Diocesan Development Drive
Last Year's Palms
Please place old palms in the basket in the church foyer to be burned for Ash Wednesday Masses. Palms will be burned Monday, March 3 at 6:30 p.m.
Lent
Lent begins with Ash Wednesday on Wednesday, March 5. Masses will be at 9:00 a.m. with the school and 6:30 p.m..
Ash Wednesday is not a Holy Day of Obligation, but is a day of fasting and abstinence. Fasting is a spiritual exercise and can draw us nearer to God. Catholics are required to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. Abstaining from meat is also obligatory on all Fridays during Lent. For those aged 14 to 59 without health concerns fasting means eating one full meal and two smaller meals that together do not equal a full meal.
Fasting purifies the soul. It lifts up the mind, and it brings the body into subjection to the spirit. It makes the heart contrite and humble, scatters the clouds of desire, puts out the flames of lust and enkindles the true light of chastity. ~ Saint. Augustine
Rosary Prayer
Wednesday, February 19 at 7:00 p.m. in the church. We will pray for an end to Abortion and Human Trafficking

OCIA - An Invitation to Come
Please pray for our catechumens and candidates. As we prepare to enter into the season of Lent, our catechumens and candidates are entering a final and more intense time of preparation. It is considered a period of purification and enlightenment and will include two of the three scrutinies. These are solemn rites which give spiritual strength to the catechumens.
On March 8 our catechumens will participate in the Rite of Election at the Cathedral of the Madeleine. This marks the time when the catechumens will affirm their commitment to enter the Church. After this rite, they are called the Elect as they journey through Lent and towards their sacraments of initiation. Weekly sessions are held covering topics that help them grow in faith. The topics for March are:
March 2: Lent
Tuesday, March 11: Anointing of the Sick
March 16: Catholic Social Teaching
March 23: Faith and Creed
March 30: Salvation
All are welcome to attend any of the sessions. If you have questions, please contact Evan and Kevin at StOlafOCIA@gmail.com.

Our Mission
PRAYER TO MAKE A “SPIRITUAL COMMUNION”
Saint Teresa of Avila wrote: “When you cannot receive Communion and cannot attend Mass, you can make a spiritual communion, which is a most beneficial practice; by it the love of God will be greatly impressed on you.”
My Jesus,
I believe that you are present
in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love you above all things,
and I desire to receive you into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment
receive you sacramentally,
please come spiritually into my heart.
I embrace you now
as if you were already there
and I unite myself wholly to you.
Never permit me
to be separated from you.
Amen
