MESSAGE FROM THE PASTOR
Monday of Holy Week
Is 42:1-7; Jn 12:1-11
HR
Marilyn Beaumaster
Holy Week is going to be very special this year, as it is the first
year we come together for the holiest week of the year as a
two-parish cluster. I invite both parishes to come to Holy Rosary
Church here in St. Marys to celebrate the Lord’s Supper on Holy
Thursday, April 2nd, beginning at 7 pm. Then on Good Friday we
have two opportunities to walk the path of Calvary with Christ:
Stations of the Cross begin at Holy Rosary at noon, immediately
followed by the Celebration of the Lord’s Passion, where we
venerate the cross and receive Holy Communion. This same
service will be held at St. Patrick’s beginning at 7 pm (while at the
same time at Holy Rosary we will have Stations).
Tuesday of Holy Week
Is 49:1-6; Jn 13:21-33, 36-38

Then on Saturday night, April 4th, beginning at 8:45 pm at
Holy Rosary, we will have the Easter Vigil Mass for both parishes.
I hope many from St. Patrick’s will attend this special night. We
will light Easter candles from both parishes, and have baptisms
and confirmations for a number of people. The whole program
usually lasts until 10:30, at latest 11:00 pm, but what the heck, you
not going to be doing anything that night anyway. So come to
church and be like Mary Magdalene at the tomb, wanting to be
with her Savior.
On Easter Sunday we will have the normal Mass schedule of 8 am
and 11 am at Holy Rosary and 9:30 am at St. Patrick. After that I
take a nap.
My hope is that each and every one of you really gets into
Holy Week this year. Try your best to make it to at least one or
two of the services during the week.
God bless you all and Happy Easter!

Hoops for Heart Benefits Greatly from Holy Rosary School!
Mrs. Jill Askins organized our Hoops for Heart Campaign this
year. Students brought in donations of $2,224.30 to benefit the
American Heart Association. Amazing for our little school,
huh? One youngster even got into her piggy bank and donated
$9.30 of her own money. Generosity is alive and well at
Holy Rosary. Several students donated over $100 for this very
worthwhile cause:

EDUCATION COMMISSION
ELECTIONS
Staff and students continued their Lenten resolutions this week
with taking care of our work! Our work is our school, whether it

competence, thanking our Lord each morning for our Catholic
school. We took care to pray for each other, to do group work
and homework without putting it off, and to point out others’ gifts.
How did you take care of your work this past week?
The month of March brings the virtue of honesty.
