to him... 'All this will be yours, if you worship me.'" Jesus faced temptation, like we all do. His forty-day fast in the desert wasn't full of supernatural consolation and delight. He was subject to "every temptation" and when the forty days were over, "he was hungry." In other words, he was human. Jesus' divine nature didn't cancel out his human nature. He faced struggles just like we do--both physical and spiritual--in his body and his soul.
As we see in today's Gospel, the strategy Jesus used to fight these physical and spiritual battles was to immerse himself in God's word. To silence the devil during this fast, Jesus quoted Scripture. He rooted himself in these eternal truths, relying upon them in his moments of trial. And these sacred words had a dramatic effect. Every time Satan tried to seduce him with a new promise, Je-sus responded with a Bible verse. And each time, Satan was silenced and had to try a new angle. Finally, when all the devilish angles had been tried, "the devil departed from him for a time." Jesus won the victory using the weapon of God's word.
As we enter into the season of Lent, we can be armed in the same way. We now embark upon a battle against our own pride, sloth, and greed as we commit to prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. Ultimately, we are working to put God first, instead of bowing down to our selfishness and our desire for comfort. The devil would like nothing more than to see us "worship" him in these ways. But, instead, let's be equipped to proclaim--and to live--the words Jesus himself used: "You shall worship the Lord, your God, and him alone shall you serve."
Hospitality Ministry Join us in welcoming our brothers and sisters back
home!
Our new ministry will focus on connecting all of our parishioners and visitors to the life of the church. Our mission is to continue fostering welcoming and loving relationships within our parish by greeting every person as we would greet Jesus himself. On Thursday February 25th at 7pm we will have our first meeting in the Church Hall. We encourage families and individuals alike to participate in this ministry together! For additional information please contact Wendy Ramirez at 603-882-4362 or by email at [email protected].

To mark this special time for our parish we have added banners and posters. May these serve as physical reminders of our journey to…

Guia para el Ayuno y Abstinencia en Cuaresma Abstinencia: La abstinencia es una práctica penitencial que consiste en abstenerse del consumo de carne. Dicha práctica debe ser observada por todos los católicos mayores de 14 años de edad. El Miércoles de Ceniza, el Viernes Santo, y todos los viernes de Cuaresma, se les pide a los padres de familia y a los párrocos que motiven a los niños, a quienes no les obliga el ayuno y la abstinencia, a que aprecien el verdadero sentido de la penitencia.
Ayuno: Además de la abstinencia, el ayuno también debe observarse por todos los católicos que tienen entre 18 a 59 años de edad. Se permite una comida completa en los días de ayuno: el Miércoles de Ceniza y el Viernes Santo. Asimismo, se pueden tener dos comidas pequeñas, suficientes para mantener las fuerzas, y que juntas no igualen alimentos sólidos entre comidas, sólo líquidos. Nota: para quien no pueda observar tales regulaciones debido a enfermedad u otras razones serias, se le exhorta a que practique otras formas de abstinencia de acuerdo a su situación.
Vía Crucis- Viernes Santo Invitamos a todos los hombres a participar en la representación del Vía Crucis que se realizará el Viernes Santo, 25 de marzo. Los ensayos serán en la parroquia los sábados después de la santa misa e inician el 13 de febrero. Para mayor información comuníquese con la Hna. Emma al (603) 882-0893

Nuestra Parroquia: Celebrando el Año de la Misericordia
El comienzo de ésta temporada de Cuaresma es momento de meditar como podemos continuar enriqueciéndonos nuestra fe durante éste Jubileo Extraordinario. Durante este Año de la Misericordia, la Iglesia Católica abre sus puertas a la misericordia salvadora de Cristo, quien da vida y gracia a la humanidad. Es un tiempo de perdón, reconciliación y conversión. Éste Año Santo comenzó el 8 de diciembre del 2015 y terminará el 20 de noviembre del 2016. Con el motivo de marcar ésta etapa especial para nuestra parroquia hemos añadido la insignia oficial de este Año de Misericordia a nuestra Iglesia. Esperamos que éstas sirvan como recordatorios físicos de nuestro camino a....
“...encontrar en éste Jubileo la alegría para redescubrir y hacer fecunda la misericordia de Dios, con la cual todos estamos llamados a dar consuelo a cada hombre y a cada mujer de nuestro tiempo” -Papa Francisco
