Stewardship Thoughts
February 22, 2015 - 1st Sunday of Lent
"After John had been arrested, Jesus came to Galilee
proclaiming the gospel of God...." - Mark 1:14
Do you ever think about how difficult it must have
been for Jesus to come into Galilee, knowing that
John had just been arrested for teaching the same
message that Jesus was proclaiming. It must have
taken great love and trust for Jesus to do what the
Father had sent Him here on earth to do. In the same
way, following a life of stewardship takes great love
and trust from us. We must be willing to surrender
completely to God, trusting that God will always
give us all that we need to fulfill His plan for us.

Thank You
We would like to thank everyone who supported our
fundraiser to World Youth Day in Poland in 2016.
Thanks to those who contributed to the silent auction, bought horses, and attended our first Mardi
Gras and Nite at the Races. Thanks to those who
set up and tore down all the tables, chairs and decorations. We would also like to thank Vince Mace
and Leah Kunze for helping with all the prep work in
the kitchen, Jory Schipman for his MC skills and
providing music. Thank you Jim and Mary Brady for
all your help on Sunday, all is greatly appreciated.
We plan on have another Nite at the races
sometime in the near future.

Mass Intentions
As Catholics, we have a long tradition of having Masses celebrated for those we wish to offer up in prayer.
The Mass is the ultimate form of prayer, and each Mass is celebrated for an intention. We ask $10.00 per
mass intention.
Please consider having Masses celebrated for family and friends on special occasions and anniversaries, as
well as those who are in need of prayers. Masses are also encouraged in memory of those loved ones who
have died, especially on the anniversaries of their deaths. Contact Fr. Cory for more information!
