The Fourth Week of Lent – The Prodigal Son
The story of the Prodigal Son helps us to refocus on the meaning of Lent. This is a time to change our ways, to turn back to God our Father, and to appreciate and share the gifts we have received. As we begin the second half of our journey with Catholic Relief Services Operation Rice Bowl, we remember that we are called to be stewards of what God has given us, and we connect our prayers and fasting with our giving.
Lent! A guide for today’s young person (part 3/4)… Most youth today respond with…what is Almsgiving? Actually most adults don’t know what it means either! Ever watch an old movie and there is a homeless person saying “alms, alms for the poor?” That’s right! It is giving something away, usually money, to someone less fortunate. Well Jesse…what happens if you are a youth and your parents give you everything you need and you really don’t have any money? Answer…if money isn’t accessible then maybe you could clean out your cupboards and give to the Food Pantry. If time is precious to you, then maybe you volunteer somewhere during this Lenten season. Almsgiving can go further than food, money, or even time; it is the reality of giving something that is important to you away for someone in need. Sacrifice. Think about it…what could you do?

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.
