The St. Maurice Hunger Program supports 7 sites in Haiti?
Volunteers have collected a lot of items needed by victims of the earthquakes in Haiti. We want to thank both the volunteers at the container and those who donated the items requested. We were able to fill over 3/4 of the 40′ container. God bless you and the poor thank you.
There is current information about the projects in Haiti. Click on the Haiti feature on the front page.

The Lenten Season - Our Struggle With Temptation
Take the time to read the reflection and Justice Corner in the bulletin. They remind us that God’s own son shared that struggle with us. Sometimes we feel most vulnerable because we have to struggle.
Yet many writers point out that the temptation that reveals our own vulnerability opens us to our need for God’s strength. In fact they say that God is closest to us when we know that our own strength does not carry the day for us in our battle with evil within and without. Sometimes God makes his presence known to us in the others with whom we share the struggle here and now.
Important Notice Changes in Location:
Just Faith, Parish Council and Finance Committee meetings will take place at the Resurrection Church Site.
Family Soup and Stations of the Cross
A sizable number of the family gathered on Friday at 5:30 pm in the chapel. They joined Father Roger as he led them in following Jesus on his way to His death on Calvary. The meditations and prayers centered on peace.
Following the stations many participants moved to the social hall. There they shared bread and soup together as part of their practice of fasting on Fridays during lent.
Family soup and stations will take place each Friday in lent prior to Holy Week.
