Today, we continue our journey during Ordinary Time, with a little less than a month to go before we commemorate the beginning of Lent, since Lent falls late in our liturgical calendar this year, falling on March 5. Today, we have commitment Sunday for the Catholic Service Appeal. We are very thankful for the ways the different ministries of our Diocese are helped by the appeal. I am very thankful for our parishioners who give generously to the Catholic Service Appeal. There are precepts of the Church outlined by the Catechism, which Catholics are called to follow. One of the precepts is to attend Mass on Sundays and on holy days of obligation. Another precept is to help provide for the needs of the Church, meaning that the faithful are obliged to assist with the material needs of the Church, each according to his own ability. Helping out financially in our parish and our Diocese are a part of this. We all are called to reflect upon the ways we are fulfilling this duty. Thank you for helping out our parish and our Diocese in so many different ways. Father Lincoln.
