How Are You Preparing Your Heart for Lent?
February 20, 2025
MINOR CHANGE IN MASS SCHEDULE. PLEASE READ!!
Starting March 9, Wednesday morning Mass time will change to 7 a.m. instead of 6:30 a.m.
Also, as of the First Sunday of Lent, the 7 p.m. Mass time will change to 6:30 p.m. The late Sunday evening Mass, a Spanish Mass, was inserted into our liturgical calendar when the parish had three priests. We no longer have three priests and, to be frank, I have found the lateness of that Mass to be exhausting. However, it attracts a crowd who otherwise might not be able to go to Mass. Therefore, I am moving the time back by thirty minutes because being home by 8 p.m. Sunday night is better than being home at 8:30 p.m. I appreciate your flexibility.

This unique experience combines hands-on learning with spiritual growth, creating memories that will last a lifetime. The cost per student is $325, and our goal is to raise $10,000 to ensure every student can attend. Your support can make a meaningful difference! If you would like to help sponsor a child, please reach out to Principal Molly Goldsworthy at principal@steugeneschool.org or (405) 751-0067.
