Ordinary Time :: The Preaching of the Kingdom of God

Thursday February 11 is the feast of Our Lady of Lourdes.  Join us at 7:30 pm to celebrate a healing mass on this evening devoted to Mary and the great healing tradition at Lourdes.  We invite all to come to celebrate the sacrament of annointing of the sick.  This sacrament may be received by anyone with a desire to receive God’s healing in time of sickness, for age and infirmity, for healing of grief, anxiety, and other emotional suffering, for any healing you desire to receive from God.

We invite all parisioners to bring palm from last years celebration of Palm Sunday.  These blessed palm branches from last years holy week will be burned outside church at all masses on February 13/14 to mark the beginning of lent and to provide the ashes for Ash Wednesday

On Tuesday February 16 our parsih invites all to attend a Mardi Gras party and celebration from 7 to 9 PM here at OLL.  $5 includes all the food and fun your heart can hold as we prepare to enter the great fast of lent!  Call our Outreach office for more information.

On Ash Wednesday, Ferburay 17, we celebrate the distribution of blessed ashes every hour on the hour from 7 AM until 9 PM.  Mass with distribution of ashes is celebrated at 8 AM and 8 PM.
