EVENING PRAYER: This Wednesday evening March 10^th, at 7:00 p.m., we will have Evening Prayer at St. Boniface. We hope you will join us.

THE SCRUTINIES are celebrated within the Saturday and Sunday assemblies on the Third, Fourth, and the Fifth Weeks of Lent. While the prayers seem to concentrate on those who will enter the Church at the Easter Vigil, they are really opportunities for all of us to examine our hearts and minds in the light of the Gospel. This weekend we focus on being freed from the slavery of sin and longing for the living water that brings eternal life. The RCIA group will be in attendance at the 4:00 PM Mass on Saturday, March 6^th.

This is CATHOLIC MINISTRIES APPEAL Commitment weekend. Please join with Catholics in every parish who do their part for the Church throughout the 19 counties of our Archdiocese. God calls us to share what we have to help others. The Appeal brochure tells more about who benefits and where the money goes. Please review the brochure, and then take a step up with a generous pledge. Remember that God returns a hundredfold what we offer in love. Please visit www.catholicappeal.info for more information.

ARCHBISHOP SCHNURR ASSUMES LEADERSHIP

The Most Rev. Dennis M. Schnurr, coadjutor archbishop of Cincinnati since Oct. 17, 2008, has succeeded the Most Rev. Daniel E. Pilarczyk as archbishop, becoming the 10th ordinary (presiding bishop) of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati since its founding in 1821.

The move follows Pope Benedict XVI’s acceptance today of Archbishop Pilarczyk’s resignation, which he submitted on his 75th birthday, Aug. 12, 2009, in accord with church law. He had been archbishop for 27 years, longer than any other currently serving archbishop in the United States.

“One year ago, when Pope Benedict XVI appointed me coadjutor archbishop of Cincinnati, I was humbled and honored,” Archbishop Schnurr stated. “Today, after having had the opportunity to visit so many of our parishes, schools, and other institutions over the past months, I feel even more grateful and privileged. The welcome has been overwhelming, and I look forward to working with our priests, deacons, religious and lay people in building upon the solid foundation of faith that is so evident in our communities.”

Archbishop Schnurr, who today became our Archbishop upon the resignation of Archbishop Pilarczyk, has recorded a 2½-minute video message to Catholics of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. You can find it through our website, www.CatholicCincinnati.org or directly at www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6azJdFCSps.
