FAMILY FAITH MOMENTS

In this first full week of Lent, we look at the Lenten tradition of prayer. For many of us, we have special times of

prayer. But the Bible calls us to “never cease praying” (1Thes 5:17). Prayer is an expression of our relationship with

God and the world around us. It might be praying the rosary, quiet meditation, reading scripture, but it might also

be appreciating a work of art, watching a sunrise, feeding birds in winter, or enjoying our children at play. When

we see all of life as a prayer, then prayer will be as much a part of our life as breathing. Lent offers us a special

time to reexamine our prayer life.

Passing along the traditions of the Church to the next generation. This Sunday’s Gospel tells us that Jesus went to

the desert where he prayed and fasted for 40 days. Develop a “desert place” in your home. Choose a place

where the family or individuals can go to pray, think, or read in total quiet and privacy. On a small table, place a

Bible (and a children’s Bible) on a purple cloth. Add a candle, and cross and whatever makes the space more

conducive to prayerfulness for your family. Perhaps a resolution for this week could be that each family member

spends at least ten minutes a day alone in the prayer space.

FAITH FORMATION

Come and learn the stories and details behind the Biblical stories which you have heard all

your lives. We will be examining the Acts of the Apostles, which is filled with many stories

that we are all familiar with. BUT, each of those stories has details and “stories behind the

stories.” These sessions will add to your love and understanding of Scripture.

We all remember the story of Saul’s (St. Paul) conversion as he was on his way to

Damascus to arrest and persecute the Christians living there. We should all recall how Saul

was blinded and knocked to the ground and how Jesus spoke to him: “Saul, Saul, why are

you persecuting me?” The temporarily-blinded Saul was led into Damascus and in a few days he regained his

sight. He converted to Christianity and eventually became the greatest missionary in Church history. There is much

more about that story…

Why would Saul travel 150 miles from Jerusalem to Damascus to arrest Christians? There were thousands of

Christians much closer to Jerusalem.

How did the Dead Sea Scrolls relate to Saul’s conversion?

What was our religion called before it was called Christianity?

Why did Paul spend two years in Arabia after his conversion?

Sessions are held on Wednesday at 10:00 am (beginning February 28) or on Thursday at 7:00 pm (beginning on

March 1). All sessions will be held in the Ries Center at St. Peter and last 75 minutes. There is no cost, no registration.

Simply show up. Better yet, bring a friend! This is a wonderful opportunity to evangelize by inviting someone to

come to these sessions. If you have any questions, please call Joe Hand at 329-0912.

STATIONS of the CROSS

In February and March during Lent, Stations of the Cross will be held on Tuesdays at 9:00 am at St. Peter Church

and at 7:00 pm at Holy Cross Church. And Stations of the Cross will also be held on Fridays at 7:00 pm at St. Peter

Church.

ST. PETER RINGERS

The St. Peter’s Ringers are looking for additional hand bell players to provide music

for Easter Sunday. The ability to read music is not required but preferred. Previous

experience is not required. Please contact Andrew Larochelle, Music Director, at

233-1503 or through email at [email protected] for more information.

Performance on Easter Sunday, April 1, at the 9:00 am Mass;

Dress Rehearsal during Holy Week with day and time to be determined;

Rehearsals on Wednesdays at 7:00 pm at St. Peter Church;

First rehearsal is February 28.

LENTEN DINNER and MOVIE SERIES

This Lent we will be hosting three

installments of DINNER (6:00 pm)

and a MOVIE (beginning at 7:00

pm). The first night will be on

Sunday, February 18, in the Ries

Center; no RSVP required. The

movie, “Little Boy”, is the story of

an eight-year-old boy willing to do whatever it takes to

end World War II so he can bring his father home. The

story reveals the indescribable love a father has for his

little boy and the love a son has for his father.

The second dinner and movie night is

Sunday, March 11. The featured movie

will be “The Human Experience”, the

story of a band of brothers who travel

the world in search of the answers to the

burning questions: Who am I? Who is

Man? Why do we search for meaning?

Their journey brings them into the middle of the lives of

the homeless on the streets of New York City, the

orphans and disabled children of Peru, and the

abandoned lepers in the forests of Ghana, Africa. What

the young men discover changes them forever.

The third movie is on Wednesday, March 21, and will be

held at the KROC Center in Dayton.

Lent is a time of encounter. It is a season to reflect on our

relationship with ourselves, our neighbors, and our God. It is a

time of preparation and transformation, not only providing us

with an opportunity to deepen and enrich our faith as a family

and Catholic community, but also to support our brothers and

sisters most in need around the world. Join our faith community-

and nearly 14,000 Catholic communities across the United States

in a life-changing Lenten journey of encounter with CRS Rice

Bowl. The Rice Bowl boxes will be distributed at Masses this

weekend in all churches in Region XII.

THE LIGHT is on FOR YOU

This Lent, the Archdiocese of Cincinnati

will once again engage in the initiative,

The Light Is On For You: Encounter the

Peace of Christ During the Season of Lent.

On Tuesday, February 27 from 7:00 to 9:00

pm, St. Peter along with other Catholic

Parishes and Pastoral Regions will open their doors and

provide the opportunity for private confession. If you

have been reluctant to participate in the Sacrament

of Reconciliation, 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

service, this is a your chance to experience the

reconciling peace of Christ through the grace of the

Sacrament. No stress, just peace! Learn more at the

website encounterpeace.org. Donations will be taken for the ST. PETER FOOD PANTRY AND

ST. VINCENT DEPAUL SOCIETY.

CATECHISM CORNER Ad Jesum per Marian

by Josh Miller

“What the Catholic faith

believes about Mary is

based on what it believes

about Christ, and what it

teaches about Mary

illumines in turn its faith in

Christ” (CCC 487).

Have you ever had the experience where

you are getting to know a new friend, and

you start to notice unusual mannerisms or

quirks? Or perhaps, you are on a first date

and you wonder, “Why does he eat pizza

with a fork and knife?” or “Why does she

talk so quickly?” Then, you meet the

person's parents, and it all makes sense.

It is no secret that we bear the marks of our

parents, whether it be in appearance,

actions, or beliefs. For many people,

hearing a friend say he likes your mom’s

cooking or that she is really smart brings a

smile and joy that your friend appreciates

the woman who raised you.

Catholic’s have often been accused of

focusing on Mary to the point of forgetting

about Christ, but this couldn’t be farther

from the truth. We don't get to know Mary

because we are tired of Jesus; we get to

know Mary because we love Jesus, and

she is his mom. The more we know Mary,

the more we can know Christ.

Mary’s heroic virtue, perfect motherhood,

devout prayer, selfless sacrifices, pure

heart, and unfailing patience in the face of

depthless sorrow formed Jesus’ home life.

In his humanity, Christ needed to learn

virtue. Mary provided those lessons. Mary is

the perfect model of what it means to be

like Christ, in part, because she was Christ’s

first model of what it meant to be human.

A mother has a deep and lasting impact

on her children. Because of this close

motherly bond, God could only have had

a saint as a mother. Therefore, our Church

pours praise and petition into Mary’s lap. In

her humility, any of our time and attention

that we spend with her, Mary uses to share

with us the child whom she most loves:

Christ, the source of all holiness and joy.

Let us never forget to pray Ad Jesum per

Mariam, To Jesus through Mary.

and hope God intends for every marriage. The

evening will feature appetizers, cocktails, dinner, music, games,

and prayers. Tickets are $40 a couple and will be sold after all

ST. PETER SCHOOL SPRING FLING

The Spring Fling for St. Peter School is on Saturday,

April 14, from 7:00 to 11:00 pm. THIS IS THE FINAL YEAR

FOR THE FUNDRAISER. The night includes heavy hors

d’oeuvres, complimentary soft drinks, cash bar, drink

raffle (specialty cocktail and craft beer), silent

auction baskets, photo booth, DJ and dancing, drop

in the bucket, the emcee Father Ethan, and much more.

Formerly known as the St. Peter Annual Spring Gala and Silent

Auction, it is one of the largest fundraisers for our school of

approximately 500 students. Last year, with the help of many

generous businesses, teachers, parents, and attendees, we raised

over $14,000! The classrooms received adaptive equipment for

students and teachers as well as STEM (Science, Technology,

Engineering, Mathematics) equipment for use this school year. This

year the money raised will again be used to enhance our STEM

Program and provide additional classroom adaptive equipment for

students and teachers to augment the learning and teaching

environment in the classroom.

Tickets are $20 a person; please contact Kathy Moorman in the

School Office 233-8710 to order your tickets. For details on the gala,

please contact Deb Cannon, Chair, at 430-3005.
