Dear Family,
Our Lenten theme this weekend is Forgiveness. Each day
when we pray the Our Father, we ask God to forgive us in the
same way we forgive one another. This is a powerful
statement
that we express to God our Father. Oftentimes, we must step
beyond our feelings of hurt or pain t o forgive those around
us
who intentionally or unintentionally offend us. Forgiveness is
a
way of loving others and allowing God to heal them and also to
heal our-
selves. Each day and before we fall asleep each night, we should
forgive
others from our hearts. Forgiveness is the pathway to inner
peace.
You are invited this Tuesday night, March 27th at 7pm to come to
the
Communal Reconciliation Service at St. Joseph Church in
Lockport. This
Reconciliation is sponsored by St. Joseph Parish and St. Dennis
Parish.
Come and celebrate the gift of forgiveness for yourself and for
others.
In the Lords Love,
Fr. Jim Curtin
Our Mission StatementSt. Dennis is a welcoming, Spirit-led,
Catholic Community called to be
disciples of Christ, servants of those in need and celebrators
of Gods love.
