Dear Father Matt, Thank you so very much for your support in promoting the yearly Retirement Collection for Religious. We sent a check for $223,949.36 to the National Religious Retirement Office from our Diocese. St. Francis of Assisi Parish donated $11,358. Please extend my gratitude to your parishioners, for this generous contribution, and for their ongoing support of senior religious and their communities.

Our Gospel on this 5th Sunday of Lent, turns to the 11th chapter of John. For John, this is the moment, the miracle, the final sign that Jesus would work— because those whose very existence he threatened would be tolerant no more.
