Good News
The Gospel tells us about the Beatitudes and how "blessed" we are when we do good to and for others. Jesus rewards the good with the kingdom of heaven. We begin the holy season of Lent this coming Wednesday. Ash Wednesday is a day of FAST and ABSTINENCE.

CCD NEWS - First Communion Class will meet Sun. Feb. 3rd at Holy Spirit from 10:15 - 11:45 AM. Next regular classes are Sun. Feb. 10th . Grades 1-6 will meet at Holy Spirit from 10:15-11:45 AM. Grades 7-8-9 will meet from 6:00 - 7:30 PM, and Confirmation Class students and sponsors meet 4:00 - 7:00 PM.

There will be a Rosary Sodality meeting this Sunday, Feb. 3rd at 1:30 PM in the church hall. Refreshments will be served.

Ash Wednesday Masses will be at 7:30 AM at St. Joseph followed by distribution of ashes. At 3 PM, ashes will be distributed at St. Joseph church. At 7 PM, Mass will be said at Holy Spirit followed by ashes. This is a time to prepare for the death and resurrection of the Lord.

LENTEN REGULATIONS: Abstinence from meat is to be observed by all Catholics 14 and older on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday and all the Fridays of Lent. Fasting is to be observed by all Catholics 18 and older but not yet 59 on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. Fasting means having only one full meal a day. Two smaller meals are permitted if necessary to maintain strength, but eating solid foods between meals is not permitted.

The Stations of the Cross will be said after Mass every Friday during Lent.

Holy Spirit Fish Fry's will be held every Friday during Lent. The cost is $8.00 per person. Meal time is 5:30 PM.

Next weekend, we will begin our annual Partners in Charity Appeal with the In-Pew envelope. If you wish to leave your donation you may, if not, bring it back next week. St. Joseph's goal is $7,000. Please help us to achieve this goal.

120 CLUB tickets are for sale before and after Masses.

Church in Latin America Appeal - the proceeds from this appeal, to be taken up on Feb. 9th & 10th, are distributed to dioceses, parishes and other Catholic institutions throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. When we contribute to this collection, we are actively living out our call to stewardship. Please be generous.
