"It is not the soul alone that should be healthy;
if the mind is healthy in a healthy body, all will be healthy and much better prepared to give God greater service."

Savory and "meaty", pesto-stuffed mushrooms are the perfect little slider to serve as an appetizer or as a side dish. If you like things a little spicy, don't be afraid to use the red pepper flakes!
Watch the video on how to making this dish. Ingredients- 12 baby Portobello mushrooms
- � tsp garlic powder
- � tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 T soy sauce (liquid aminos for Gluten-free recipe)
- 1 T lime juice
- 2 T balsamic vinegar
- water to dilute marinade
- red pepper flakes to taste
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 7 T olive oil (4 T to cook spinach, 3 T for pesto)
- 1 medium shallot
- 8 cloves garlic (4 to cook with spinach, 4 to process in pesto)
- � cup walnuts
- 1 cup fresh basil
- � cup fresh parsley
- parmesan cheese (optional, but highly recommended)
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375�F.
1. Clean & trim the mushrooms, removing the stalk and gills, and place cap-down in a bowl. Using a toothpick, poke holes into the mushroom caps' "meat" for the marinade to settle in.
2. Mix garlic powder, onion powder, salt, soy sauce, lime juice, balsamic vinegar and a little water. Pour marinade evenly over the mushrooms and top with red pepper flakes. Let sit while preparing the filling.
3. Pour 4 T olive oil in a pan set at medium heat. Add minced garlic and sliced shallot - coat in oil. Add spinach to the mix and wilt, stirring constantly. We're going to continue stirring until the spinach looks bright green and glistening, without being soggy. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
4. For the pesto, blend walnuts, fresh basil, parsley, garlic and olive oil in a food processor/blender into a spreadable paste (cheese-eaters, blend some parmesan cheese into the mix as well).
5. Drain any leftover marinade from the mushrooms. Pack the spinach mix into the bottom of each mushroom, topping with pesto (garnishing with parmesan cheese).
6. Bake for 20 minutes and serve warm or room temperature.

A different approach to the foot washing ceremony during Holy Thursday Mass on March 24, 2016 will be taken at Saint Patrick Catholic Church. The Liturgical Commission in conjunction with the Jesuit priests want to ensure that anyone who wishes to have their feet washed can do so. The foot washing ceremony represents how all disciples should serve one another based on the example of Jesus. |

Unending Prayers for Mercy
Thank you to all who attended the Healing Mass of Mercy for those who were survivors of sexual abuse, their families and friends and any other people who have been hurt or suffering in any way as a result of sexual abuse by clergy members and religious brothers and sisters. The 162 people who attended heard songs and prayers that helped with the healing process and were touched in some way by the Grace that God in His merciful way extended. We continue to pray for those most in need of God's mercy and love. |
It is through the open exchange of ideas and differing opinions that we grow and mature in faith, understanding and relationship with God and one another. We want to hear from you! Read More

This year's REACH Auction has a new strategy for auction items. With the goal of raising more money for the school, we will be auctioning a limited number of high quality items, rather than having many auction items of lower value.
There are several ways in which you can support the silent or live auctions including accessing our gift registries, donating an item on our wish list, gathering a few friends and combining your resources for a great auction donation or donating funds in lieu of ordering an item.
Interested in volunteering with this year's REACH Auction? A number of volunteer opportunities are available for serving dinner, set-up and clean-up. Complete the Reach Volunteer Form to sign up.
