Dear Fellow Parishioners,

In less than a week, it seems that we’ve gone from late winter to mid-spring, with a couple genuinely hot days included.

Each Lent, I try out one or more fish-&-chips places in the area, and ask them if they sell more on Fridays during Lent. They affirmed that they did, and that they sold even more fish as Lent went on. I was somewhat surprised at the strength of the abstinence.

We are roughly at the mid-point of this Lenten season, as our prayers from now on will often contain an air of future longing as well.

Fr. Bill Donahue,

Pastor
