Please mark your calendars and plan to join us for our Lenten mission on the evenings of March 7 through March 10, 2010.
This year's mission will be led by Rev. Tom Donaldson, CSSR. You may have heard Fr. Tom lead a retreat or mission in the past as he has directed hundreds of gatherings across the U.S. He currently resides at St. Michael's Parish in Chicago's Old Town neighborhood. We are grateful that his close proximity has made him available to lead us in prayer and reflection this coming Lent.
While a mission experience is most complete when all sessions are attended, please try and join us even if your schedule only allows for one or two evenings.

This beloved annual pancake breakfast is sponsored by our St. Juliana Tiger and Cub Scouts. In addition to fresh flapjacks and sausage hot off the griddle, coffee, juice and milk are provided.
So mark your calendars and plan to join us in the school hall between 8:00 AM and 1:00 PM on Sunday, March 14. Tickets are available from your favorite scout, or through the parish office. This is the only fundraising event the scouts hold during the year and your support is greatly appreciated. If you're not able to join us for the meal, raffle donations are welcome, too - just contact the parish office to get in touch with the coordinators. |

According to legend, the St. Joseph Table originated in Sicily several centuries ago, during a period of severe drought and famine. The people were starving and all they could grow were fava beans. In desperation, they prayed to St. Joseph, the protector of the Holy Family. He answered their prayers by sending good rains and an abundant harvest to end the famine.

Abstinence from meat is to be observed on Ash Wednesday and all Fridays of Lent by all Catholics 14 years old and older.
Fasting is to be observed on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday by all Catholics who are 18 years of age, but not yet 59. Those who are bound to this may take only one full meal. Eating solid foods between meals is not permitted. But if necessary, two smaller meals are permitted in order to maintain strength according to individual needs. |
