Pro Life Message:

"I am

Norma McCorvey. I became known as Jane Roe on January 22, 1973, when the U.S. Supreme Court released the Roe v. W ade decision, which created a woman's "right to abortion". I am now a child of God, a new creature in Christ; I am forgiven and redeemed. Today, I publicly recant my involvement in the tragedy of abortion. I humbly ask forgiveness of the millions of women and unborn babies who have experienced the violence of abortion. In this place of healing, the National Memorial for the Unborn, I stand with those who honor the worth of every unborn child as created in the image of God. I will strive, in the name of Jesus, to end this holocaust."

Care & Share 2014

March 15 & 16 (2nd Sunday of Lent): If you have already given to the 2014 Care and Share campaign, thank you! If you are still praying about your gift this year or just havent yet returned your gift to our parish, please know that the support of every Catholic household in the Diocese of Great Falls-Billings is important and needed. No gift is too large or too small! The outcome of our support determines the amount of ministry that our Church can offer each year to help local parishes and Catholics throughout our very large diocese. It takes funding to build and grow our Catholic Church, not just to maintain it. There really is no better investment than in the Lord! Your gift WILL make a great difference! Your gift will also help our parish meet our goal for 2014. Thank you very much for your support of Care and Share! Twitter: @SaintMarysMalta

Masses are also encouraged in memory of those loved ones who have died, especially on the anniversaries of their deaths. Contact Fr. Cory for more information!

Operation Rice Bowl

Second week of Lent Reflection: This week, CRS Rice Bowl invites us to enter into solidarity with the people of Guatemala. We are encouraged to reflect on the Catholic social teaching principle, Rights and Responsibilities, and reminded as Christians, we are called to uphold and protect the basic rights of others. Let us pray this week for our brothers and sisters in Guatemala and all around the world, that we may come to know and protect the rights of all people. CRS 2014

Prayer for the Second Week of Lent

This prayer is designed to be said within the family before a Crucifix during the second week of Lent. Prayer: Mother or a child: From the words of St. Paul (Hebrews 12:14). Dearly beloved, let us, having such a cloud of witnesses over us, put away every encumbrance and sin entangling us, and run with patience to the fight set before us; looking towards the author and finisher of faith, Jesus, who for the joy set before him, endured a cross, despising shame, and sit at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him...that you may not grow weary and lose heart. For you have not yet resisted unto blood in the struggle with sin. Father: We ought to glory in the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ... Family: in whom is our salvation, life and resurrection. Father: Let us pray. Grant us, O God, that through the spiritual renewal of Lent, we may grow in our understanding of the mystery of Christ. This we ask of you through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son. Family: Amen. Favor this dwelling, Lord, with your presence. Far from it repulse all the wiles of Satan. Your holy angels let them live here, to keep us in peace. And may your blessing remain always upon us. This we ask of you through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son. Father: Let us bless the Lord. Family: Thanks be to God. Father: May the almighty and merciful Lord, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, bless and keep us. Family: Amen.
