Announcements for the week: Second Sunday of Lent

Please pray for Fr. Gilchrist, the pastor of St. Joseph's Church in Olathe, Colorado who is experiencing trouble with the department of immigration. Should the attempts to keep him here fail, he will have no choice but to return to New Zealand, at least for a while. Pray that whatever is to happen, let it be done according to the will of God.

Friday February 22, 2008, there will be Mass at 7:00 P.M. at the Chapel followed by Stations of the Cross.

St. Michael's Convent in Spokane, Washington will be holding a "Vocations Weekend" retreat for young women who are at least juniors in high school up to the age of 35 and might be interested in religious life. "Vocations Weekend" will be taking place from February 29 to March 2, 2008. It is a good idea to make your plans known to the Vocations Directress by Wednesday, February 20.
