5th Sunday of Lent

Jesus called to his friend from the dead, “Lazarus, come out!” It is the same call our Lord makes to us

unceasingly: “Come out!” Jesus calls us from our tomb of doubt and unbelief, from the darkness of our fear

and anxieties; from the depths of our weaknesses and lack of hope. Christian stewards pray for an open

heart, so that they may hear the voice of the Lord, heed the continuous call to come away from their former

way of living and reprioritize their lives in the light of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Do we believe Christ has

the power to transform our lives? Do we take time to listen for his call?

Deanery Wide Penance Service will be at St. Paul Church this Sunday, April 2 at 2:00 PM.

Other Thing of Interests

St. Michael Fish Fry – St. Michaels Church will serve fish dinners the first six Fridays of Lent March 3 – April 7 from 4:30 – 7:00 PM. See the full menu and prices are on the bulletin board. K of C Serving Lenten Dinners: The Tell City Knights of Columbus will serve Lenten dinners each Friday at the K of C Hall, corner of Tell and 11th Streets. This will continue through Good Friday, April 14. A variety of fish and other seafood will be served. Serving is from 5-8:00 p.m. The public is invited.

Next week, our parish will take up a collection for

the Solidarity Fund for the Church in Africa

(SFCA). While the Church in Africa is growing,

many still lack access to basic resources and pastoral

care. Many suffer due to high rates of poverty and

unemployment, illiteracy, and poor education. The

SFCA supports pastoral projects that foster lasting

peace and reconciliation in a continent often marked

by division and tension. To learn more, visit
