ALTAR SOCIETY ANNUAL PLANT SALE

Spring is just around the corner. Time to start planning your garden and ordering your flowers and vegetable plants beginning today from the St. Casimir Altar Society’s Annual Plant Sale.

Return your order form in the collection basket, mail it to the Church, or drop it off at the Rectory. Support your parish and beautify your yard. It’s a win-win.

     As Lent draws to a close, we are all reminded again of our need for forgiveness and reconciliation. One of the most difficult things we have to do is admit our sins. It is much easier to admit that we have faults – but only the good kind of faults like being too well organized or working too hard. It is very difficult for us to admit to wrongdoing and when we are forced to because we have been caught, we try to place blame elsewhere. Even in our society, when we hear of a criminal or a politician being caught committing a crime, the individual many times blames someone else, o complains that “the system is flawed.”

     Deep inside, we know that we are sinners and we keep our sins hidden from everyone and try to hide them even from ourselves. We also know, but don’t want to acknowledge, that God knows all our sins. He knows us completely, even better than we know ourselves. And in spite of our faults and sinfulness, God still loves us with perfect love that only God can have.

     There are many instances in the Gospels that Jesus explains to us the Father’s love or us and Jesus calls us to repentance. Lent is the time to answer that call. God, our loving Father is waiting for us.

     The way to forgiveness is through the Sacrament of Reconciliation. During these last two weeks of Lent, look deep inside your soul, acknowledge your sinfulness and seek forgiveness. Our cluster parishes are offering the opportunity to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation this Monday here at St. Casimir’s at 7:00 pm. Confessions are also heard here every Saturday at 4:30pm, and during Holy Week confessions will be heard on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday after the 7:30am Mass.

CLUSTER PENANCE SERVICE

THIS Monday, March 19th, at 7:00pm, the Collinwood Cluster of Parishes is having their annual Lenten Penance Service here at St. Casimir’s. At least five priests will be hearing confessions. We encourage you to take this opportunity to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation before the celebration of Easter.
 

STATIONS OF THE CROSS
 

Every Friday at 7:00pm during Lent, we pray the Stations of the Cross. This week they will be led by the Lithuanian school. All are encouraged to participate in this traditional Lenten devotion.
