TODAY’S FOCUS –

Third Sunday of Lent:

Wisdom that offers guidance onhow to achieve a goal, such as wealth, isprized. Many people who prize suchwisdom, however, see wisdom that givesguidance on how to live with regard toGod and to others as a waste of time. Letus, as children of God, prize and live bythe wisdom that leads to eternal life,even if others may think of us as foolish.

FOOD PANTRYWesley House

, our local food pantry, for the second year in a row, has been given the opportunity to double any gifts of food or money donated to them during the months of March and April. Mr. Alan Feinstein, Cranston, RI, has announcedthat he will match any donation of food or money contributed to Wesley House; they will receive $1.00 for each pound itemor dollar. If you wish to donate by check, please make it payable to Wesley House and have “Feinstein” on the memo line.

For your information.

***Our parish has supported the Wesley House food pantry for years. It is a great way to centralize the distribution of foodin our community. This eliminates the duplication of efforts. Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Wichita subsidizes thesalary of a full time social worker, Alberta, at Wesley House. This is just one of the ways the Catholic Church providesassistance to those in need in the Pittsburg area.

Please remember to name Our Lady of Lourdes or St. Mary’s Colgan Schools in your will.May we leave a legacy of faith and education for the generations to come.

Please consider informing Fr. Tom or the parish office of your legacy plans, kraus@smcschools.org
