As Catholics of St. Gianna Parish, in communion with our Archbishop, and our Holy Father, the Bishop of Rome, we are called by Jesus Christ to be His body, the Church, in our local community and to fully live the Gospel.

With faith, hope and charity, we strive to live our discipleship by fervent prayer, inspired worship, sound teaching, and sharing our faith with those in physical and spiritual need.

Ash Wednesday (February 18) and Good Friday (April 3) are days of abstinence for all Catholics over the age of 14. On these two days, fast, as well as, abstinence, is also obligatory for those from the ages of 18-59. Abstinence means refraining from meat. Fast means one full meal a day, with two smaller meals and nothing between meals (liquids are permitted). No Catholic will lightly excuse himself or herself from this obligation.
All Fridays in Lent are days of abstinence from meat. Here again Catholics will not hold themselves lightly excused, but if there is a serious health problem, this obiligation will not apply.

SCRIP SALE PROFITS WILL BE USED FOR A SPECIAL PROJECT CALLED “LIGHTING THE WAY”
Improvements and additions to the Lighting in the parking lot near the classroom entrance, the walkway to the Parish Hall as well as the dumpster area and outside the kitchen door are needed.

There will be a recollection for ladies on Wednesday, March 4, at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish. A priest of Opus Dei will give two reflections on some aspect of the spiritual life, available for confessions and end with Benediction. There will also be a formative talk given by a layperson. The activity begins at 7:15 - 9:30 pm For more information , please contact Mary Schlueter 314-517-1277.

Bible Study sessions for the week of March 2, 2015, include the study of Chapter 13.

Monday morning's session is facilitated by JoAnn Conti, beginning at 9:30 a.m. The Wednesday evening session, regularly led by Ryan Slattery, begins at 7:00p.m. Both sessions last about 1 hour and involve group discussion of the next chapter of the book. The book, Understanding The Scriptures, can be purchased online, in new or used form. (The accompanying workbook is not needed.) A Catholic Bible is also needed for reference. Babysitting is available for both sessions.
