ANNUAL BLUE MASS AND 9/11 REMEMBRANCE

On September 11, 2022, we will be holding our Annual Blue Mass and 9/11 Remembrance honoring our local First Responders and remembering the tragedy of 9/11, 2001.  There will be only one Mass this day at 9:00 AM.  Local First Responders have been asked to give an item  to be blessed such as a fireman’s hat, medkit, etc.  There will be coffee and donuts in the Fellowship Hall afterwards.  I hope to see everyone there.  Thank you and God bless.

The return of Saint Stephen’s Annual Polish Picnic was a great success.  Over nine hundred and sixty paid attendees, and we appreciate everyone who turned out to support our Parish.  Everyone said that they had a great time and were glad that we were back!  Thanks to everyone, parishioners, friends and family members who worked so hard to make this happen.  A special shout out to our Picnic Committee Chairperson, Jay Rowe for taking on this great responsibility and for working so hard to make this a triumphant return.

STATIONS OF THE CROSS

During the season of Lent we will be praying the Stations of the Cross each and every Wednesday evening starting March 9th and leading up to Holy Week.  I hope that everyone will plan on attending to join together in prayer and reflection and that you urge your families, friends and neighbors to attend as well.  This is a beautiful and moving form of worship and it helps to focus our thoughts and prayers on our Lord and Savior as we reflect on His Passion and Death.

LENT

Today is the first Sunday of Lent.  I hope that everyone is ready to begin our solemn Lenten journey as we follow our beloved Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ along the path of His Passion.  Please be diligent in your daily prayers and meditations during this Lenten Season. Remember also to try to abstain from meat on Fridays as a form of penance in honor of our Lord’s passion and sacrifice. A blessed and prayerful Lent to all.

PRE – LENT

The Season of Pre-Lent, sometimes referred to as Shrovetide, begins today as we celebrate Septuagesima Sunday.  The PNCC continues to observe this season although other rites have abandoned it.  It is marked by the use of Rose colored vestments and a period of merrymaking including Mardi Gras before the solemn observance of Lent begins on Ash Wednesday which this year falls on the second of March.
