READING CATHOLIC COMMUNITY
Dynamic Parish Initiative
Wherever you are in your spiritual journey, our Dynamic Parish initiative is about helping you take the next
small step toward becoming a Dynamic Catholic. As described in previous bulletins, Dynamic Catholics are
those who live by four behaviors: they have a daily commitment to prayer; continue to learn about our faith
(Jesus wants disciples not just followers); serve generously with their time, talent and treasure; and invite
others to grow spiritually by sharing the love of God with them. They want to help others experience the joy
that flows from having a close relationship with God.
As part of our Dynamic Parish Initiative, we’d like to invite everyone in our community to participate in the
Best Lent Ever program. By joining, you will receive a 3-minute video reflection each morning starting on Ash
Wednesday, to Easter. The reflections feature Matthew Kelly and are based on the book we handed out at
Christmas, Rediscover the Saints. Take 10 minutes each day to listen to the video and reflect on its message.
Pick up a Best Lent Ever Journal to help you in your daily contemplation.
As we often hear from our priests, Lent shouldn’t be focused simply on what we give up, but on who we
become through the disciplines of prayer, fasting, and generosity. Let’s all move toward becoming a-better-
version-of-ourselves and discover together the amazing possibilities God has in store for each of us this Lent.
It’s simple to sign up at BestLentEver.com. The Best Lent Ever Journals are located by the doors of each
Church.
The Dynamic Parish Implementation team is: Chrissy Cerretani, Paula Colpitts, Janet Davidson-Dee, Diane
Finigan, Martha Jane Gagnon, John Guanci, John Silva, Lisa Tavoletti, Fr. Steve Rock, Fr. Victor Vitug, Deacon
Neil Sumner
Early Release Day
Whether watched on television network news or
viewed on YouTube, video of a deployed military
person’s surprise return home demonstrates the
power of unexpected surprise. A shout of unbelief, a running leap into the arms, a hug and tears of joy all
show the importance of presence.
We Knights wish to encourage moms and dads to consider taking an early release day this coming week.
Offer your family an unexpected surprise and join the Reading Catholic Community at Saint Athanasius for
the 3:00 PM Liturgy of the Word with Ashes on Ash Wednesday February 26th. As we begin our Good Friday
Family Promotion help us, “Bring families into more robust practice and better understanding of our Catholic
faith and the triduum.” Together with the entire Reading Catholic Community, let us take advantage of the
many Lenten programs available, and make this our best Lent ever!

The Week at a Glance
Food for Family Thought
The Kingdom of God happens not only in the future,
but also in the present. Those who follow Jesus are
called to do what we can; to establish justice; to
reduce oppression; and to promote the common
good. Talk with your child about current events that
illustrate how people are bringing about positive
change.
Salamat, A Filipino “Thank You”
Due to your generosity, we raised $1229 for the
people of the Philippines suffering from the effects of
an active volcano. Our donated funds were sent to
Fr. Paul Perlado, Secretary, Capuchin Philippine
Office. There, the funds will provide face masks as
well as needed emergency supplies to the many
displaced people within the Philippines. Again,
Salamat to each of you for your continued generosity
to people in need world-wide.

Little Lenten Book
The books are available at the churches’ entrances.
This book is filled with daily reflections. Feel free to
take one and perhaps even another to share with
family or friend!
Fridays at 7:00pm at St. Agnes Church
Meditate on the intense sacrifice Jesus undertook for
our salvation.
Lenten Regulations
Abstinence -- Catholics over 14 years of age are
bound to the obligation of abstinence. Abstinence is
to be observed on Ash Wednesday and on all Fridays
of Lent. On days of abstinence, meat may not be used
at all.
Fast -- Catholics over 18 and up to the beginning of
their 60th year are bound to the obligation of fasting.
Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are the days of
fasting. On these days, only one full meal is allowed.
Two other meatless meals, sufficient to maintain
strength, may be taken according to each one’s
needs, but together they should not equal another
full meal. Eating between meals is not permitted, but
liquids, including milk and fruit juices are allowed.
Commendable, particularly during Lent, is generosity
to local, national and world programs of sharing our
abundance.
All are invited to break bread with fellow St. Agnes
and St. Athanasius parishioners: young, old, new to
the community, parents, children, grandparents,
friends: come one, come all!
“Lent is a time of going very deeply into
ourselves… What is it that stands between us and
God? Between us and our brothers and sisters?
Between us and life, the life of the Spirit?”
~ Catherine Doherty
Catherine Doherty’s cause for canonization as a saint
was opened by Pope John Paul II in 2000, and she has
been given the official title Servant of God
of prayer, fasting and abstinence, and
deepen our relationship with Christ.
and helps us reflect on our lives.
between us and God.
Jesus' message of love.
