“Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.” -Matthew 28:19

Dear Family of Faith,
Laetare Sunday, the fourth Sunday of Lent, is similar to Gaudete Sunday, the third Sunday of Advent. Laetare is a Latin word meaning “to rejoice.” We are half-way through our Lenten journey to the great Solemnity of Easter. In joyful expectation of our Lord’s resurrection, the color purple is replaced by the joyful color of rose.
Continuing with The Pontifical Mission Societies history, I’d like to present another arm of TPMS. As the 19th century was drawing to close Jeanne Bigard, and her mother, Stephanie received a letter from a French bishop serving in Japan. He told of more than 50 young men preparing for the priesthood and about the difficulty he was having providing for them and trying to accommodate the growing number of young men applying for admission to the seminary. Stephanie and Jeanne began collecting funds to support those seminarians. In 1889, they established the Society of St. Peter Apostle to support mission vocations, both priestly and Religious.
In the first year of its foundation, the Society of St. Peter Apostle aided some 2,700 seminarians. Today, some 28,000 major seminarians, mostly in Asia and Africa, receive an average annual subsidy of $700 per student; assistance is also provided for men and women Religious novices.
So your donations this Lent have a impact in a wide range of missionary activity of the Church Universal.
In closing, a reminder that Monday, March 20, is the Feast Day of St. Joseph, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary. We will celebrate Holy Mass at 8:30 a.m.
St. Joseph, pray for us,
Fr. Chad M. Droessler

Lenten Almsgiving
Our parish Lenten almsgiving will support “The Pontifical Mission Societies which serve the Church’s universality as a global network of support for the
Pope in his missionary commitment by prayer, the soul of mission, and charitable offerings from Christians throughout the world.” -Pope Francis
Throughout the year, the Pontifical Mission Societies support the proclamation of the Gospel, the building of the Church, and the work and witness of mission priests, religious Sisters and Brothers, and lay pastoral leaders. These missionaries provide food, education, and medical care to the most vulnerable communities in the Pope’s missions. Through their work, they reveal the compassionate heart of Jesus. Help support their efforts ~ and be right there with them, offering hope. Donation boxes are available in the back of church. Please take one or more home with you. As you fast during Lent from things that you enjoy, such as coffee, candy, soda, fast food, etc., set aside the money you would normally have spent, and place it in the box. Return it on Palm Sunday weekend.
IHM Easter Memorials
