A BEREAVEMENT SUPPORT GROUP, sponsored by CTK Bereavement Committee has been organized for all persons grieving the death of a loved one. When we lose a loved one by death, we are wounded.

The program will consist of six sessions beginning Wed., March 17th, and every other Wednesday through May 26th. This year, we are offering afternoon sessions beginning at 1:00 p.m. and evening sessions beginning at 7:00 p.m. in the Church Library. For more information, please call Linda Maslona at 839-2363.

Also, if you are a Eucharistic Minister, or would like to become one to bring the Eucharist to the homebound and sick, please call Linda.

LENT IS HERE… and it is a time when we each need to look at our own life, and how we live our faith. One of the best ways to live Lent is to begin at the end. The night before Jesus died, He said: "I will call you friends." Let us live our Lent this year as a friendship. Have you considered Eucharistic Adoration as your Lenten Spiritual dedication to God? There are six weeks in Lent, can you commit to six hours of Adoration during this time? If so please fill in the form at the Adoration Chapel and place it in the box outside of the Chapel.

YOUR SPIRIUTALLY ADOPTED BABY - FIVE MONTHS - Your spiritually adopted baby weighs over one pound now. His mother can feel him moving now. Before he was too small for her to feel.

We are mid-way through the pregnancy now. Your prayers have helped your baby's mother continue with her pregnancy and seek the help she needs.

TARGET WEEKEND!!!!
CATHOLIC CHARITIES APPEAL 2004
This weekend is the Target Weekend for returning Catholic Charities donations. You are asked to look into your heart and give as much as you can. If you are able, please consider increasing your donation this year. Please indicate the amount of your donation on the card, enclose it with a check or cash and return it in today's collection or by mail.
Your support of this year's Appeal is vital. Please consider increasing your donation this year by pledging a larger amount, and making payments in several installments. A gift of $100 is less than $2 per week. Try to join the Large Gift donor group by giving a minimum of $250. This is what helps make our parish go over the top every year. Let us show Fr. Joe Sicari (Director of Catholic Charities who assists at Christ the King), our support.
If you are employed by a firm that "matches gifts" to charitable institutions, secure a form from your personnel office and forward the completed form to the Catholic Charities Appeal Office. Your contribution is used to bring strength and stability to the community. Please give generously!
For more details on Catholic Charities, call 856-4494 or visit our website - www.ccwny.org.
