The Stations of the Cross - Booklets
As Fr. George has mentioned, we are live streaming The Stations of the Cross each week during Lent. St. Julie's is making available, at cost, a packet of the 5 books we are currently using so that those joining via live stream may pray with those who are in church.
A set of the 5 books (in like new condition) will be available for $6. This cost is to simply cover the replacement at our bulk rates.
If you are interested, please send the rectory an email. We will need a few days to get the packet together and will then have it at the office during standard office hours of Mon-Friday from 9am - 5pm. We will also provide a copy of the schedule so you will be ready for Stations on Fridays' at 7:00pm. (Please note, the version used each week is subject to change).

From the desk of: Fr. George
A parishioner shared with me information on a podcast that I found quite interesting and inspiring. During a year where we find ourselves spending much time separated from each other, it feels like a personal invitation to journey with the Lord. It is an opportunity for each of us to follow at our own pace and from the safety and comfort of our homes.
Each day, a 20-25 minute session will guide us through several readings, a reflection, and end with a guided prayer. A few moments every day to learn and be strengthened by the holiest of books.
The Bible in a Year podcast is offered through Ascension Press and is hosted by Fr. Mike Schmitz. A brief introduction from Fr. Schmitz is located here.

A Message from Fr. George
Greetings Parishioners and friends of St. Julie’s,
Listening seems to be the key word of this weekend. Abraham listened not only to God’s request to sacrifice his son Isaac, but he also listened to the Lord’s messenger who halted the sacrifice and revealed the abundance of God’s love. As Peter, James and John experienced the transfiguration of Jesus on top of the mountain, they also listened… they heard the voice from the cloud saying: “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.” It is now the second week of Lent. God did not spare his own Son but handed Him over that all might be saved. Each of us has become the benefactor of Jesus’ suffering and death. Each of us is the receiver of mercy and grace. Each of us has been given the promise of resurrection and eternal life. What more do we need to hear? Truly listening to the Scriptures can open our hearts to a joyful season of lent and a lifetime of living in His love. Take the time to listen to the prayers at Mass. Hear the voices of your neighbors who might be worried about the pandemic, educating their children, and uncertain financial hurdles. Ask yourself the well known question: “What would Jesus Do?” And then listen for the answer and act accordingly. Lent is an excellent opportunity to refocus and rejuvenate our role to serve our brothers and sisters in Christ. Spend some time reflecting upon the Works of Mercy as well as the Deadly Sins. It will be time well spent and can be immensely helpful… especially in lent. Do not let the weeks pass you by without spending time listening to what God asks and promises!
Fr. George
