Sacred Journey - Life as Pilgrimage A Morning Reflection on February 23,

2019 – 10 AM What sustains you as you travel life’s journey? Who has accompanied you along your path in life? What symbols and sacred practices nourish your daily sacred journey? Facilitators Sister Eileen Ripsin, OSF, and Patrick Mills, Sylvania Franciscan Associate will examine these questions through gentle prayer movements, guided reflection, silence, and opportunities to share in small groups. The program location is Regina Conference Room, on the Sylvania Franciscan campus, 6832 Convent Blvd., Sylvania OH. The cost is $20. Please RSVP to Sister Joan Jurski, by phone 419-824 -3528 or email jjurski@sistersosf.org. Sister Joan can also answer questions about the program.

DIVORCED AND SEPARATED SUPPORT GROUP We will be meeting at OLPH on Thursday February 21 at 7 pm in meeting room 2. All parishes are wel-come to join our group and you do not have to be Catholic to join us. If you have any questions you may contact Sandy Stricker at 419-865-9704 or Vicki Sweeney at 419-865-0085.

OLL Society of St. Vincent de Paul Now that the Christmas season is behind us, we turn our attention to Lent which begins in a couple of weeks. Many of you will be giving something up for Lent. The OLL Society of St. Vincent de Paul ask you to consid-er something different. The weekend after next, March 2nd and 3rd, you will hear from one of our members tell you about how their participation in the Society has benefitted them, both personally and spiritually. You will also have an opportunity to talk with members of the Society after Mass in the Narthex. We will have a brochure for you to take and read as well as photos of members in action. We ask you to take some time each day to pray that the Holy Spirit will help you discern your role as a practicing Catholic, to fulfill Jesus’ vision of you help-ing the poor and needy. This can be accomplished by considering becoming a member of Our Lady of Lourdes Conference of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. May the Holy Spirit be with and in you today and al-ways. The members of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul
