OREMUS COMMUNICATIONS MARCH 2017 NEWSLETTER
Greetings everyone! Well, Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, March 1, and as we know is a time of penance, sacrifice, and almsgiving. Yet, we also know that there is a wonderful ending to the Lenten Season when we celebrate with great joy the Paschal Mysteries including the Glorious Resurrection of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ on Easter Sunday. In addition, there are some other significant dates that are worthy of note, and one in particular, especially if you are Irish, is the Feast Day of St. Patrick on Friday, March 17. We will have some special prayers for St. Patrick to be sure.
Another important date, also, occurring in the middle of Lent is the Feast Day of St. Joseph, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This year, instead of celebrating on the 19th of March as is the usual custom, because it falls on Sunday, we will be honoring St. Joseph on the next day, Monday, the 20th which, also, is the 1st day of Spring! Oremus Communications has a great devotion to St. Joseph and accordingly on that date, we have made arrangements with Fr. Leonard Lewandowski A. M. Div., Pastor of St. Titus Parish in East Norriton, Pa. to be the guest Co-Host for the Oremus Communications Family Rosary Program (OCFRP).
Fr. Leonard has been a long time radio celebrity in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, leading many religious events in honor of Our Blessed Mother. For instance, Fr. “Leonard” has been a long time prayer partner of Our Lady of Fatima and is looking forward to talking with us about her and St. Joseph, and what they mean to us here and now. (For scheduling details, etc. please see the bottom footnote). This will be the first time at OCFRP for Fr. “Leonard”. So please join us if you can in giving him a big welcome on Monday, the 20th!
Preceding Fr. Leonard’s visit, Mr. Carl Malburg, Guardian of the International Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Our Lady of Fatima will join us once again on Tuesday, March 14th for more inspiring and informative conversation about Our Lady of Fatima. As you know, we will be officially celebrating the 100th Anniversary of Our Lady of Fatima on May 13th of this year, and we look forward to learning more about the Fatima Message before the big event, about which “Carl” is so knowledgeable.
On Friday, March 31, Mr. Charles DeFeo, OP our long time guest Co-Host will be returning from Florida in time to share some Lenten reflections and insights about the Early Church Fathers. A must program!
