FAMILY: Monday evenings 6:00pm Moms Group in FR

• Starting in Exodus, the Lord has asked His people to keep holy His

day. He commands us to set it apart from all other days to honor

Him, but also for our own good! God will never ask us to do some-

thing that is not good for us, and He COMMANDS us to do things

essential for our health and well-being. How does your family set

this day apart? Have you been influenced by the culture, especially

with the restrictions put upon us by the pandemic? How are you

setting this day apart from all other days in your home? Listen to

the Messy Family Parenting podcast "Reclaiming the Lord's Day"

for encouragement and ideas on how to reclaim the Lord’s Day.

• Looking for more this Lent? Formed.org has LOTS to choose from!

Videos include: "Whole 40: Making a Plan for Lent"; "Living Lent

as a Family" series; "A Lent to Remember"; Brother Francis "Let's

Learnt about Lent" for kids; audio options include: "Stations of the

Cross"; "My Beloved Son" and more! Go to formed.org.

• The National Catholic Women's Conference is a FREE virtual event

for Catholic women of all ages. This year, we will be exploring all the

ways that we as women can open ourselves to receive Christ's

peace. Despite the pressures that we feel in life, peace is possible!

Let's explore it together. The FREE event goes March 12-14.

SECULAR FRANCISCAN ORDER...The Secular Franciscan Order was established by St. Francis of Assisi more than 800 years ago. It is a true order,

approved by the Roman See, for lay people who live simply in the world. Our mission is to bring the Gospel to life where we live and work while looking for

practical ways to embrace our Rule. Our current formation topic is Saints and Animals by Br. William Short.

St. Francis of Assisi has for decades been depicted in art and garden birdbaths as a saint with a love for animals. But he is not the only Christian saint

associated with animals. Come and hear about the early Christian martyrs, the Desert Fathers of Egypt, monks, nuns, and hermits from all over the world

and their fascinating accounts of animals. Through this series, we will explore the deeper meaning hidden in these stories by our Creator.
