Answers inside this Bulletin
Keep our all our students in your prayers. Confirmation: 2:00 p.m. on March 31st At All Saints-St. Hedwig’s First Communion will be in each parish on the weekend of April 27th and 28th. Graduation Mass will be in each parish on the weekend of May 18th and 19th.
In addition to pink candies and heart shaped cookies, and of course valentines , We talk about the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Sacred Heart of Jesus and pray special devotions to them on this day. This helps when we say things like I give you my heart, to really start to understand what our hearts are to God. We also sing a song called "Create in me a Clean Heart" so that we can talk about how in giving one another our hearts in earthly love, we need to be as pure as possible and only Christ's heart can help purify ours. Just a few thoughts for tying in the depth of catholic 'stuff' about hearts since this is the secular feast of the HEART!!! Remember your parish priests and religious sisters on Valentine's Day! ~catholic mom.com
