A new website has been developed by the Office of Parish Life in order to help all of us participate in the essential mission of the church – evangelization. The website at www.evangelizebuffalo.org, partly funded by a grant from Our Sunday Visitor, includes resources, available programs, a video of faith stories, ideas for evangelization teams, one-on-one evangelization strategies, a selected bibliography and more. There are methods for enriching the faithful, welcoming newcomers, inviting inactive Catholics, and creating leadership. A section on transforming the world connects evangelization and working for justice. We invite you to visit the site and make use of the very practical ways to bring the Good News of Jesus to others.
Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent and commemorates the start of a period of preparation for Jesus' coming on Easter Sunday. As you start your own Lenten Journey this week, remember the selfless sacrifices of Jesus. With three dollars the cost of feeding a family of four one meal, what can you sacrifice to allow for just a donation of that amount - coffee and a bagel? Remember your neighbors in need, and give as generously as you can to Catholic Charities' 2012 Appeal, benefitting tens of thousands in Western New York. Protect. Strengthen. Empower. Please give to the 2012 Catholic Charities Appeal. Find out more at http://www.ccwny.org or call (716) 218-1400.
