Day of Confessions, March 25
In the season of Lent, as we focus on God’s call to
return to him with all our hearts, we will have the
opportunity to ritualize our desire for change and
renewal. Throughout the diocese on Wednesday,
March 25, very priest in every parish will be
available throughout the entire day to celebrate the
sacrament of penance (reconciliation). Over this
week let us make the journey into the heart of our
relationship with God. Take a long loving look at
the ways God calls you to grow. Take this
challenge and hold it in readiness for the rich
blessing that is manifest in sacrament of penance.
“Do not be afraid to ask God’s forgiveness! He
never tires of forgiving us, like a father who loves
us.” – Pope Francis
Confession times: 9am to 12noon
1:00pm – 4:00pm &
6:00pm – 9:00pm
Dia das Confissões, 25 de Março
No tempo da Quaresma, ao
concentrar-mos no chamamento de Deus para voltar
a ele com todo o nosso coração, teremos a
oportunidade de ritualizar o nosso desejo de mudar
e renovar. Na nossa diocese na quarta-feira, 25 de
Março, todos os sacerdotes em cada paróquia
estaráo disponível durante todo o dia para celebrar o
sacramento da penitência (reconciliação). Durante
esta semana, vamos fazer a viagem ao coração do
nosso relacionamento com Deus. Dê uma olhada as
maneiras em que Deus nos chama a crescer. Faço
este desafio, e mantenha-o em prontidão para as
ricas bênções que se manifesta no sacramento da
penitência."Não tenha medo de pedir perdão a
Deus! Ele não se cansa de nos perdoar, como um
pai que nos ama" ~ Papa Francisco

Today is Solidarity Sunday! Support the Share Lent collection for
Development and Peace.
Pope Francis ends his Joy of the Gospel with this prayer to Mary:
Star of the new evangelization, help us to bear radiant witness to
communion, service, ardent and generous faith, justice and love of the
poor, that the joy of the Gospel may reach to the ends of the Earth,
illuminating even the fringes of our world.
Today, on the Fifth Sunday of Lent, Solidarity Sunday, we join the Holy
Father in praying that we may all be radiant witnesses and that through
our support of Development and Peace, the joy of the Gospel may
indeed illuminate even the darkest corners of our world! Your gift can
be placed in the Share Lent envelopes. Thank you for your generosity in
helping to meet the needs of the world.

Papa Francis termina a sua alegria do evangelho com esta oração a
Maria:
Estrela da nova evangelização, ajuda-nos a dar testemunho radiante à
comunhão, serviço, fé ardente e generosa, a justiça e o amor dos pobres,
que a alegria do Evangelho chegue até os fins da Terra, iluminando até
mesmo à beira do nosso mundo.
Hoje, no Quinto Domingo da Quaresma, Domingo de Solidariedade,
nos unimos ao Santo Padre em oração para que todos nós possamos
ser testemunhas radiantes e que através do nosso apoio ao
Desenvolvimento e da Paz, a alegria do Evangelho pode realmente
iluminar até os cantos mais escuros do nosso mundo! Sua oferta pode
ser colocada no envelope Quaresmal para o Desenvolvimento e Paz.
Obrigado pela sua generosidade em ajudar as necessidades do

“On the weekend of April 10 and 11, All Saints Parish
is hosting their annual Marriage Prep Weekend. We
have 20 engaged couples taking part in this weekend
preparing for the Sacrament of Marriage. In the narthex we
have a tree with hearts representing both the engaged couples
that are participating & the married couples that are helping
this weekend. We ask that you take a heart from the tree and
over the next couple of weeks pray for the couple that is on
your heart. Please pray for a successful weekend and that
God blesses each couple with a strong and happy marriage.”
