The 2019 Catholic Service and Ministry Appeal…Blessed to receive, chosen to give
A most heartfelt thanks to all those who have already responded with a gift to The 2019 Catholic Service and
Ministry Appeal. If you have not done so as yet, there’s still plenty of time. One-time donations or pledges – in
any amount – are needed and can be made through your parish or at www.diobelle.org (click on “Giving
to the Diocese”). Your generosity supports 15 agencies and programs that daily serve thousands of people.
Please consider making your gift today or at any time you are able in the coming months. We also ask
for your prayers for the success of this year’s appeal and all those we serve. Thank you and may God bless you
always. Judy Phillips – Diocese of Belleville
Second Sunday of Lent – 17 March 2019
Genesis 15:5-12, 17-18. Psalm 27:1, 7-8, 8-9, 13-14. Philippians 3:17–4:1. Luke 9:28b-36.
Escaping to pray. Jesus did it again. He stepped away from the hubbub of life to pray. He took three friends who were drowsed by sleep on this retreat. But pray he still did. And God spoke from the cloud.
¨ How is prayer filling my lenten retreat, my lenten journey?
¨ With whom will I go for some quiet and prayer?
¨ What am I doing to listen for God’s voice?

Confirmation – As many of you know, Confirmation will be celebrated on May 16 at St. Michael’s. Between the two parishes, we have eleven students being confirmed. The students have been busy preparing for this very important event. At this time, we are asking you to show your support for them. You may ask, how can I do that? We have come up with a way for you to actively do just that! I will have slips of paper with a child’s name written on it. If you want to be actively involved in this program, please contact me and I will get the name of a student to you. We ask that you say some extra prayers for this child, & perhaps offer some words of encouragement, either person-to-person or by written form. I know this is something new, so if you want to ask me about it, please don’t hesitate to call or text me at 618-214-7209. Judy
