Father Anton's Weekly Column

Third Sunday of Lent Year A

Dear Parishioners,

As we journey towards Easter and the celebration of the Resurrection of the Lord Jesus, many candidates prepare for entrance into the church, to become Catholics. Such a journey, when made in faith, is a time of questioning and discernment, a time of prayer and heart searching. To commit as an adult is a far cry from being a cradle catholic, born into the faith through family baptism. Yet we are all called to be adults in faith, to commit to Jesus and his teachings. Let us pray for all who are entering the church this Easter, that their lives will be changed and fulfilled in Christ.
