uring the coming days we will celebrate the high point of our Christian

There will be many opportunities between the four churches of our parish for all to
participate in the Holy Week Ceremonies and we encourage as many as possible to
come along, recall these Sacred Events and allow again the call from the Upper Room
to be heard — ”DO THIS IN MEMORY OF ME”.

moment in our diocese and all, especially our Confirmation Candidates and families, as
well as those involved in caring for the sick are welcome.
