As we come to the end of Winter Ordinary Time, the faith community joyfully embraces the season of Lent. Let us together, staff, clergy and parishioners prayerfully reflect how we will Live out Lent as we Live in the Eucharist. Our staff and clergy hope this Winter Ordinary time was in some way a chance to become closer to our Lord. Come join me for daily Mass and confessions.

1. Everyone 14 years of age or over is bound to abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday and all the Fridays of Lent. 2. Everyone 18 years of age and under 59 years of age is bound to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. 3. On these two days of fast and abstinence, only one full meatless meal is allowed. Two other meatless meals, sufficient to maintain strength, may be taken according to each one's needs, but together they should not equal another full meal. Eating between meals is not permitted on these two days, but liquids, including milk and fruit juices are allowed. When health or ability to work would be seriously affected, the law does not oblige. 4. To disregard completely the law of fast and abstinence is seriously sinful. 5. Lent is the principal season of penance in the Christian year. All of the faithful are strongly urged to develop and follow a program of voluntary selfdenial (in addition to following the Lenten regulations), serious prayer, and a performance of works of charity and mercy.

This week, you are asked to review the Annual Appeal tabloid that you have received with your bulletin today. The Annual Appeal campaign is much different than a one-time special collection. It is a pledge campaign where you can make a gift payable over ten months. A significant gift to the Catholic Ministries Annual Appeal will touch the lives of many others in a very positive way. The Annual Appeal provides a significant portion of the budget of the Diocese of Joliet. Most dioceses in the country conduct an appeal, once a year, to help with the costs of providing services and programs to their parishes and people. The Diocese of Joliet is no exception. As you review the work enabled by your contribution to the CMAA, please reflect on Gods gifts to you. Everything we have is a blessing from God. Your gifts to our parish, to the diocese, and to the work of the church throughout the world should be given in gratitude for the continuing gifts that God gives you. He never forgets you. Sometimes it is difficult to envision how one pledge can help an organization the size of our diocese and how it can make a real difference. But each pledge does make a difference because all parishes participate in the campaign and the gifts of many enable our diocese to deliver needed education, ministry, and services. Our combined gifts not only signify our gratitude to God, they glorify Him by enabling the important work of our diocese that cant be done as individuals or at the parish level. If you received your pledge form in the mail, please complete it and mail it back or bring it to Mass next weekend. For those of you that did not receive a mailing or have not had time to respond to it, we will conduct our in-pew pledge process at all Masses next weekend. After our parish exceeds its CMAA goal in paid pledges, 50% of any additional funds are returned for use in our parish. If you have received a refund for the success of your parishs 2011 Appeal, it is important to mention that in this announcement.

CHRIST THE KING FINANCE COUNCIL Meeting minutes for January 18, 2012 The Finance Council met on the evening of January 18th. Rick Cosenza, Lori Bhardwaj, Brian Carnahan, Elaine Ward, and Father Peter. We opened in prayer, and Jill Placey joined us to provide an update on the school. All is well at the school. The Diocese approved of us opening a new preschool class for next school year. Financially, we are current on all bills, and expenses are in line with expectations. The Christmas collection came in at $29,800 which was less than what was budgeted. Nevertheless, we truly appreciate all those who have contributed. On a positive note, giving in December was up 5% over the previous year. The increase is likely due to the Annual Stewardship Appeal where nearly 300 families have committed to give a little extra in the coming year. Our next meeting is scheduled for February 15th.
The Knights of Columbus wish to thank all who attended our parish Pancake Breakfast on Sunday February 12. Another 4 star breakfast was served along with good fellowship.

FOR TEENS
A Lenten experience for Teens The Church needs YOU!!!
We need your enthusiasm, natural energy and idealism! The role of young people in the Church is to show others that we are a living Church, alive and well, and ready to serve. The Eucharist is central to our Identity as Catholic Christians. Join us on Tuesday evenings in Lent and find out how we can share this truth with the world we live in every day! We will begin February 21st with an orientation night of games and food at 7:00 PM. We will meet in the School building. Call Sherry Rochford for more information.
We teach the children to fast, pray and give away. Join us for our Ash Wednesday Family Service at 5:00 PM to get your materials for Living the Eucharist. As Catholic Christians we believe that all things created by God are good. We believe foremost that human beings are created in the image and likeness of God. We are what we are and no matter our belief, our heritage or our financial situation, we are to be respected. It is our right to expect dignified treatment. It is our responsibility to make sure that these rights are being upheld. During our Lenten Season, think about the less fortunate and pray for them. Pray for our politicians who have the ability to make the changes we need to ensure that all life is protected from conception to tomb. Pray also for a changed heart in all those who would see life as disposable, and the poor as unworthy of our assistance.
