As we journey through Lent, we asked our three seminarians to reflect on the Seven Last Words of Christ on the Cross to provide some spiritual insights as we head toward Holy Week.

Come and pray with us for one hour, as the congregation participates in reciting the psalms in an unhurried voice and, at times, in whispered tones. Our scripture prayers reflect The Passion of Jesus Christ, in the format of The Liturgy of the Hours—a good beginning of Holy Week.

Join on on March 6 & 7 from 7:00 – 8:30 PM at St. Hubert Church. Monday, March 6—Love Scripts: How to read God’s Handwriting. Tuesday, March 7—Rejoicing: Happiness and Fulfillment in life. This is a Catholic community effort by the parishes of St. Marcelline, St. Matthew, St. Hubert, and Church of the Holy Spirit.

We invite you to join us for a spirit-filled evening of prayer, song and silence on Thursday, March 2 from 7-8:15 PM in the church. Reflect upon the Lenten calling for prayer, fasting and almsgiving. Individual confessions will also be available.

Join us on Saturday, March 5 in the Parish Ministry Center from 7:30 to 9:00 AM. Our topic this month is Prayer.

We'll be reading Walk in Her Sandals by Kelly M. Wahlquist. Join us upstairs in the Parish Ministry Center for 6 weeks on Thursday mornings from 10:30 AM—Noon for prayer and discussion starting on Thursday, March 2. You'll need to purchase the book from your favorite bookseller and read the first chapter before our first meeting.

This Lenten Season, we’re reflecting as a parish on the sign of the cross, not just as a symbol of our faith or a mark drawn in ashes on our forehead, but as an entrance into prayer. We’ve asked parishioners to share some of their own observations. This reflection is from Christopher Severin, our Interim Music Director, pianist and parishioner:

Fr. Mike shares his thoughts on resisting temptation on the journey toward Easter.

During this sacred season, we will intentionally slow down so that we can pay closer attention to our relationship with God, our neighbors and our planet. Reflect on how the pillars of prayer, fasting and almsgiving can guide your journey for a more enriching Lenten experience. How can practicing these pillars help you to live in solidarity with our sisters and brothers around the world?

This year, we’ll have to experience Holy Week and Easter in a different way.  No, we won’t be able to be together in person, but we’ll unite through the power of prayer and the longing in heart to be with our community that feels like home. Please watch the website to learn more about how we’ll connect as a community of faith here at St. Hubert.  If you haven’t had a chance to sign up for Flock Notes—a way to stay connected through email--now is the time!  We’ll let you know what’s planned. We will travel to Jerusalem, to Golgotha, and will experience the resurrection together in a different way, but a spiritually meaningful way.

Please join us on Tuesday, March 31st at 7:00 PM at St. Matthew Church for our Lenten Multi-parish Communal Reconciliation Service with Individual Confession.

"The Word is a gift. Other persons are a gift"

Please take a Rice Bowl from the basket in the narthex to collect any amount you are able to give during Lent. This can be an opportunity to teach our children, and all in our household, about the meaning of almsgiving.

More than other times of year, during Lent we seek to increase our prayer life and spend quiet time with God. Our help to you is the Little Black Book, one for each household or parishioner as supply lasts. This pocket-sized book is your companion for spending 6 minutes each day walking through the daily Scripture with reflections based on the writings of Bishop Untener, and published by the diocese of Saginaw.

We tend to tie our struggles to the image of bearing our cross. Yet, for Christians, the cross is a symbol of both suffering and triumph over suffering—the glory of the Cross. Death does not win—love triumphs over evil. This year’s Lenten symbol is a cross tied to a purple rope with one knot. Reflect on the knots in your life and tie one knot each week during the 5 weeks of Lent.
