FOURTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

Bishop Campbell is calling the faithful to end homelessness. Day to End Homelessness is the faith communitys response to the sharp rise in homelessness and its ravaging effects on our neighbors in central Ohio. In the last two years, thousands of area congregants answered the faith communitys call to end homelessness. Money raised will benefit programs of Community Shelter Board to help people find secure housing and rebuild their lives.

People are turning to shelters in record numbers. Community Shelter Board and partner agencies served 27% more children and 16% more adults in 2012, compared to 2011. More than 2,100 children were homeless last year. 56% of families entering emergency shelter have never before experienced homelessness. On too many nights, adults have nowhere to go - turned away from shelters that are filled to capacity. A critical source of federal funding ended this year just when needs have reached an all-time high. Community Shelter Board was forced to close successful programs putting already vulnerable residents at greater risk.

LECTIO DIVINA As a bulletin insert during Lent you will find literature on Lectio Divina (Holy Reading) - an explanation of the readings for daily Mass. Lectio Divina is part of the Benedictine spirituality which includes reading, prayer, meditation and contemplation. OPERATION RICE BOWL Supplies at entrances to PLC

et us not use bombs and guns to overcome the world. Let us use love and compassion. Peace begins with a smile. Smile five times a day at someone you dont really want to smile at all. Do it for peace. Let us radiate the peace of God and so light his light and extinguish in the world and in the hearts of all men all hatred and love for power.
~Mother Teresa
