CELEBRATE LENT WITH ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISI
After a year full of sorrows, we should ready ourselves
for a season of somber humility. Lent offers an invitation
for us to pray, to say I am sorry, and to look inward. The
season of Lent was one of sacrifice and introspection for
St. Francis. As our guide through this holy season, he is
inviting us to do the same.
Our Lent with St. Francis celebration begins February 17.

ONLINE LENT RETREAT
MAKING SENSE OF SUFFERING
Dates and Times: February 23 at 5:30pm
This workshop is offered online via Zoom.
Suffering is hard, and it’s hard
to talk about. And yet, it is one
of the realities that all human
beings share. Is there sense to
be made of it? What is the
connection between suffering
and faith? In this workshop,
Peggy Guerrero, MEd, MPM,
will use Sacred Scripture,
literature, and other media to
help participants explore this
very human experience and
reflect on how we can engage suffering in a spirit of
faith. The cost for the workshop is $18.00.
To register, please contact Jordan Ministry Team at

Question: Is Ash Wednesday a holy day of obligation? Greeter Jan Grossi
Answer: Greeter
Despite the often packed churches, you may be surprised to hear that the Lector Suzanne Roelike
answer is no! Holy days of obligation commemorate a particular event (such as MofHC Joe Grossi
the birth of Christ at Christmas) or celebrate particular people (such as Mary’s
Immaculate Conception or the feast of All Saints). Ash Wednesday is a day of MofHC Claudia Andersen
penance, fasting, and abstinence to begin the season of Lent. In a sense, it SUNDAY, 11:00AM MASS
focuses on a concept rather than something particular and concrete.
Greeter Donna Morgan
Of course, repentance ought to be reflected in particular, concrete ways! That’s
Greeter
one of the reasons that attending Mass on Ash Wednesday is a very good idea.
It marks the beginning of a solemn season of penance. Despite all its Lector Jeff Morgan
comparisons to the desert, Lent can be very fruitful for our spiritual growth! MofHC Bob Foy

MofHC Mike Emory
While Ash Wednesday holds great meaning for the faithful, in Church history it
has never been a Holy Day of Obligation. Moreover, please recall that the
general dispensation from Mass attendance remains in effect in the Diocese of
Tucson. If you would like to watch Ash Wednesday Mass, Fr. Alonzo will be live If you know of anyone who is

These brothers by birth became brothers in
mission. Cyril and Methodius were born to a Greek
diplomat in the 800s. The two brothers served in
local governmental posts before each withdrew to
a monastery. Their lives changed when the political
leadership in Eastern Europe — what is now Ukraine SUNDAY
— requested priests who spoke the native Slavic
languages. Cyril and Methodius had proven CONTRIBUTIONS
themselves as able administrators and holy men, so
FEBRUARY 7, 2021
they were sent as missionaries. First, Cyril invented
offertory collection
an alphabet. This became the foundation for what is
now used today and is still called the Cyrillic $4,131.00
alphabet! Next, the brothers translated the Gospels, WeShare, online giving
the Psalms, and other liturgical books into the $ 939.00
native language of the people. Their work spread
across Eastern Europe. God indeed raises up saints
for their times!
