HOLY WEEK 2015
Palm Sunday is our entrance into the most sacred week of the Church’s liturgical year. The beautiful cer emonies
of Holy Week are not to be mere recollections or dramatizations of past events; rather the liturgical celebrations of
Christ’s passion, death and resurrection are “memorials” in the fullest sense of that term. This means that the ceremonies of Holy Week actually make present the events of that first Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday in
Jerusalem. In other words, Jesus will suffer, die and rise again through our sacramental celebrations of Holy Week and
Easter.
Therefore, today we go up to Jerusalem with Jesus to hail Him as our sovereign Lord and King. On Thursday evening we
will gather with Him in the Upper Room at Jerusalem as He institutes the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and the Most
Blessed Sacrament of the Altar. Further, in a very real sense we will be present in the Cenacle as He ordains His first
priests, so that Christ’s saving ministry will never be absent from our lives. On Good Friday, we will accompany our
Lord on His Way of the Cross and stand with His mother Mary at the foot of the cross, knowing that our sins have
caused such agony. But on Easter Sunday we will glory in the knowledge that Christ has risen, sin and death have been
defeated, and our redemption has been accomplished.
May this truly be a Holy Week for our parish family. And may we all step back from the hectic pace of life for just
one week and dedicate ourselves to contemplating what Jesus has done for us, and what He continues to do for us today!

ADULT SACRAMENTAL PREPARATION
RCIA: “The third step in the Christian initiation of adults is the celebration of the Sacraments of Baptism,
Confirmation
and
Eucharist.
Through this final step the elect, receiving pardon for their sins, are admitted into the people of God. They
are graced with adoption as children
of God and are led by the Holy Spirit into the promised
fullness of time begun in Christ and, as they share in
the Eucharistic sacrifice and meal, even to a foretaste
of the kingdom of God.” (RCIA #206) Our parish elect
and candidates, who have journeyed towards the
Easter sacraments will be baptized, confirmed and
received into the Church and join us for the first time
at the table of the Eucharist at the Easter Vigil –
please come and support their faith journey and be
inspired and encouraged in your own .
BAPTISMAL PREPARATION: Pr epar ing for your
baby’s Baptism? Our next class will be held Thursday,
April 30th, at 7:00pm in the convent dining room.
This program will familiarize you with the Sacrament
and help to make your infant’s baptism a meaningful
and memorable experience. Please remember this class
is required by the Diocese and you only need to take it
with your first child. Please call the Parish Office to
register!
We are in need of an additional 2-3
woman to serve as volunteer Wedding Coordinators. The r ole of the

standing at the foot of his cross.

our parish community providing $3,828 in food, $1,015 for medical expenses, and $8,170 for utilities, mortgages/rents, etc.
The collection for the St. Vincent de Paul Society this weekend
offers an opportunity to bring the Risen Christ’s mercy and compassion to others, as we stand at the foot of the cross of those who
are suffering in our community.
Your gift to our neighbors in need gives witness to the Easter hope
and joy available for all. Christ is RISEN in deed!
Please keep the families served in your prayers! Thank you and
