Archbishop's
Annual Appeal
Those of us who attend
Church here at Epiphany parish
have been blessed with many gifts
for the benefit of others and
ourselves. When everyone
participates, the burden is
lighter and the Church grows and
flourishes. The people in all
parishes of the Archdiocese must
fund the programs and ministries
beyond the work being done here
in the parish, but the cost. None
of the money raised in this
Appeal will be used to settle
sexual abuse cases.
The Appeal benefits youth,
elderly, sick, disabled,
families, and ethnic groups.
These programs assist all the
parishes and the Annual Appeal
even provides direct subsidies to
some parishes and schools. The
programs include vocations,
training of priests and deacons,
hospital ministry, family life
programs, the marriage tribunal,
foreign missions, communications
and the Archdiocesan Council of
Catholic Women. The money also
helps in evangelizing those who
have not heard the Good News of
Jesus. In general, this Appeal
supports programs and ministries
that are beyond the ability of
any single parish.
We ask that each of you
consider what you can do to help
with this important work. Perhaps
you'll consider donating an
hour's pay for each month of the
year. You can consider what
you've done in prior years and
try to do a bit more this year.
Maybe you'll use the giving guide
in the brochure to help determine
your gift.
It is also important to
remember that as a parish we are
assessed $84,800.00. If
parishioner pledges don't come up
to the amount, it will have to
come from the parish bank
account. The good news is that if
we pledge more than that amount,
the excess is returned to us to
use here in the parish. We have
an opportunity to help the
Archdiocese in its work and to
provide for special needs here in
the parish as well.
I've filled out my own
pledge card and urge you to do
the same. Your support of this
campaign is strong evidence of
your faith and your love of the
Church and of your neighbor. The
generosity of the people in this
parish is heartwarming to say the
least. Thank you for all that you
do!
God bless you,
Fr.

Lenten
Regulations:
*ABSTINENCE:
All who have reached their 14th birthday
are to abstain from eating meat on all
Fridays during Lent.
*FASTING:
All those who are 18 and older, until
their 59th birthday, are to fast on Good
Friday. Only one full meal is allowed on
days of fast. Two other meals, sufficient
to maintain strength, may be taken
according to one's needs. But together,
they should not equal a full meal. Eating
between meals is not permitted, but
liquids are allowed.
The
obligation does not apply to those whose
health or ability to work would be
seriously affected. People in doubt about
fast or abstinence should consult a parish
priest.
Reflections
GOSPEL:
Matthew 4: 1-11
As Jesus prepares to begin his ministry,
he enters a kind of spiritual "training
camp." Alone in the desert, he fasts and
prays for forty days. When the devil tries
to ambush him with three temptations to
disobey God's will, Jesus is well armed.
He defends himself with the word of God by
quoting from the Book of Deuteronomy. He
refuses to be tricked by false promises of
power and glory.
1.)
Lent can be a spiritual training camp for
us today. It is a time to practice using
God's word as our defensive weapon against
temptation. What spiritual training plans
will you put into practice during
Lent?
2.)
Prayer and fasting are traditional.
Today's passage from the gospel might
suggest that we spend a few minutes each
day in reading Scripture. Or are we trying
to live on bread
alone?
