Our Lenten Collection Wednesday, March 16 Donation: $66.61
Donations to date: $258.64
Our Wednesday Mass collection for the following dates will be donated to the Saint Andre Bessette Catholic Church
(Portland’s Downtown Chapel) to assist them in their ongoing efforts to feed and clothe Portland’s homeless
citizens. A weekly graph will display our progress.
Please give generously. Donation dates: March 8, 15, 22, April 5 & 12.
It is noon at Jacob’s well. Tired from the journey, Jesus stops to rest. The Word of God is hungry and thirsty. He
calls a woman and her fellow citizens to faith. A Samaritan woman comes to the well at the hour when the sun is
burning. Perhaps this woman of bad reputation comes at this hour to avoid an encounter. But there is someone sitting by the well. Who is he? He is a Jew, and Jews do not associate
with Samaritans. It is an old story of schism and fear of contamination.
In the eyes of Jesus, Samaria is like this woman who has five husbands. It has become a prostitute to the idols. But the Word of God is thirsty. He desires the faith of this woman. He begins playing a game of question and answer with her.
By the questions he raises, Jesus breaks through to the heart of this woman. She cannot avoid the question who is this
man who is greater than Jacob? Is he a prophet? Is he possibly the Messiah? Refreshed by the water of life, the Samaritan woman runs to the village, announcing the
good news of the mystery of Jesus.
The hunger of the Word has now been satisfied. By introducing the woman to the life of faith, by bringing to
God true worshipers, Jesus has begun to fulfill his mission. The Samaritans are already on the way. Their adherence to
Jesus, the Savior of the World, prefigures the fruitfulness of a gospel preached to the ends of the earth.

Lent to Easter
Fridays of Lent
~ Stations of the Cross—5:30pm in the Church ~ Soup Suppers - 6:15pm in the Community Center
We will share a simple meal of homemade soups, breads, macaroni and cheese and peanut butter sandwiches. We will pray together and eat together, followed by a short program for adults and activities for the children.
Donations are collected for Operation Rice Bowl, which is the Catholic Relief Services’ Lenten Program to reach out to people in our own neighborhoods, as well as around the world.
Fasting & Abstinence ~ All Catholics 14 years and older abstain from meat on the Fridays of Lent, Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. ~ Catholics between the ages of 18 and 59 fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. To fast means to eat one
full meal; the other two meals that day should be less than the normal amount unless they are already at a minimum for good health. Eating between meals is not permitted; however, liquids including coffee, milk
and fruit juices are allowed.
Hot Lunch Volunteers Needed!
The hot lunch program is desperate for volunteers! Many dates are available from
March through June.
Hot lunch cannot exist without volunteers!!
Please check your calendar and sign-up today!
