St. Patrick’s day is not
just a day to pinch
those who forget to
wear green! It is a day
to reflect on the
courageous and humble Saint Patrick.
Do yourself a favor and research the
amazing journey of this man. He went
from being forced into slavery to later
coming back to evangelize all of
Ireland. You can even watch the movie,
“I am Patrick” (Not rated), on March
17th & 18th showing at two movie
theaters in Lubbock.

Msgr. Ben Kasteel is
recovering from a major
surgery. He is at home and
recuperating. To accelerate
his healing, his caregivers
have requested that he have no visitors
at this time. Msgr. Ben has been a
great friend and supporter of St. John
the Baptist. We pray for his full
recovery and in thanksgiving for the
blessing he is to our Parish. We will
continue to provide updates on his
condition as they become available.
Tuesday, March 24th At 7pm
With Special Guest: Sister Celine Thames, OSF Mark your calendars! All are invited to be
present for this beautiful reflection.
There will be no Stations
