LENT 2014 at MARIA REGINA

Lent is a time of returning to God.  It is a time to confess how we keep looking for joy, peace and satisfaction in the many people and things surrounding us, without really finding what we desire.  Lent is a time of refocusing, of reentering the place of truth, of reclaiming our true identity as beloved sons and daughters of God. Here at Maria Regina, we offer a diverse and exciting Lenten program to supplement the work we each do as Christians in our Prayer Life, our Sacrifing (Fasting) and our Christian Service. Please join us as often as you can!

MARIA REGINA LENTEN BOOK READING PROJECT

The parish of Maria Regina has begun a book reading project for Lent, 2014. The parish is reading "Why Stay Catholic?" by Michael Leach and printed by Loyola Press.  Michael Leach has divided his book into three sections: I IDEAS (A Discussion of the Deposit of Faith)   II PEOPLE (A Discussion of the unnamed saints around us)  III PLACES (A discussion of living in the midst of the holy). We will be meeting in Lent for discussion sessions about the book and the ultimate question: Why Stay Catholic? Let us renew ourselves for the Easter Feast! Free copies of the book are available in the Church or in the Rectory Office.  Discussion evenings are scheduled for:
Wednesday, March 12 - Part I  Ideas     7:30 PM (Auditorium)
