PASTOR’S CORNER
Lenten Focus: The Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation
Archbishop Lucas has sent a reminder to all priests that this year’s focus for Lent this year
is the Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation. In order to promote the sacrament, the Archbishop
is spearheading and archdiocesan-wide program which will expand confession times throughout the
archdiocese and make the sacrament to topic of homilies at Mass. The program is called “The
Light is On,” and will involve an orchestrated schedule, which is as follows:
1) Preaching on the Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation at the Masses on 2-3 and 9-10
February, which are the two Sundays before Ash Wednesday.
2) On the first Sunday of Lent, priests will give a brief homily and then lead the congregation in an
examination of conscience.
3) All churches in the Archdiocese will offer the Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation on the
five Thursdays of Lent from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. (February 21, 28, March 7, 14, 21). Parishes will
also offer other confession times as appropriate for local needs and custom. Be mindful that at
least some parishes that offer penance services during Lent will not do so this Lent due to the
expanded confession times.
Please look for the expanded confession schedule in the bulletin that will be distributed on the
Sunday before Ash Wednesday.

West Catholic Scrip Program
WHAT IS SCRIP?
In order for Scrip to work, a participating retailer agrees to give a discount to Great
Lake Scrip Center. This discount is passed along to the school, and when the
certificate is sold by the school for FULL Face Value, this discount becomes revenue
for the school.
So.. the certificates come as either a gift card or a paper certificate. They are honored
at all stores that have their name on that card. If you order a Kohl’s for $100, you
have $100 to spend but the school profits $4 because Kohl’s gives back 4%. A list of
participating vendors and their percentage of discount is available on the GLSC web
site.
We order cards on Monday mornings, and have them by Friday of that week, so some
planning ahead is necessary. There are some “Scrip Now” certificates that are
available to you within the hour if you have a PRESTO PAY account.
The school has profited over $3000 in the little over 2 years that we have been
participating. We have a loyal following but would welcome newcomers. Our
potential for profit would be increased if more families would participate. Cards can
be used for anytime you go shopping. They are also great for Christmas, weddings,
showers, teachers, etc.
If you would like to meet with any one of the three coordinators, just give us a call. Or
just call in an order to any one of us!
Please consider the Scrip program for your Holiday Shopping and MORE!
