A spiritually fruitful Lent doesn’t happen by accident. We all struggle with habitual sin. No matter how hard we seem to try, it feels impossible to get it out of our life! These habitual sins often have roots in a deeper reality we haven’t yet uncovered, which is why they’re so hard to overcome. In SetFree: Daily Lenten Reflections on overcoming the seven deadly sins, Fr. Josh Johnson helps viewers uncover the root causes of sin and eliminate it at its source. If you’re interested in joining Fr. Josh, go to https://ascensionpress.com/pages/frjoshlent and sign up for the waitlist to be notified as soon as the series becomes available.
We still need your help with our Beacon of Faith Campaign. Our parish goal is $406,000. Everyone is asked to give, but not everyone is asked to give the same amount. Your gift can be made as a pledge payable over a 1 to 5 year period on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis, or as a one time donation. We know money can be tight during the Christmas season, but you can still sign up at the beginning of the new year as well. Complete your pledge card (located in the church) and select the timeframe of your payments. If you choose to make a down payment via check, please make it payable to Diocese of Springfield Beacon of Faith. Pledging online is very easy. Go to: www.givecentral.org/Beacon-of-Faith-23 and pay by credit card or bank account.
