Dear Family, We welcome Fr. Aniello to our parish for another visit! Please join him for a special evening Experiencing the Awesome Love of God this Sunday at 7pm in the Church. The Shores of Grace team and Nic and Rachel Billman would like to thank St. Dennis for our warm welcome, love and generosity toward them during their Winter Tour visit. Because of our generosity, they were able to purchase a new house for Project Bethany, which helps to rescue girls from prostitution. It is much larger than their previous rescue house, with a large yard for the children to run and play. The house will comfortably hold 12-15 girls. It would not have been possible for them to purchase this house at this time without the support of St. Dennis. I would like to encourage all individuals and families of the parish to sign up for events in our G.I.F.T. program, Grow In Faith Together. The Lord is drawing us close to Him this Lent. I believe the G.I.F.T. program gives us all an opportunity to do that. G.I.F.T. booklets are available in the Narthex or on our website at www.saint-dennis.org. In the Lords Love, Fr. Jim Curtin

Sin is before all else an offense against God, a rupture of communion with him. At the same time it damages communion with the Church. For this reason conversion entails both Gods forgiveness and reconciliation with the Church, which are expressed and accomplished liturgically by the sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation.

We would like to introduce the Walking With Faith Cross. It has the same concept as the Giving Tree at Christmas, but only shoes are purchased for those in need and they do not need to be wrapped. Please attach the tag that you take from the cross to the shoes you purchase and place them under the cross. The shoes will benefit those at the Daybreak Shelter, Lambs Fold, Vilaseca Day Care Center and the Guardian Angel Home. All shoes must be placed under the Walking With Faith Cross by Sunday, March 24th. As always, thank you for your generosity and support to those in need this Lenten season.
