Updates and Upcoming Events, Fifth Week of Lent

From the Sunday Gospel Reading: ‘Now the hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. I tell you, most solemnly, unless a wheat grain falls on the ground and dies, it remains only a single grain; but if it dies, it yields a rich harvest. Anyone who loves his life loses it; anyone who hates his life in this world will keep it for the eternal life. If a man serves me, he must follow me, wherever I am, my servant will be there too. If anyone serves me, my Father will honour him. (John 12:20-33). Follow this link for reflections by Dr. Scott Hahn on the readings this Sunday.
