Resurrection of the Lord Parish
Of Mind and Heart
On this second Sunday of Lent, we hear the story of the Transfiguration of Christ. Peter, James and John get a preview of Christ’s risen glory. From the cloud they also hear the voice of the Father declare, “This is my chosen Son; listen to him”. This coming Wednesday at the Standish location, we have our Soup Supper at 5:30 p.m. with soups provided by the Knights of Columbus. After the meal, we will go to church to watch a video on the practice of Fasting. It will give us a fresh perspective on this ancient practice.
I’ve been helping to facilitate organizing meetings for the Socializing group and the Men’s Group and the Women’s groups. The Socializing group had a lot of ideas to bring people together so they could get to know one another. Their next meeting will be Monday, April 7th at 1:00 p.m. in the Social Hall. They want to plan events, home and away. Because of smaller numbers, I met with those interested in Women’s and a Men’s groups together. They thought that one way to bring people together would be to watch an episode of “The Chosen” at the Church in Standish on Saturday, March 22 at 11:00 a.m. and see if watching that series would be way to bring together for a faith inspired event. You are all invited to join that group that day and see where it leads. You never know until you try. All these groups are an attempt to get more people involved and for them to get to know each other beyond weekend Masses.
Peace,
Fr. Ron
