Dear Parishioners, You may have heard through the grapevine that Fr. Ben will be going on sabbatical this summer. Now a sabbatical means different things to different professions. You will hear some further details this weekend about what Fr. Ben’s sabbatical will look like. It will involve ministry and Fr. Ben’s plan to return to Vietnam. His sabbatical will begin the end of June and will last for several months. To help support his work and ministry during this upcoming sabbatical, you will be hearing how to help support Fr. Ben (Spoiler alert: it involves eggrolls). Also, in case you are wondering, the beginning of Lent is only a week and a half away! We will be offering three Masses on Ash Wednesday and the distribution of Ashes at each of these Masses. Next weekend in the bulletin we will feature a full schedule of upcoming Lenten events and spiritual experiences (Retreat, Stations, Lenten talks) that we will be offering during Lent 2023 here at St. Catherine. Thanks for reading!
