Second Sunday of Lent - February 22, 2026
"This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased," we hear in today's Gospel as Jesus is transfiigured at the top of a high mountain. "Listen to him." Listening is important, so important that it is the Father's sole command to the three disciples who accompanied Jesus up the Mountain. Let us now obey that command and listen to God's word - to Abraham, from Paul to Timothy, and Matthew's account of the Transfiguration - for we too are the Son's disciples, eager to grow in faith and understanding.
Father George will be available for confessions after every morning Mass or call Father George at 618-663-1266 to make an appointment. Father George is also inviting anyone who would like to meet with him to take about any issue they may have. Please call him. Schedule: Tuesday's at St. Charles after morning Mass, Wednesday's at St. Barbara after morning Mass; Friday's at St. Michael's after morning Mass.

Next weekend our parish and others throughout the diocese will have an opportunity to support the Catholic Service and Ministry Appeal.

If you do not receive a pledge card in the mail, please use the in-pew envelopes that will be available. thank you so much for your consideration.
