Operation Rice Bowl

The Third Week of Lent – The Burning Bush and the Call of Moses

Today we hear the call of Moses to lead his people from oppression to freedom.  God promises to be with them as they journey to a new life.  Our participation in Catholic Relief Services’ Operation Rice Bowl unites us in prayer, fasting, and giving with the millions of people throughout the world who are oppressed by poverty, injustice, war, disease, and lack of education and other opportunities.


Youth Group News

Lent!  A guide for today’s young person (part 2/4)…Fasting is hard for teenagers.  To understand fasting, we must first understand weakness.  I like to eat just like anyone, but when I feel hungry I feel weak.  Our world says weakness is bad but God actually uses weakness to bring us closer to Him.  Think about it…when we are proud and strong, we tend to forget about God but when we feel weak we search for Him.  Food is essential for life but a deeper relationship with God is essential for a richer life.  Which do you prefer? Try fasting this Lenten season; you just might find something much deeper to feed that inner hunger.
Peace,

57th Annual Spaghetti Dinner

To All parishioners, neighbors and friends (and anyone else who’d enjoy a great spaghetti dinner), get ready, because it’s coming!

Yes, the 57th annual Spaghetti Dinner, sponsored by the ladies of the Altar Society, will be held Sunday, March 14th, noon to 6:00PM in the audi.  Take-outs from 11:30, (please bring your own containers).

The menu includes: savory spaghetti and meatballs with our original, tasty, secret sauce, Italian tossed salad, bread, butter, beverage and dessert all lovingly prepared by Lorraine Squeglia, with Lisa Lopez Zamierowski and Linn Lopez Rater (a lot of other people helped too, but those three, they deserve all the credit).      The dinner is a real bargain at $6 for adults, $3 for children 6-12, and under 6 are free.

After you enjoy your dinner stop by the Bake Sale and see what delicious baked goods have been donated by our own bakers right here at Sacred Heart parish.  The variety is endless: fudge, cookies, cake, pies, breads, candy, muffins and more.

After you purchase your baked goods, mozy over to the table where the Italian Theme Basket is displayed and take a chance on that.  Anyone wishing to donate items for the Bake Sale may bring them to the audi on Saturday from 9 until 11:30 or any time Sunday.  Remember your raffle tickets! Put them in the collection basket or bring them with you on Sunday.

Think about taking a spaghetti dinner to a shut-in this year.  You will most certainly brighten their day, and they will always remember your kindness.

Workers  are needed  for the dinner.  Call Susan Schuschu at 474-4580 if you can work in the kitchen on March 12th, 13th, or 14th.  Please call Robin Kunz at 864-7609 if you would like to serve dinners on Sunday, March 14th anytime from Noon until 6:00PM.
