The key to understanding the meaning of Lent is simple: Baptism. Preparation for Baptism and for renewing baptismal commitment lies at the heart of the season. Since the Second Vatican Council, the Church has reemphasized the baptismal character of Lent, especially through the restoration of the Catechumenate and its Lenten rituals. Our challenge today is to renew our understanding of this important season of the Church year and to see how we can integrate our personal practices into this renewed perspective.

For August, we will be celebrating on August 19th and not on August 13th. We will have the entrance procession of the Statue of our Lady of Fatima at the 4:00pm mass. Then a bi-lingual rosary devotions for world Peace and for the USA at 6:00pm
Since our parish Mary, Queen of the Holy Rosary is under her patronage and the centenary is a once in a life time occurrence, it is fitting that we commemorate these apparitions and apply the messages to our 21st century.
