Mass Schedule Ash Wednesday, March 6

8:30 AM Noon

4:30 PM 6:00 PM

Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are to be observed as special days of Fasting and Abstinence. Fasting means reducing the amount of

food which we would normally eat. Abstinence means not eating meat. The law of Fasting binds all those who are between eighteen years of age and

sixty years of age (except for the frail and the sick). Catholics 14 years old and older must abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, and all the Fridays during Lent.

Stations of the Cross A perfect opportunity to connect with the Lenten season is to attend the Stations of the Cross, 6:00 p.m., in the church, each

Friday during Lent:

March 8, 15, 22, 29, April 5, 12

April 19: Good Friday Stations of the Cross with music will begin at 3:00 p.m.

Bereavement Ministry God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in times of trouble. Psalm 46:1

Each person grieves in his or her own way after the loss of a family member or a friend. We invite you to attend our confidential and caring meetings to learn about the grieving process. We will be in room 9 after the 9:00 a.m. Mass the 2nd and 4th Sunday of each month. Join us Sunday, March 10 & 24. We offer our help with love not as professionals.

EXTRAORDINARY EUCHARISTIC MINISTERS OF CARE Urgent need for volunteers

“Loneliness is the most terrible poverty” (Mother Teresa) Have you ever wondered how you would feel if you were unable to attend Mass, receive the Holy Eucharist, or en-joy the fellowship of your parish community? Our Minis-ters of Care have seen this happen to many of our Broth-ers and Sisters in Christ when taking communion to the homebound, assisted living, and care facilities. There are times when they are forgotten by family members, friends and neighborhood communities. Often their par-ish community is the only contact they have with their Catholic faith. God has chosen all of us to share with each other a heart of kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. We have an urgent need for Extra Ordinary Eu-charistic Ministers of Care. For more information, please contact the parish office (480) 838-7474 to learn about this wonderful caring ministry.

“Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody. I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than a person who has nothing to eat.” (Mother Teresa)

Julie Carrick, one of the most effective ministry leaders in the Catholic Church today, brings a passionate message of

faith, hope, and love masterfully woven through her music and personal witness to living the faith. A veteran musician

and composer, Julie has been featured at countless local, diocesan, national and

international events. Julie is a committed witness to the life and love of Jesus

Christ and is sure to touch your heart and soul at Holy Spirit Parish!

Julie Carrick is heard weekly on the Guadalupe

Radio Network at Noon on Mondays as she hosts her program “We Sing Our

Faith” and has been featured on EWTN Backstage and

Life on the Rock and various Catholic TV and

Radio outlets.

Julie is not your typical recording artist. Her real life experiences are shared in her speaking engagements, and formed into the lyric that are

her songs. The workshops she has developed have been

beneficial to thousands of Catholics and other

Christians in their spiritual development. Her witness shares the real heart of a

woman who has experienced some of the toughest things in life and because of her

Catholic faith has stayed the course with Christ. From

dealing with serious marriage issues, helping an adult

daughter through a rape that resulted in pregnancy and

most recently a Lung Cancer survivor, she knows what it means to ‘live’ her Catholic Faith. Though not always ‘easy’ her life has been

blessed with grace when she has needed it most.
