February 19, 2020 Communiqué # 3
Good morning Ladies.
As we all know February 26th is Ash Wednesday the start of Lent. A lot of us may be devoted to fasting and abstinence. Lent is also a time to be quiet and thoughtful because Lent is a season of reflection and preparation before the celebration of Easter. May you all have a prayerful Lent and a peaceful and joyous Easter.

If you are a returning Parish Christian Family Life Chairperson—welcome back—and if you are a new Parish Christian Family Life Chairperson—thank you for allowing yourself to try something new. I am sure you will find this position interesting and worthwhile.
Once again we are in Lent so I would like to quote our Provincial Chairperson for Christian Family Life Susan Steiner who shared: “Lent summons us and enables us to come to the Lord wholeheartedly and in every aspect of our life.” (Pope Francis)
