A New & Eternal Covenant

In today's first reading, we hear about the covenant of peace God made with Noah--and all of us--after the great flood. In the gospel, Jesus begins his ministry which will lead to a new and eternal covenant for the forgiveness of sins.

As we gather for Mass today--whether in person or on-line--we enter into this great mystery of faith, the faith that unites us and holds us together.

The Cantor Sings

Our talented Music Director, Eduardo Magistrado, sings "Change Our Hearts" for this Sunday's on-line liturgy. It's inspired by Jesus' message today: "Repent and believe in the Gospel."

The Rite of Election

On Saturday, four of our young parishioners signed the Book of Elect, which is a strong affirmation that they are on their way to being baptized in the Church on the evening of the Easter Vigil. Together with their families, we announced their names reflecting the good news that Jesus Christ has called them to know him more fully through a life in the Catholic Church.

In addition to our the four newly Elect, we have 2 other adults and 5 more children who will receive Confirmation and Eucharist, also at the Easter Vigil. Please pray for them as they prepare for this important moment in their lives.

Food for the Hungry

Thank you to everyone who is bringing in food, paper goods and Jewel Gift Cards today to support area families in need. Deacon Larry will be at the doors of the church until 3pm Sunday to help collect donations.

We continue to support our neighboring parishes food pantries. The need is still very much there, and they are very grateful to all of us for the ways we support this effort month after month during some tough times. Thank you everyone!

A Note from Deacon Allen

We would like to continue working to integrate Catholic Social Teaching more fully within the St. Hubert Parish Community. I am seeking to get your individual input and perspectives. What do you think would help to inspire, educate, encourage and/or empower our parishioners to engage more fully in the call of the Gospels in these issues?

Anyone interested in sharing their ideas and/or perspectives on critical components of social concern, please send me an email. I will be scheduling an online meeting to discuss your thoughts, ideas, and next steps.

Thank you,

Deacon Allen

Lighting the Way Through Lent

Our Lenten symbol this year is the light of Christ. As we continue to persevere day by day, we persevere in hope because we fix our eyes on Jesus Christ, the one leading us (Hebrews 12:2). This small flame can be lit as we pray each day, read Scripture, or simply need to focus on a symbol that affirms in our heart that Jesus is with us.

If you're unable to make it to the church and would appreciate a candle for Lent, please call us at 847-885-7700 ext. 102, and we'll find a way to get you one.

May God continue to strengthen us and bring us together as we journey toward Easter,

--Fr. Mike and the Parish Staff
