There
is a new interactive way of assessing the spiritual health of parish
life available across the Diocese this Lent. Developed by the
Pennsylvania-based Catholic Leadership Institute, the Disciple Maker
Index (DMI) is a survey tool created to allow you to reflect upon your
own spiritual growth and discipleship, identify the ways in which our
parish effectively supports that growth and look at opportunities to
support that growth more in the future, provide valuable input to help
me and the Parish Council make decisions and plan effectively, and
finally help me and Parish Council have a sense of where to focus our
evangelization efforts. This survey can be completed online. To access
and complete the survey, go to
www.catholicleaders.org/clevelanddmi and select our
parish, St. Casimir. The survey will be available for all parishioners
across the Diocese to participate in from February 20 – March 22. It
just takes a few minutes to complete and it will give me and the Parish
Council valuable information to plan our future. If you have any
problems accessing this survey, contact me.
God bless!

STATIONS OF THE CROSS
We will pray the Stations of the Cross every Friday during Lent after the 7:30
am Mass in English, and every Sunday during Lent after the 11:00 am Mass in
Lithuanian. All are invited to take part in these devotional prayers.
CONFESSIONS
Confessions are now being heard in the church every Saturday from 3-4 pm.
PRAYERS FOR LITHUANIA
Each year, the Lithuanian Bishops have asked Lithuanian Parishes throughout the
world for a day of prayer for Lithuania on the first Sunday of March. As a
Lithuanian parish, this weekend we offer our prayers for our bothers and sisters
in Lithuania and throughout the world that they grow closer to God through a
greater participation in the sacramental life of the Church. |
PLEASE PRAY
 We
ask you to remember in your prayers the soul of
Algirdas
Andrašiūnas who died recently. May he live forever in the joy of the
Resurrection.

FAMILY
PERSPECTIVES
In watching Jesus
drive the money changers and merchants from the temple, his disciples remember
the verse from the book of Psalms: “Zeal for your house has consumed me.” In St.
John’s gospel, Jesus’s cleansing of the temple is at the beginning of the gospel
instead of the end. In the gospel, Jesus purifies the temple. How does your
family and faith community maintain a sacred worship space for the people of God
to worship? |
