You can keep up with the progress of the reconstruction of our Religious Education building on our Facebook page and our website. Notice the brick work going up all around the new building.
In this Sunday’s Gospel reading we have one of the most well known and most quoted verses of the bible. “God so loved the world that he gave his only son so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but have eternal life.” During Lent, we enter into a time of purification and penance. We are called to live out the mandate that Jesus has set for us. As he came to give us salvation and redemption, we are called to carry forth his love to bring about the kingdom of God here on Earth.
In this Sunday’s Gospel we witness the glory of Jesus in the transfiguration and how this transformation foreshadows the glory to be given to all who remain faithful to him. We are pleasing to Jesus when we live as he did. We experience Jesus’ presence in the goodness and kindness of others, in the community gathered for liturgy and prayer and is transformed by that love in which we share.
Prayer for DSF 2024 Loving Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, with grateful hearts we acknowledge that We are the Lord’s. In sending your beloved Son, you made us your sons and daughters and summon us to respond in thanksgiving as we help those in need. Inspire us to give generously to the Diocesan Services Fund, so that the saving mission of Jesus may be continued in the world. Bless this campaign which we undertake in your name, and grant that by serving you in those most in need, we may show forth the power of Christ in all we do. Through Christ Our Lord. Amen.
One year ago, this week on January 24, 2023, a Tornado that nearly destroyed our community of Deer Park. We are still grateful to God for safely delivering us all through the storm. Now the real work begins again. If you have been following the progress on the rebuild on our Facebook page, you see there has been a tremendous about of progress. Please continue to pray for the community of Deer Park and the St. Hyacinth community.
