Worldwide, bicycles outnumber automobiles 2 to 1 but of all the trips taken in the USA, less than one percent is made by bicycles. Bicycling saves fuel and is good exercise. Why not try it??
Liturgical Ministers Please join us for an evening of reflection led by Fr. John Henderson on Weds., March 7th @ 7PM Journey To Our Father’s House From an article in Feb., US Catholic by Alice Camille. “Following this Lord means being led along a road we have not traveled before and probably would not choose.” “We can’s get where Jesus is taking us by working hard, by reasoning it out, by pulling out maps and plotting a course. We can only get where Jesus is going by permitting ourselves to be led into the unknown.”

St. Mary’s Book Group The group meets the 2nd Tuesday of each month from 7 to 8:30 PM rotating among participant’s homes. In February, the group discussed My Life with the Saints by Fr. James Martin SJ. The book is a wonderful and spiritual memoir by his sharing his own spiritual journey. Martin offers the reader an intimate insight into the holy men and women he looks to as inspirational companions. He depicts them as individuals with struggles, foibles and difficulties just like each one of us face in our own day to day trials to live as God would have us live. In March, the group will be discussing Twelve Extraordinary Women: How God Shaped Women of the Bible and What He Wants to Do with You by John MacArthur. If you would like to learn more about St. Mary’s Book Group or would like to join us, please call Elaine Young @ 541 619-6106 or email peyoung2@comcast.net
