♫An evening with the Real Diehl!!

National Pastoral Musicians (NPM) Columbus Chapter presents composer and pastoral musician Marty Haugen in concert Friday, April 18th at 7:30 p.m. at St. Mary Church. For ticket information call the school office 444-8994.

Lent: During Lent the Church calls us to metanoia.

Metanoia connotes a change of mind and heart, altering one's mind-set toward whole new ways of thinking and acting. This involves taking a look at where we are and trying to see where we ought to be. It involves testing our values and discerning how they stack up against the values that Jesus offers his followers.

    Fortunately, metanoia is not something we have to do all by ourselves. God's word gives us a lot of help in the process, as does the example of our brothers and sisters in the Lord who are engaged, during these weeks, in the same exercise.

    Lent is also the season of final preparation for those who will be baptized at the Easter Vigil. The Church invites its members to pray for these catechumens, but also to renew their own commitment to the life that began in them when they were baptized and so became members of God's people.

4-S Club Ladies Auxiliary Dinner Sunday, March 16, 2008 12 noon to 3:00 p.m. Dinner includes stuffed pork chops, mashed potatoes, green beans, roll and butter, fruit cocktail for dessert. $7 per person, carry-out available at the club 281 E. Whittier St. 443-0524.
