“Could you not watch one hour with me?” (Mk 14:37) JOIN US FOR EUCHARISTIC ADORATION THROUGHOUT THE DAY ON THURSDAYS IN THE CHURCH From 8:30 am to 7:00 pm

Second Sunday in Lent (Cycle B) Pastor’s Corner This Sunday brings us a message of love. One that fills us with enthusiasm. God loved us first, and His love is eternally faithful. Now we know that our life is leading us to a wonderful end; to the arms of God, our Father. The letter of St. Paul which we hear in the second reading fills us with confidence and joy. “If God is for us, who can be against us? God did not spare his own Son but handed him over for us all, how will He not also give us everything else along with Him? Who will bring a charge against God’s chosen ones? What will separate us from the love of Christ? Will anguish, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness or peril, or the sword?” Our heart rejoices because in the Eucharist we have the supreme revelation of the love of God. God loves us, and His love is unconditional and with no regrets. In the Eucharist, God loves us to the point of giving us His only Son as food and nourishment for life.

Segundo Domingo de Cuaresma (Ciclo B)

Rincón del Párroco

Este domingo nos trae un mensaje de amor. Y nos entusiasma. Dios nos amó primero y el amor de Dios es eternamente fiel. Ahora sabemos que en nuestra vida vamos hacia un final maravilloso; hacia los brazos de nuestro Padre, Dios.

“¿No podían velar una hora conmigo?” (Mc. 14, 37) ADORACIÓN EUCARÍSTICA LOS JUEVES DURANTE TODO EL DÍA EN LA IGLESIA De 8:30 am a 7:00 pm

La carta del Apóstol San Pablo que escuchamos en la segunda lectura nos llena de confianza y alegría. “Si Dios está a favor de nosotros, ¿quién puede estar contra nosotros? Dios no nos negó ni a Su propio Hijo sino que lo entregó a la muerte por todos nosotros; ¿cómo no nos dará también con Su Hijo todas las cosas? ¿Quién puede acusar a los que Dios ha escogido? ¿Quién pues nos podrá separar del amor de Cristo? Acaso podrá hacerlo el sufrimiento, o las dificultades, o la persecución, o el hambre, o la falta de ropa, o el peligro, o la muerte?” Nuestro corazón se alegra porque en la Eucaristía tenemos la manifestación suprema del amor de Dios. Dios nos ama y su amor es sin condiciones y sin arrepentimientos. En la Eucaristía, Dios nos ama hasta entregarnos a Su Hijo único como alimento de vida.

Saints this Week/Santos de la Semana March 7, Saints Perpetua and Felicity (believed to have died 203) are Christian martyrs of the 3rd century. Perpetua was a married noblewoman, said to have been 22 years old at the time of her death, and mother of an infant she was nursing. Felicity, a slave imprisoned with her and pregnant at the time, was martyred with her. They were put to death along with others at Carthage in the Roman province of Africa. The Passion of St. Perpetua, St. Felicitas, and their Companions is one of the oldest and most notable early Christian texts. It survives in both Latin and Greek forms, and purports to contain the actual prison diary of the young mother and martyr Perpetua. Scholars generally believe that it is authentic. Marzo 7, Santas Perpetua y Felicidad mártires del siglo tercero, alrededor del año 203. Perpetua, mujer noble de 22 años, casada y madre de un bebé al que amamantaba. Felicidad, su esclava, estaba embarazada y fue martirizada junto con ella. Sufrieron la muerto junto con varios otros en Cártago, en la privincia romana de África. La Pasión de Santa Perpetua, Santa Felicidad y sus compañeros es uno de los textos cristianos más antiguos y notables. Sobrevive tanto en griego como en latín y dice contener el diario que escribió en su prisión la joven madre y mártir Perpetua. Los estudiosos lo consideran auténtico.

The POPE SPEAKS/HABLA EL PAPA Lenten Message, 2015 In order to receive what God gives us and to make it bear abundant fruit, we need to press beyond the boundaries of the visible Church in two ways. In the first place, by uniting ourselves in prayer with the Church in heaven. The prayers of the Church on earth establish a communion of mutual service and goodness which reaches up into the sight of God. Together with the saints who have found their fulfilment in God, we form part of that communion in which indifference is conquered by love. In the second place, every Christian community is called to go out of itself and to be engaged in the life of the greater society of which it is a part, especially with the poor and those who are far away.

Mensaje de Cuaresma, 2015 Para recibir y hacer fructificar plenamente lo que Dios nos da es preciso superar los confines de la Iglesia visible en dos direcciones. En primer lugar, uniéndonos a la Iglesia del cielo en la oración. Cuando la Iglesia terrenal ora, se instaura una comunión de servicio y de bien mutuos que llega ante Dios. Junto con los santos, que encontraron su plenitud en Dios, formamos parte de la comunión en la cual el amor vence la indiferencia. Por otra parte, toda comunidad cristiana está llamada a cruzar el umbral que la pone en relación con la sociedad que la rodea, con los pobres y los alejados.

History Wax Museum History

came

to

life

on

Thursday,

February 19th as the St. Hugh middle school students held the first St. Hugh History Wax Museum. There were many different prominent historical figures on display. The students who had been researching a historical character for three months prior to the event, were dressed in full costume for the night. They gave informative presentations to the parents and guest and even had props on hand to aid them with their projects. At the end of the night, students received awards

for

best

display

and

best

presentation. They all did a wonderful job. We are very proud of them.

Black History Month In honor of Black History Month, St. Hugh School has been teaching our students about the African-Americans in history who have impacted our country. The elementary students focused on subjects including inventors, musicians, poets, scientist, architects, and more. Students were assigned a famous black American from the past or present and were asked to research information about them to complete an assignment. The results were amazing and the projects were put on display in the school hall for all to see. Even our preschoolers joined in by creating a multi-cultural handprint quilt that was hung near the art room. The lessons and projects provided students with an interactive and informative way for celebrating the important contributions African Americans have made to our nation.

Lenten Pretzels In preparation for the season of Lent, the third grade students have been learning about the importance of prayer. Recently they listened to the legend of the pretzel and how a monk formed dough into thin strips crossed into a looped twist like the folded arms of children in prayer. The legend states that the monk would give these treats to children who had learned their prayers. After listening to the story, the students had the opportunity to create and bake their very own pretzels.

Celebrating 70 years of Consecrated Life On January 31st, Archbishop Thomas Wenski celebrated a Mass at St. Mary Cathedral in recognition of the World Day of Consecrated Life. During the mass, Sister Mary Pat Hale was honored on her 70th year of religious life. Sister Mary Pat was the middle school math teacher at St. Hugh for 16 years before her retirement in 2001. She is still very active and remains one of our substitute teachers. Congratulations to her and to the other six religious that were honored at this special mass. May God continue to bless them.
