PARISH EVENTS IN OUR PARISH & ELSEWHERE

Prayer for an End to Infanticide The U.S. Senate recently failed to pass the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act—legislation that prohibits infanticide by ensuring that a child born alive following an attempted abor-tion would receive the same degree of care to preserve her or his life and health as would be given to any other child born alive at the same gestational age. Please join us in prayer for an end to infanticide: “Jesus, Lord of Life, transform the hearts of all elected leaders to recognize that infanticide is wrong and must not be tolerated. Open hearts and minds to recognize and defend the precious gift of every human life.” Oracion Para Ponerle Fin Al Infanticidio El Senado de Estados Unidos recientemente no adoptó la Ley Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection [Ley de Protección a Sobrevivientes de Abortos Nacidos Vivos], legislación que pro-híbe el infanticidio al asegurar que un niño que haya nacido vivo después de un intento de aborto reciba el mismo grado de atención para preservar su vida y salud que cualquier otro niño que nazca vivo a la misma edad gestacional. Recemos juntos para pedir el fin del infanticidio: “Jesús, Señor de la Vida, transforma el corazón de todos los diri-gentes electos para que reconozcan que el infanticidio está mal y no debe tolerarse. Te pedimos que abras los corazones y mentes para que reconozcan y defiendan el don preciado de cada vida humana”. Catholic Relief Services Collection Next weekend we will take up the Catholic Relief Services (CRS) collection, which helps children, women and families around the world. The six worldwide organizations supported by the collection provide immediate humanitarian aid, pastoral sup-port and disaster relief to our suffering brothers and sisters around the globe. This collection offers an opportunity for each of us to help Jesus in disguise. Please give generously to the Catholic Relief Services collection. Stations of the Cross Stations of the Cross will be at 11:30 am and 6:15 pm on Fridays during Lent at St. Mary. Spanish Stations will be at 7:00 pm on Fridays.

St. Rita's Prayer Quilt Ministry St. Rita's Prayer Quilt Ministry was founded in November of 2016. This started as an idea to make prayer quilts for those in the parish that were in need of care for illness. Prayer quilts are distributed by Father Bernard or one of the Deacons; the group gets the names from nominations from the parish. There are nom-ination forms on the table (and in the parish office) in English and Spanish, please fill one out if you know of anyone in our par-ish that is going through any kind of illness, physical, emotional, mental and spiritual; forms can be returned to the table, placed in the collection plate or left with the parish staff. Once the form is received, the group will select a prayer quilt for the nominee and make arrangements for it to be delivered. To date 60 prayer quilts have been distributed to parishioners. If you are interested in joining St. Rita's Prayer Quilt Ministry, the group meets for fellowship and to sew quilts on the second Monday of each month from 10:00 am - 4:00 pm. Whether you are a beginner sewer or an expert any one is welcome to join!
