Don't forget the Lenten Time with Fr Peter on March 13th in Camillus! and The Mass for Steve Charma followed by a Soup Supper on March 20th in Utica! For those who came to St John's on Ash Wednesday, please accept our apology. A family commitment caught Bea late. St Lucy's Deaf Group is selling Easter lilies again this year. Order now for pick-up Palm Sunday! This Easter is very special for Keith Redmore, son-in-law of Jane Long. He will be received into the Catholic Church at the Vigil Mass!! Please keep him in your prayers. On February 23rd St Joseph's in Camillus had a Youth Mass at 5 PM. As usual, Fr Peter signed. This time a Deaf youth- Matt Cutler-from Rome signed one of the readings!

Fishing season starts soon:
A little boy was late for Sunday school. His teacher, seeing him slip in, asked him the reason. The boy shuffled his feet for a moment, then told the teacher: "I started out to go fishing instead, but my dad wouldn't let me."
The teacher beamed broadly, "He was quite right not to let you go fishing on a Sunday. Did he explain to you why?"
The little boy nodded. "Oh yes, he said there wasn't enough bait for the two of us."
What does the sign of the fish mean in Christianity? <><
Christians often wear the silhouette of a fish
to designate their beliefs. The Greek word for fish, "icthus,"
mysteriously forms the acronym for the Greek expression
"Jesous Christos Theou Uios Soter." The English translation
is "Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior."
Pretty cool how that worked out, isn't it. Another one of
those "amazing coincidences," right? So go get yourself a
little fishy today and wear it proudly! When people ask you
what it means, you get to share your faith!
