LENTEN CRAB CAKE
FUNDRAISER
In lieu of fish fries as a parish activity and fund-
raiser this Lenten season, Our Knights of Columbus
Council has volunteered to host a Captain Chucky’s
crab cake sale.
Order forms are at the rear of each worship site
with instructions for payment and pick up. Orders
must be placed by noon on Monday, March 23.
All profits will be used to help overcome the lost
snow-Sunday offertory and to defray the recent high
utility bills.
Thanks for your order and support.
PENNY MISSION NEWS
The Penny Mission is still going strong in our parish.
Since 1997, when the Mission started, we have col-
lected $12,504 in donated pennies.
Thank you to all of our faithful penny savers.
Some of the recipients were: Darfur, Sudan, Niger,
and Uganda, Haiti, Dominican Republic, India, In-
donesia and Mongolia.
Funds have also supported the Mission projects of
our own Rosary Lady, Libby James, and Father
John’s Missionhurst Order.
New containers have been placed in the back of each
worship site. Feel free to take a can home and fill it
with your leftover pennies.
Once the can is full, return it to the back of one of the
worship sites or to the Rectory.
Thank you for supporting our Penny Mission and
may God bless you for your concern and willingness
to share with the poor in our world.
If you have any questions concerning this project
please call Jean Moulder at 610-857-2740.
KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS NEWS
The Knights are please to report a profit of $1,750
from their March 1, Knight at the Races, held at the
Schneider Parish Center.
Our Early Learning Center will receive $1,500 and
$250 will be donated to the parish to assist in meet-
ing our recent larger than normal utility costs.
Many thanks to all who assisted with this event.

CAFÉ LENTEN STUDY BEGINS
MARCH 4
We are all looking forward to Spring, especially af-
ter this cold and snowy winter. So too should we be
yearning to celebrate the glorious feast of our Lord's
Resurrection at Easter.
In order to prepare more fully for our Church's ho-
liest of days, we invite you to join us on Tuesday
evenings for a faith-sharing Lenten Study.
We will meet weekly from 7:00-8:00pm in the
Schneider Parish Center, through April 8.
At these meetings we will read and discuss the
Scripture passages for the upcoming Sunday Litugy.
The study book suggests ways to grow closer to
Jesus during the week, and those who are comforta-
ble doing so can share their progress on these efforts
at the next meeting.
Due to the enthusiastic response to these studies in
the past, we are planning to meet in two of the class-
rooms on the lower level of the SPC.
If you would like to join us, please send a message
to [email protected] or call Sue Brown
at 610-857-2026. The cost of the class is only $10.
and includes a daily devotional
book in addition to the study book.
REDISCOVER THE LOVE IN YOUR
MARRIAGE!
The Retrouvaille Marriage Program offers help for
struggling marriages. It gives you the chance to re-
discover yourself and your spouse.
Tens of thousands of couples headed for divorce
have successfully saved their marriages by attending
a Retrouvaille weekend and the six post sessions
that follow it.
Retrouvaille is not just a social gathering or series of
seminars, but rather a way to rediscover and rekin-
dle the loving relationship in your marriage.
The next program begins on the weekend of April
25-27 at the Family Life Center in Malvern, Pa.
For more information, or to register for our upcom-
ing weekend, visit our web site at
www.HelpOurMarriage.com or call 1-800-470-
2230. All inquiries are kept strictly confidential.
ZUMBA
Come join the fun at Zumba class on Monday nights
from 6:30-7:30pm.
It’s easy to learn and fun for all ages!
All of the profit goes to benefit the Early Learning
Center.
So get some exercise...have fun...and help out!
Every 2nd Monday of the month class will be held
one half hour earlier, from 6:00-7:00 pm.
ST. JOSEPH’S PREPARATORY
SCHOOL
We were recently informed that John Edelman, a
parishioner and a student at St. Joseph’s Preparatory
School has been listed on the Academic Honor Roll
for the first semester of the 2013-2014 academic
year.
Every man shall give as he is able, according to
the blessing of the LORD your God which He has
given you." —Deuteronomy 16:17
Following God in any area of your life brings
change. When you begin to handle your money the
way God outlines in more than 800 Scriptures,
you'll be on your way to changing your family tree
forever.
Dumping debt and saving toward wealth will do
that. But here's something we need to keep in mind.
There's no room for selfishness in a heart full of
gratitude!
Giving is an expression that flows out of a grateful
heart. It's honoring God with what He's blessed us
with. It's displaying the love of Jesus, plain and
simple.
Remember His response when James and John
asked to be seated next to Him in heaven?

Pray for others
Pray by name for people you don’t like and for
people who don’t like you.
Pray for those ,e.g., children, parents, spouse, sib-
lings, who have left the church.
Pray for people whose hardships are reported daily
on the news.
Pray for deceased family and friends.
“Prayer and fasting are good, but better than either
is almsgiving accompanied by righteousness ... It is
better to give alms than to store up gold; for alms-
giving saves one from death and expiates every sin.
Those who regularly give alms shall enjoy a full
life" (Tobit 12:8-9).
ALMSGIVING: In the past we have always
provided opportunities for almsgiving during Lent
by taking a Second Collection for Operation Rice
Bowl through which we have funded programs that
fed the hungry and provided for other human needs
of the poor. Since we have sworn off Second Col-
lections this year, we will be providing 5% of our
Offertory collection during Lent to fund these pro-
grams. Therefore, you are encouraged to increase
your Lenten Offertory by 5% as well to allow us to
fulfill this Gospel mandate to give alms, “through
which there is forgiveness of sin”.
