Dear God, during these forty days let us not focus on the things we are “giving up." Let us focus on the One who “gave it all up” for us. Renew our minds and draw us back to our first love. Prepare our hearts for Easter, for Your sacrifice and for Your Resurrection! Amen.
- FEBRUARY 18 IS ASH WEDNESDAY, when the Church begins the forty day journey toward the Triduum with the annual discipline of fasting, praying and giving alms. Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are days of fast and abstinence. All other Fridays in Lent are days of abstinence only. FASTING refers to only one full meal, with two small meals and no other eating at all for the day. All those required to FAST are between the ages of 18 and 59 years old. ABSTINENCE refers to not eating meat at all for the day. All those age 14 years old and above are required to abstain. Those who are excused from fast and abstinence are anyone suffering from a chronic illness, such as diabetes, or pregnant or nursing women. Mass with distribution of ashes will be celebrated at 8:00 AM and at 6:30 PM at Resurrection Church. Lenten Devotional Black Books are available in the Church. Feel free to take one.
- DISPOSING OF OLD PALMS: Anyone wishing to dispose of the old blessed palms from last year can place them in the containers that can be found at the back of each church during Lent. They will be burned in the new fire at the Easter Vigil.
- CRS RICE BOWL COLLECTION is a program that allows us to help those less fortunate. Rice Bowls are available in the back of the Church. Please take a Rice Bowl as you leave Mass on Ash Wednesday and return it on Holy Thursday at the Mass of the Lord’s Supper.
- STATIONS OF THE CROSS are held on the Fridays of Lent (except Good Friday) at 6:30 PM at Resurrection Church. All are welcome to attend.

THE HOLY FACE OF JESUS, A SACRED RELIC PRESENTATION
Join us for a powerful presentation centered on the Holy Face of Jesus . Drawing from the Church’s rich devotional tradition and the relic associated with the Veil of Veronica. The presenter will be Vicki Schreiner, Holy Face Apostolate. The presentation schedule is as follows: Saturday, March 7 at 6:30 PM at Visitation Church, Johnstown; Sunday, March 8 at 1:00 PM at St. Benedict Church Johnstown; Sunday, March 8 at 4:00 PM at Resurrection Church; Monday, March 9 at 5:15 PM at St. Catherine of Siena Church, Duncansville, Pa.; and Monday, March 9 at 7:30 PM at Most Holy Trinity Church, Huntingdon, Pa. This is a free presentation. A love collection will be taken to support Vicki’s ministry.
Sunday’s readings challenge us to reflect on the true state of our hearts as it relates to stewardship. Do we think of stewardship as something we take care of once a year, simply a matter of ticking off boxes on a commitment card – or do we choose to embrace it as a spirituality and way of life that allows us to grow in conformity to Christ every day?
The concept of stewardship helps us to live out the fundamental choice to put God first. Stewardship is not meant to be a mere external exercise in which we participate on an occasional basis. It is meant to be embraced as a way of life that involved a continuous conversion of heart.
Our Lord is asking us not only for exterior acts, but for a true change of heart. In stewardship terms, that means seeing everything as a gift from Him, to be used for His glory and the good of others. In the week ahead let us examine the state of our hearts to ask ourselves if we have chosen to allow stewardship to become a way of life for us. Only then will we experience it’s true depth and heart-changing possibilities. The choice is ours.
