Help the African missions! As we move toward Lent,
give some time in prayer, fasting and charitable giving for bringing the Good
News to the Nations.
The
Lay Dominicans of St. Mary's Priory and Church (5 Hillhouse Avenue, New
Haven, CT) are sponsoring their annual Pancake Breakfast to benefit the Dominican
mission project in Africa , "Father Tom's Kids," on Sunday, March 2 after the
8:00 and 10:00 morning Masses. It's a full breakfast including sausage,
eggs, fruit, and pancakes!
The Dominican Friars of the Province of St Joseph serve in
Africa and "Father Tom's Kids" is their charitable work.
Dominican Father Benedict Croell will talk to the
assembled about his experience in the East African missions.
Tickets are $10 per individual and $20 per family
(immediate members).
This family event could be a good way to begin Lent 2014:
charitable giving and prayer for the African Missions. On Ash Wednesday, fast
for the work of missionaries and for those who have been killed for trying to
preach the Gospel.

Pick up a copy of Mercy in the City by
Kerry Weber (Ignatius Press, $13.95)
How to Feed the Hungry, Give Drink to the Thirsty,
Visit the Imprisoned, and Keep Your Day Job.
The author was afraid that she’d stop seeing Christ
in people. As she rightly says, it takes work to see Christ in the world with
the many distractions we daily face. She wonders, “Have I put in the work?” Does
mercy have a life within you? Acts of mercy can be small, as we are taught by
Saint Therese of Lisieux in her Little Way.
