Notes from Fr. Vic
Pastor's Page
"My sheep hear my voice; I know them, and they follow me."
John 10:27
February 17, 2026
​
With Lent starting tomorrow with Ash Wednesday: I thought I would give
you this fun video in preparation.
This Lent, you don’t have to wait until you feel ready, strong, or right
spiritually. God is ready to meet you right where you are.
-In this conversation, Fr. Columba Jordan and Fr. Mike Schmitz talk about
what God is really asking us for: an offering of whatever we have to give
right now.
-From prayer and fasting to exercise, they explore why the spiritual life can
never be separated from the physical. Reflecting on ordinary actions, like a
short walk or a simple fast, they reveal that anything can become an act of
worship when offered with love.
​
Also remember we kicked off the BAA this past weekend. More to come on
the BAA (Bishop’s Annual Appeal).
Vivat Jesus,
Father Vic Gournas
