Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time

FATHER JIM'S JOTS
Greetings!!
This Wednesday is Ash Wednesday. We start Lent. Masses will be at 12 p.m. and 6 p.m. Please plan on attending Mass. Lent is 40 days of prayer, fasting and alms giving. We are Blessed as a Roman Catholic community to live out to embrace this special holy Lenten season. Please click here for our full Lenten Calendar or visit our online calendar ar www.stelizcc.org/events/.
Recently, many of you received a letter from Bishop Knestout asking for your support of the 2024 Annual Diocesan Appeal. We hope you will prayerfully consider this request. For those of you who did not receive a mailing or have not had time to respond to it, we will conduct our In-Pew Process at all Masses during the weekends of February 18th and February 25th.
An important aspect of the Appeal is that all parishes receive back a portion of their funds collected to be used for important local priorities. This year our Annual Appeal goal is $14,910.00.
Every year we get back more money from the Diocese than we give for the Annual Appeal. Below is a list of grants that we received from the Diocese in 2023:
Food and Hunger Fund $20,000
Respect for Life $12,500
Home Mission $8,500
Total $41,000
Blessings,
Fr. Jim
